I dont want to lose my Unlimited data plan :(

I been a VZN customer going on five years now, probably nothing compared to some of the other customers on here. I currently own a iPhone 4, my plan that i have is a 900min, unlimited data and text. I know since back in June, Verizon was ending the unlimited data plan and I'm pretty upset with that, which I am sure a lot of you are as well. I been thinking of what i can do besides buying a used 4G phone or paying full retail. I dont have a dummy phone or another line to upgrade, i have called VZN of different matters including my plan, apparently the new plans wouldnt be good fit for me in the sense of the tiered data plans, last month i used 10.5GB, I was like holy hell, i couldn't believe it haha. So I am stuck and i want a new 4G phone but i dont want to give up my unlimited data plan, believe or not i have read some articles online about how customers have been able to keep their unlimited data plan after June and upgrade to a new phone, i mentioned this to the Rep. and they mentioned that YES in some Super RARE occasions they have seen customers keep there old plans with new phones but no clue on how.
So if there are any Reps reading this and can help me, Please respond or anybody have some thoughts.

Some people are adding lines to their account and moving the new phone to the unlimited line, then placing a basic phone on the new line.
To me that's silly. Ok it's $9.99 for the 2nd line. I my area with the taxes and fees, it's just under $14 per month. Basically $165 a year to get a phone at a discount. So if one keeps the phone 20 months did one save anything vs just paying full price upfront? Even if one saved as it worth all that hassle?

How can i purchase an iphone 5s at full retail? I don't want to lose my unlimited data.

How can i purchase an iphone 5s at full retail? I don't want to lose my unlimited data.

What carrier are you using?
Assuming you are in the U.S. the easiest way would be to just buy the T-Mobile iPhone 5s from a retail Apple store or the Online Apple store.
THose are unlocked. and all you would need to do is insert your own sim card into the phone.

Will I lose my unlimited date plan if...

....I simply switch to a 4G LTE device?
I am currently using a family members upgrade in order to switch to the iPhone 5. I am not upgrading on my account because I don't have an upgrade. I am simply switching phones. So will I still lose my unlimited data plan? The policy states that customers upgrading to a 4G LTE device will lose their plan. But again, I'm not actually upgrading...just transferring my number to a a new device.

Hi there KM536986 and community!
Getting the new iPhone 5 is super exciting! This would be considered "providing your own equipment" if you bring the phone from an outside source, such as another account.
This means you will not lose your Unlimited Data plan. Keep in mind that the warranty provided through us directly doesn't transfer, but Apple still provides warranty for the year you have the phone.
Let us know if you have any other questions!
Thanks,

Will I lose my Unlimited Data plan?

Hi, I currently have an LG Vortex, which I got sometime in June of this year when I was scheduled for an update. Obviously, my phone isn't ready for an update yet, but if I take in a phone I already have (such as my father's, which he's giving me because he's getting himself an iPhone) and take it into Verizon to have them switch me over to that one (which is a Droid 2), will I lose the unlimited data plan I have currently on my phone since they got rid the the unlimited data recently?
Basically, by switching phones, will I lose my data plan?
And also, since I'm not buying a new phone, that's not technically updating, so I don't have to pay for the early update fee, right?
Thanks.

I have been a Verizon Wireless customer for over 15 years. I recently found out that there is no advantage to continuing as a customer. Not only will I now be charged a $30 fee to stay their customer upon renewal (this is supposed to be okay since everyone else is doing it), my plan will automatically be changed for our whole family and I will now be paying more a month for less service. So the benefits of staying a customer used to be grandfathering the plan you have, great renewal perks, and no fees; all gone. Why stay? No reason to. Thank you Verizon.
So the response from 4/2/12 is outdated. You cannot keep your (grandfather) old plan. That is a perk that has been taken away.

Why did I lose my unlimited data plan when 2 co-workers didn't when they upgraded?

I recently found out that 2 co-workers updated their phones back in Oct. 2013. They purchased new phones under contract on lines available for upgrade at that time. After the purchase, they both switched the new phone to another line of theirs with the unlimited data plan. They continue to get the unlimited data plan on these older lines even though they switched the new phones to these older lines. I purchased a phone for my son back in Dec. 2012. His line was not available for upgrade at that time. I upgraded my husband's line with the new phone and then they switched it to my son's line. I was told that I would no longer be able to get the unlimited data on my son's line now. I asked why, I wasn't upgrading his line but the other line and they said once I switch the new phone to my son's line it automatically removed the unlimited data. They told me nothing they could do because Verizon was trying to eliminate the unlimited data plans. Dec. 2013 I went to get my daughter a new phone. Her line was available for upgrade. The Verizon employee also asked if I wanted to upgrade my son's line since it was available for upgrade. I asked about the unlimited data and how I lost it on his line before. I asked if I could upgrade his line and then move the phone over to my daughter's line and keep her unlimited data. The Verizon worker told me no. Said anytime you purchase a new phone, it will not allow the unlimited data to be kept, that any phone under contract removes the unlimited data even if the new contract is not originally purchased under the line switching to. Both of my co-workers were able to to upgrade on one line, switch to line that still had unlimited data and keep it. Why? I'm so upset over this difference. I phoned Verizon at the worker stated that it could not be done. He was nice but could not understand how one was able to do it and I couldn't. One of the people who did upgrade and kept the unlimited data said that the employee at the Verizon store told her that they couldn't do it that why--keeping the unlimited data because they would get into trouble and possibly fired. She said she came home called Verizon and Verizon at the 800# did it for her. I feel like I was done wrong--I should have never lost my unlimited data when I switched the phone to my son's line in Dec. 2012 nor my daughter's line Dec. 2013. They did offer me the 6 gb data for my daughter at 30.00, but my son's could not be done that way since it had been back in Dec. 2012. So I am being charged 30.00 for 2 gb. I have until Jan. 15 to return her phone for a refund, except the 35.00 restocking fee. I am thinking about doing this because so dissatisfied. Someone needs to check into this matter...should be no difference in customers. This is not hear say,,,,it came straight from the people themselves. They know what they have--they have unlimited data and both received new phones in Oct. 2013 under lines available for upgrade and switching to line unavailable for upgrade at that time. Some please help me to understand why? If it can be done....I should be able to get it too. Verizon should address this issue and treat all customers the same!!!! Thanks

If you didn't get a subsidized upgrade on the line with unlimited data, you should have been able to keep your son's plan and just activate the phone on his line. The line you used the upgrade from will no longer have unlimited, but if you just had a basic phone on that line it wouldn't matter. I would return the phone, and then order a new one either online, over the phone, or in a Verizon corporate (not a "reseller" or "authorized retailer"). That is the only reason I can think of that you would have to lose the unlimited data. Also, be sure the contract/upgrade date is reset, before leaving the store if possible. I know sometimes the returns don't get processed and reported to Verizon right away, and you don't want to find out in a week or two that the return wasn't processed by the 15th. Good luck to you! :)

Switching to an old Basic phone for a week.... will I lose my unlimited data plan?

I have a Droid Incredible. It sold on ebay sooner than anticipated. So I need to activate my old LG EnV until Jan 7th when I can upgrade to a new phone (because the Incredible will get shipped out first thing in the morning to my buyer, and I'll still need a phone for those 5 days in between!)
The LG EnV is not a smartphone. It does not require a data plan. Will my data plan get cancelled when I enable this phone? I have an unlimited data plan that I was grandfathered into. I don't want to lose it. When I get my Galaxy Nexus I plan to take advantage of my data plan!!! lol

Speaking from personal experience, my wife's Droid had become unuseable at one point and we had to activate an old dumbphone for her while waiting for the replacement. I posed the question several times about the unlimited data and the rep on the phone made a note on my account. After we got the replacement, the unlimited data was back on, and I had a reference just in case.

If I upgrade to new iphone, will I lose my unlimited data plan?

If I upgrade my iphone 4 to the iphone 5, will I lose my "grandfathered" status with an unlimited data plan? It requires a new 2 year contract with AT&T, but I have been told by others that they were booted out of the unlimited plan.???

My sister did that, and they told her no... but then she discovered on her first bill it was "unlimited up to 4G" (fine print) - she would have never done that if they were honest about it

Will I lose my unlimited data plan if I upgrade to new iPad

I am grandfathered in to the unlimited data plan on AT&T. Will that carry over to the new iPad? When I sent from iPad to iPad 2 all I had to do was swap my SIM into the new iPad, but wouldn't I need a new SIM for 4G?

You'll need to call AT&T and ask them.
Regards.

Does 4g phone work with grandfathered in unlimited data plan?

I am out of contract (month-to-month service) with an unlimited data plan that is grandfathered in. I don't want a new contract, because I don't want to loose my unlimited data plan, so I'm going to buy a new smartphone for full price without contract. I've done this before, by simply activating the new phone online for free. My concern is that I am using a 3g phone, and most phones are 4g, so will a 4g phone work with my current data plan?
note: It is a $29.99/month fee for unlimited data (grandfathered in before 7/7/11)

My wife and i just upgraded our phones at a Best Buy and they changed our plan to a 2gig plan telling me that there was no unlimited plan. Do you have any idea why this is? I have had unlimited data plans for years now but it looks like i have been forced or tricked into getting a 2 gig plan. Any advise?
This is because Verizon has discontinued unlimited data plans UNLESS you pay full retail for your phone. If you notice, my last reply was from 1 year ago. Verizon's policy on unlimited data changed in, I believe, June of 2012 at which point unlimited was only kept if you paid full retail for a new phone and did not have to sign a new contract.
Now if you sign a new contract, you lose your unlimited data and have to choose from a tiered data plan starting at $30 for 2GB or switch to the Share Everything plan.

Unlimited Data Plan-Need to change my phone but don't want to lose!!

I am "grandfathered" into the unlimited data plan, we have four lines, I need to change my phone as my current one doesn't work. I tried switching to an old phone that I used 6 months ago with the unlimited data via online and it would not allow me to do so. How can I change to another phone without being told I have to buy a data plan? If we need to "buy a data plan" all 4 phones will be going else where....

Makes no difference about any tin foil hats, Verizon is using ANY MEANS to force unlimited data users off the unlimited and onto share or metered data. It is a fact. They tried twice with me and I pay full price for my devices.
1) Change your minutes, they want to take away your unlimited.
2) Buy a new device on subsidy, lose your unlimited data.
3) Buy a new device on the Edge program, lose unlimited data.
4) Swap a device on your account, they want to take unlimited away.
5) Add a prepay tablet to your account, they tell you that you lose Unlimited data.
However the instructions are you are prepaying for the tablet use so its billed to your credit or debit card yet not really part of your cell phone plan but they want you to lose unlimited.
In short if you go online or call on the phone or even chat, for any reason in some cases Verizon is removing your unlimited data. And you have to be careful since many here are stating the same as I listed.
They are a business, if they decided not to have unlimited data trust me it will be gone. So leave a little room in that tin foil so the broadcast will get through.
Just for a giggle, many many years ago I bought an unlimited Mobil Gasoline coffee cup. You paid for it once and each time you came to a Mobil station you get a free coffee. I still have the cups (they came in two sizes) yet just try and get that free coffee. The company dropped the promotion. And now you get arrested for theft.
Nothing lasts forever.
Good Luck

Hi,
There is no option when using your Recovery Discs to reinstall that will allow you to keep a custom partition, so you'll have to do this another way. A possible option is described below.
First, click the Start Menu, open Computer and double-click Local Disk C - you should see a folder called swsetup. This will contain all the driver installers and practically all of the software installers for your notebook - back this up to an external device/media.
Next, create a retail installation disc yourself - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same as the version you currently have ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
With reference to the guide on the link below, use this disc to perform the installation - when you get to Step 7, choose the Custom ( advanced ) option and select the C partition as the destination to install Windows.
Windows 7 Custom Installation.
Enter the Windows activation key found on the underside of your notebook when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

When the installation has completed, use the installers in the swsetup folder to reinstall your drivers etc.

If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, or you don't have a backup, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

I lost my sync key and dont have access to my other computer and dont want to lose data on server by resetting it. How can I get my sync key?

I have tried words I usually use for passwords and they don't work. If I knew the acceptable format for the sync key, I could try others. But maybe the sync key is the same long number they originally sent me. I am in Chile and my laptop hard drive crashed and I needed to replace it. I can't access my sync key on my desktop in the United states but I want to download my syndc data to my laptop with the new hard drive but I dont have the sync key and I dont want to erase the sync data on the server by resetting the sync key.

I'm sorry but "you should have written it down" simply isn't a good solution. Having the keys at all is a bad idea in my opinion. The keys should be stored in your account and if you authenticate with a password, it should use that key. If you can't keep your password private or secure, that's your problem. The problem with the keys is, you can't delete your account and "start over" if you so wish. What happens if your machine locks up after you sign up and you have no time to write down your key?
You can request a new password, but can't be reminded of your key? This is nonsense. I have had no such headaches with XMarks and I'm trying to find a reason to keep using firefox sync with such an obviously user-unfriendly approach. We're humans, not machines.

I dont want to lose my Unlimited data plan :(
