Upgrading phone and keeping $15/month data (smartphone)

When Verizon temporarily had a $15/month 150MB data plan, I got it for my wife and I. Now I want to upgrade but I want to keep my plan. I wanted a phone from Amazom.com but the closest option was to "Keep existing data plan $29.99/month". Obviously they don't know that I have the $15/month plan but if I got their option, does the "Keep existing plan" part carryover but not the price?

in order to keep it you will have to upgrade with verizon
most grandfathered/prmo plans require this

This is a really good question!  I even had a little trouble confirming the answer.  However, I found it! You can keep the $15/ 150MB data plan if you are activating another Smartphone on your line(s).  If you switch the phones via My Verizon, the feature, ($15/150MB data plan) may automatically fall off and you will be switched to current pricing.  Therefore, I encourage you to call into Customer Service at 800-922-0204 and speak with a representative to make this change.  This way we can make sure all the correct codes/ features stay as they are, and you keep the $15.00 data plan.
Please be aware, if the feature falls off, (if you activate the device on your own), you have 14 days to call in and have the plan changed back to the $15.00 data package.  If you do not have this changed within 14 days, you will not be able change it and you will have to stay on current pricing.
I trust this information is helpful.  Have a wonderful day!

  • I am currently on a plan with my parents, but my two years is up and I am due for an upgrade. My plan was to drop from my parents plan and join my fiancee's. Will I be able to get a discounted phone, and keep my existing number?

    You'll need to do an Assumption of Liability. The parent that is the account owner and your boyfriend will both have to be at the store to do this. Your line is actually your parents and it will be your fiancee's once the change is made. But you should be able to get your upgrade and you definitely get to keep your number. Also depending on your fiancee's credit history there may be a security deposit required.

  • HT4528 I currently use Verizon and have a Blackberry with an unlimited data plan. Is there a way I can buy an unlocked iphone and keep my unlimited data plan bypassing Verizon's requirement to get a new plan with a 2 year committment?

    Is there a way to purchase a new iPhone and to continue my unlimited data plan without having to sign a new 2 year committment and new plan with Verizon?

    You don't buy an unlocked phone. You buy a Verizon iPhone at full retail. I just did this myself last month. I paid full retail for the phone and activated it on my plan. This allowed me to get a new phone before I was eligible to upgrade and keep my unlimited data. I also got a good deal on trading in my iPhone 5.
    You can buy the phone through Verizon or through Apple. If you buy it through Apple, I'd suggest that you not have them activated but do that yourself by logging into your account on your computer.
    Best of luck.

  • Lost my iP 3G - How do I use iP 2G until iP 4 is here and keep all my data?

    Lost my iP 3G - How do I use iP 2G until iP 4 is here and keep all my data?
    Ok so this is a bit complicated - I left my iPhone 3G in a cab last weekend and unfortunately it's lost for good. I still have my original iPhone 2G and have already went to AT&T for a new Sim Card. I want to use the old phone until the iPhone 4 is out in 2 weeks..... My question is how do I Restore/Back Up/Sync the old iPhone so I can retrieve all the information from my lost 3G and not lose any of the data. I know a lot of the newest software (3.1.3) is not supported on the old iPhone. In addition, how do I make sure that I am able to transfer all the origninal data from my lost 3G, as well as all the new data that I acquire on the iPhone 2G i'm using now onto the new iPhone 4 when I get one in a few weeks???
    Very confusing I know, I just want to make sure all my data is safe and I don't make a blockheaded mistake of erasing some or any of it.....
    Thanks to all you iPhone geniuses out there willing to provide feedback!!!

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

  • Ok, so I transferred my 3S info to my 4S by restoring from an old phone backup.  But SIRI is gone and god knows what else??  Can I get my old stuff into the new phone and keep the 4S new functionality?

    I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone.  Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

  • How do I move music off my phone and keep it in my library?

    if they are things you bought in the iTunes store, then you can trasnfer them to your iTunes library

  • HT4914 I want to transfer my entire iTunes "folder" from a newer iMac 3.06 GHz Core 2 machine running iTunes 10.7 to an older iMac running OSx 10.5.8. How best to do this and keep all my data, tags and covers in tact?

    Firstly, time to get rid of the 2 x 512MB FBDIMMs in there, they add more heat and use more watts then they add to the system. If you need more, and 4 or 8 DIMMs is ideal, Amazon has 2x2GB sets $22 - about 1/50th what I paid for 1GB new.
    Buy a 250GB Samsung EVO SSD $129
    Pick up Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com to clone the system to the SSD
    A sled adapter for the SSD from Icy Dock $14 Amazon.com
    7-8 years overdue for new system drive! amazed it lasted this long. An SSD plus some WD Black 2TB drives or larger should do the trick.
    you can also put the SSD in the lower optical drive bay and use one of the two ODD "spare" SATA ports for the SSD - an SSD is the best way to improve the performance of our old Mac Pro 2006-7 models.
    When you downloaded the Lion installer that was when to create a flash type installer with Lion DiskMaker.
    If you have put in a new-ish graphic card then OS X 10.6.0 may not support it.

  • IPhone 4s update was interrupted and message said phone had to be reset to factory settings.  Lost all photos from phone in process of transferring to pc.  Copy of my backup overroad that phone and all the old data and photos are gone.

    My boyfriend and I share an iTunes account. I just tried to update his phone and during the update an error message occurred saying that his phone had to be reset to factory settings.  It said it was an un setup phone and needed plugged in to iTunes.  With no other choice, we had to select reset to factory settings. Now, my phone backup through iCloud downloaded onto his and all of his contacts and photos were overridden by mine.  His photos were in process of transferring from the phone to the pc while this occurred and over 900 of them were complete when this happened.  They don't show up on the pc now either since the sycn wasn't finished.  Is there a way to get them back?  When we plug his phone in now it shows my name instead of his so I'm not sure how to get to an old version of his backups even.

  • How to change phones and keep account?

    I have an account with Boost Mobile and I haven't had any problems with my account. I accidentally broke my phone's screen and I need to buy the same phone (LG Venice) and switch it. How can I do that without losing my number or account? And will that affect my progress in my shrinkage plan ?

    Would it not be as simple as buying the phone and swapping out the SIM card?

  • Upgrading phone but keeping existing T-Mobile plan

    I have a 3 year old iPhone 4s which has reached the end of its lifespan and am looking at upgrading to an unlocked iPhone 6. I realise that the SIM card will not fit as I need a nano size; my question is should I request a new SIM am I going to lose my current T-Mobile pay monthly tarrif?I am on what was called the 'Full monty' plan where I have unlimited voice/text and 3G data, my concern is if I request an updated SIM then I shall be migrated to an EE sim card and lose my current plan - costing me more than I currently pay.Anyone got any advice on this?Thanks!

    Hi ,
    You can request a new size SIM card without changing the plan, this will continue on the new SIM.
    The only way you would lose this is if you upgraded to EE to get the new phone.
    Order a new SIM here.
    Thanks.

  • Trying to update phone and keeps saying not enough storage how do i fix it

    I have deleted almost every picture off my phone cause it kept telling me not enough storage. I am trying to update, but it won't let me . It keeps saying not enough storage.... How do I fix this cause it should have plenty now !

    Settings/General/About/Available will tell you how much free storage you have. From memory you need at least 1.4 GB or so to update to iOS 7 over WiFi (I strongly suggest you have more than that, 2-3 GB is safer for the iOS 7 upgrade).
    If you have problems freeing up enough space on your phone then update it via iTunes instead, that's both more likely to work without issues and doesn't require all that free space on the phone to start with.
