You can't. Haha.

At least, I can't with what I have access to. But I really doubt they'd let any reps do it, even at the corporate stores.
[HTC Rezound] im_high_tech:
It is a little over $240 over the next two years. I just checked online and after all the taxes and regulatory fees, it comes out to be $16.24 per dummy line (My brother has a junk phone with no extras). So $16.24 x 24 months is $389.76.

There is no truth to this at all my best friend work at Verizon and this is rumors and that's all. And the rumors started here. And Verizon isn't going to force people into tiered data and they're not going to tell you to leave because of that. THIS IS HOW RUMORS START, SO PLEASE STOP SPREADING FALSE NONSENSE. AND I USE 250GIGS A MONTH, OH AND PROUD OF IT, I PAY $60 A MONTH FOR DATA AND HOTSPOT SO IT'S MY DATA TO USE..

http://bgr.com/2013/01/23/verizon-shared-data-plans-analysis-303240/

This article is a week old, but points to the (increasing) profitability of data transmission in general...stands to reason they would prefer tiered over unlimited, and will for quite some time, until a cheaper alternative comes along and forces their hand. They have the best, largest, fastest network, and us data mooching sheep know it...they will accept the "I'm mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore" defectors, because they don't amount to a hill of beans.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
There are quite a few of us "dating mooching sheep" and Verizon will take a hit. Also imagine the amount of negative PR Verizon would get if they forced people on contract off unlimited data. If that happens I'll take my business else where since I can term w/o any ETF due to breach of contract.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
I was on the phone with a Verizon rep as I needed to do an insurance claim on my bolt screen breaking. She said I was up for a new phone and I said I don't want to loose my unlimited data plan as their tiered plans suck. She said I am not suppose to tell you this but you have a dumb phone line and its up for an upgrade to. She said I could use that to get my new phone and then transfer that phone to my number. That way I wouldn't lose unlimited. So I would trust her more so than some yahoo working in bestbuy. Lol. I did get a rezound when I did my insurance claim. They wanted to give me another bolt but I was nice and told asurion lady that I am tired of the data drops that everyone complains about. She said she couldn't and I said ok. She asked if her service was 5 star and I said you would of gotten a 5 if I could get another phone. She said let me talk to someone. She came back and said I can offer a rezound. I said well I was hoping for a gnex but the rezound is better than the bolt.

So here I wait for my new phone.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
If you're tired of data drops Gnex wouldnt be the phone to get for the radio.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Well got the rezound in and must say data is so solid till its not funny. My bolt speedtest was all over the place. This phone its so solid I average in the 14 everytime . As my bolt it would be 5 or 10 or 2. Glad I got this phone. See what people said about how the rezound is what the bolt should be.

Sorry to hijack the thread but wanted to reply to the guy above he was right.
[HTC Rezound] godsmacked4653:
I'm not saying there aren't quite a few data mooching sheep, but in the area that I live, Verizon has the best coverage so about 80% of my sales are Verizon phones. Every time someone complains about unlimited data, we check how much data they use, and the most I've seen anyone use is 4 GB over a month. Most people use less than 1 GB.

So I'm not saying the data hogs don't exist, but I haven't seen any evidence that there are enough people for Verizon to care.
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
Personally if there's anything unlimited data is good for, it's not having any concern of getting charged extra.

Still, even on a family data plan wifi would compensate just as well.

Not like we Rezound'ers will have to change :) Our phone is good enough to beat most new verizon smartphone cameras, as fast as other new android phones, and has a really reliable signal.

If only the battery life for screen on was longer :silly:
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
It's simple really when people have a feature with the word "unlimited" they tend to be more at ease. Since they don't have to worry about overages etc (which is what VZW hopes for) and get stuck with an absurdly large bill. There is no reason that Verizon needs tiered data plans other than greed and maximum profit which I understand from a business prospective. There are articles stating that the cost of data transmission has gone down greatly and profit is rising thanks to their share all crap plans. I'm sure Mr CEO of Verizon can bear with a few of us having unlimited data still while he sleeps in his huge house :good:.
[HTC Rezound] godsmacked4653:
That's how you play the game, though. It's not good enough for a company to make a bunch of money and continue to make that much money. You have to make more and more money each year to attract investors and grow as a company.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Yeah I know it's all about $$$ if they take away my unlimited data while I'm on contract I'll leave simple as that. Verizon needs to realize that they won't be in the #1 position forever. Here's to Google in hoping they try to start wireless service :good:.
[HTC Rezound] GoldenCyn:
I was told the same thing about an open line that I have with the dummy ESN. I still have not upgraded yet because since I am paying 10 dollars extra month for that unused line, I just think I'll wait to terminate it when its contract is due. But it is nice to know that I can upgrade at a discount and still keep my unlimited data.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
For any of the doubters... Switched from Gnex to S3 ofc not via subsidized 2year price etc. I did the switch before my usage/cycle change as well.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Nice photoshop you devilish Verizon employee :rolleyes:

I've used over 2 gigs and I still have more than 15 days in my cycle left :-\ my college basically made it pointless to use their Internet. It's unreliable now over the main network. normally I'm on wifi a lot of the time... Now just at my apartment.. Looks like I'll be paying overages this month lol.

Edit: JUST KIDDING

[HTC Rezound] gunzup3:
So i was told by a relative that if he upgraded his phone he would loose unlimited data, is this true?
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
If he upgrades through Verizon... Yeah
[HTC Rezound] gunzup3:
Alright, thanks for the info.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
I was wondering we are going to use our third line to upgrade my wife's phone. So she don't lose unlimited data. Here's the question her phone is a droid 3. So its a 3g phone. Her next phone will be 4g. So will she keep unlimited data or still lose it as she's going from 3g to 4g?
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
If she upgrades through Verizon, yes she will. If she just grabs a third party 4G phone there's a chance. I've seen it happen putting a thunderbolt on. I just called me they switched it back.

Gs3
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
no matter what you do, using an upgrade means YOU LOSE UNLIMITED DATA.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Our third line is a dumb phone line with an upgrade.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
If you mean an alternate upgrade.. Nah you keep unlimited on your main.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Even if her phone is 3g and the phone she will be getting will be 4g
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
yep. Get the new phone on the 3rd line, then you will need to swap phones and lines. You will have to get a sim for her line from verizon but it will not effect the data on that line. It should stay unlimited. If they screw it up, make them fix it.
[HTC Rezound] TUDrewser:
Perhaps the OP could modify the title with something like [rumor, not true] just to avoid all the people seeing it in the list of threads?
[HTC Rezound] RebelShadow:
I just switched yesterday from my Incredible (3G) to a Rezound (4G) that I purchased off eBay and it did not void my "Unlimited data".

Hope this helps.

:D
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Yeah both replies was very helpful. Hope wife has better luck with her next phone. What sucks is she only wants a sliding keyboard phone so her options are limited to say the least.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
I have one more question. I have a extra unused 4g sim card I want to use in the phone. How can I activate it and not have to go in to a Verizon store?
[HTC Rezound] RebelShadow:
You can do it online while lodged into your account. That's the way I did it.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Found out the droid4 has a micro sim and the sim I had was a regular one
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
Get a sim cutter. Worked great when I upgraded to my DNA from the Rezound.

Sent from my Nexus 10
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
I think the OP is long gone lol. But yeah if this really was happening it would be all over the web.
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
Letting you keep unlimited on a upgrade was dependent on your last 3 months of usage. To high, welcome to teir. Under 2 gigs, welcome to unlimited. Now its simply tiered plans. I called 20 different times all nice as pie but every time they checked my last 3 months. And tried to sell me on the 20 gig plan. And so I had to drop 1500 on two note 2's.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
lmao you're way late to the party, brah.
[HTC Rezound] hovercraftdriver:
Dang high-roller, drop another 750 and send me one :D
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
It's for the post count brohan.
[HTC Rezound] dragonrazorz:
So anyone upgrade through best buy lately n keep their unlimited? Not by switching phones...I'm by myself on my account lol
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Not even going through third party stores will work. Only way is the add a line upgrade and then switch the phone to your primary account. Then place a dumb phone on the other line so to get rid of the data plan charge.
[HTC Rezound] dragonrazorz:
Eeh...oh well. Just remember reading someone got lucky n got to keep they're data with the upgrade.... No big deal
[HTC Rezound] Scott586:
I think it's inevitable guys, the "Unlimited" mentality just isn't practical anymore. Sure it may stay around as a premium item (and at a premium price), but that's how it should be. It isn't a one-size-fits-all world when it comes to data, and I for one don't want to subsidize the one-percenters that think they should be able to supplant their entire home data needs and download the entire internet with their cell phone. If that's what you want to do, fine, but you pay for that yourself. I'm fine with my measly 4 GB plan THAT I PAY FOR.

[/RANT-OFF]
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
And I pay for my unlimited plan which states unlimited use of their internet. So don't rant on us unlimited plan holders. We pay just like you do. Its not our fault that Verizon offered the unlimited plans. That's on them and they should have known that what would happen. They was more worried about getting customers from other carriers and not seeing what would happen later on down the road.

Tell me this what's the difference between having unlimited data with cable internet to unlimited data on a cell phone plan? Maybe you need to look up the meaning of the word unlimited. When I call tech support and they see my data usage they go wow that's a lot of data and I guess the new share everything plan isn't for you. So Verizon doesn't have a problem with it and even if they did what can they do about it. After all my plan says unlimited not a thing they can do as long as I don't upgrade using a subsidized phone. /rant off.
[HTC Rezound] dragonrazorz:
Well....4gb is nothin when you dont have landline internet like in the city

My options are acient dial up or crappy satellite internet....sooo Verizon has LTE in my area and I have unlimited..no way am i givin it up that easy ha Im payin a premium just have coverage compared to everyone else ....My unlimited is worth more than my phone lol :)
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Rant fail. Cause Verizon gives me unlimited data FOR FREE!!! You jelly bro?
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
It does seem like the only ones that has a problem with unlimited plans. Are the ones that don't have unlimited plans. I always thought it was good to get the most out of your money? Don't hate the player hate the game lol.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
They're mad cause on tiered.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
There there Mr 4gb for the price that I pay for unlimited. There there.
[HTC Rezound] godsmacked4653:
Mr. 4 GB does have a point, though. And you guys can't expect Verizon to let you keep unlimited data forever, they will eventually cut you off. (Whether that actually happens in the next few months is another story entirely)

But after your two year contract expires on your number, they aren't obligated to let you keep your unlimited because you aren't under a contract.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Shhh there there dry your tears. You can wipe it on your bill where you see your data overages while I pay less than you do for unlimited :o.

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

Yes and we know this already. Point is he doesn't need to get all butt hurt because we have unlimited still and he pays more for a limited amount. Jealousy at its best.
[HTC Rezound] godsmacked4653:
Fair enough. Hahaha.
[HTC Rezound] dragonrazorz:
Thats my point ha i wanna keep it as long as I can before its forced...but if i cant get unlimited.......at least i can go to a carrier like sprint n get unlimited aaand get new phones when theyre released ala the The Htc One phone i wish vzn would have it nxt month but i understand the reasons
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
My question is how can you abuse something which is unlimited. That's like saying you go to an all you can eat buffet and be told you can have only one plate of food. Lol
[HTC Rezound] godsmacked4653:
Because in the terms and conditions of your contract you aren't supposed to tether your phone without paying for Verizon's hotspot plan. There's also probably stuff in their about p2p sites, etc. If you're just streaming 40 hours of Netflix per month, that's not abuse, but I have a feeling most people use that unlimited data for more than that. We've all been there. ;)
[HTC Rezound] DontPushButtons:
I'd say it's more along the lines of going to an all you can eat buffet and being told "please sir, we have other customers who want food too."

Anything can be abused, even if there's an unlimited supply.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
But where is the line drawn that it becomes abuse? There is no clear line. Verizon tech has seen my useage when calling in for issues and all they say is man that's a lot of data but never been told its excessive or getting a letter saying I used too much. So I guess in the end Verizon really doesnt care that much about it. I would say I am 50 to 75 gigs a month.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
lawlz i used 19 gigs last month on my unlimited plan that i pay a penny less than you tiered people.

wait, my bad, i pay only 23.69 for my unlimited plan. woot woot 21% access/feature discount!

lol my boss used 105 gigs last month.
[HTC Rezound] JeramyEggs:
Now let me ask all of those complaining about others use of unlimited data the way they see fit. Have you ever sped? Not worn your seat belt? If old enough, made a mix tape, or recorded your favorite movie on vhs? Used, or watched tv off a splitter? Snuck candy into a theatre? Complained about a meal to get it comped? Smoked in a nonsmoking hotel room. Rooted a phone, found a fault with it, and returned it for a trade in? Seriously, how many voided there warranty, and then the headphone jack or something else went out, and then made a warranty claim? If so, it is time to get off your high horse. Others that overuse, or abuse data is their prerogative, and doesnt effect you. I used data sparingly until they took unlimited away, and then I decided that I might as well use it to the full potential. I didn't blame others for Verizons greed. If data was costing Verizon so much, then straighttalk would be killing them. They ducked tether issue with the fcc, and hide behind the terms and conditions to refuse tether to unlimited plan holders. Every one of you who are complaining would pick up unlimited, and stream google music, pandora, tunein, netflix, and a host of others if you could. Stop all the stale arguments, and hate. Let it be, let it be, speaking words of wisdom, let it be..,:)
[HTC Rezound] _T_K_:
I'm off contract. What else ya got?
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Poor jayraypina you guys don't get 50% off like the VZW employees? My company is 19-21% off I think :good:.
[HTC Rezound] godsmacked4653:
I'm not saying they're going to force you onto tiered data tomorrow. But they're not obligated to let you keep it, and you couldn't complain if they took it away, since it isn't guaranteed to you in a contract. I'm thinking the June/July date will probably be close to when most everyone who has unlimited will be out of contract, since none of them are renewing. That'd be the financially smart move on Verizon's part.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
See that's what is hard about this they would have to put you on a new contract and have you sign it. When and if they do pull my unlimited I will just buy me a nexus 4 and pick my carrier with the best plan for me or just go prepaid route.

I seriously doubt they will get rid of it anytime soon. When I had att I had unlimited talk ⁴ years after they stopped offering it. It only ended after I left them for Verizon. Back in the day when I had a lan line I had att long distance and all I paid was .25 a min and had to pay no fees to have this plan. I had this for 10 years after they stopped offering it. So businesses are never in an all fire hurry to make their customers unhappy. How long has att got rid of their unlimited data plans but people still has them. Sure they throttle the crap out of them but they still have them.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah we do. my boss's bill a month is like $30 for unlimited text, 1500 minutes, unlimited data, hotspot etc.

i'm not doing an employee plan bc it would be stupid for me to leave my current plan, especially when i stop working here and can't have the account anymore.
[HTC Rezound] boyj600:
For all of the people supporting data caps watch this video explanation of why that would suck and is really all about generating revenue http://youtu.be/uyuIiG4c4Go
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
I pay for unlimited 4G hot spot.
[HTC Rezound] DontPushButtons:
I really doubt anyone here is arguing that data caps are a good thing. I think the point of contention is that there are some people on grandfathered unlimited plans that grossly abuse it (obviously not everyone does) and their sense of entitlement.

Anyone who appears to be arguing in support of the caps are just bitter that they don't even have the opportunity to abuse unlimited (myself included.) Or they're upset by fact that they're paying more for less.

The only people that want the caps are the providers. As you mentioned, it's all about money.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
If tethering is illegal then why did Google lose a case where they ban all tethering apps on there app store? Also if Verizon really cared about this illegal tethering they would have put a stop to it long ago. Don't say they cant.

Finally what is considered abuse? One person who uses 4 gigs a month may consider 10 gigs excessive. Another person who uses 100 gigs may consider 500 gigs a month. Verizon them selves hasn't even come out with an official stance on a number that's considered in excess.

Just because your personal opinion you think people abuse the unlimited plan doesn't make you right.

So I guess you consider people that has unlimited talk and text and rack up thousand of hrs of talk time and sends tens of thousands of texts are abusing their unlimited plans also?
[HTC Rezound] boyj600:
You nailed it.
[HTC Rezound] hovercraftdriver:
Google didn't lose the case AFAIK...Verizon did, because of the conditions of the LTE spectrum leases they have rights to. The FCC threw down the hammer on VZW and VZW can do nothing currently to prevent people from tethering...at least on their 4g phones/networks. It was pretty big news last spring or summer IIRC.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Meant to say Verizon. Must of had google on the brain lol.

I just hit ~10 months on my original Rezound purchase and now VZW is hitting me up with all the "new smartphone" offers. Like I'm going to give up my unlimited LTE for a free LG Lucid. Heh. :)
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
I had a voice mail from them reminding me I had an upgrade and they wanted to help me get a more reliable phone. Wish I was awake to take the call so I could ask them why they sold me an unreliable phone? They can have my unlimited data plan when they pry it from my cold dead hands.
[HTC Rezound] ryryrocco:
Same here. I had a droid incredible 2 up until Christmas. My dad had a thunderbolt that he gave me when he upgraded to an s3. I was able to add on an extended warranty somehow even though I didn't buy the device myself. Used it for a couple of weeks then kept returning it under the warranty. Finally after the third warranty exchange I asked what else they would offer me. They said they would give me a rezound. I was hesitant because of the battery life, but after a few weeks of running hawks ecliptic rom I couldn't be happier. Love this phone and got to keep my unlimited for now. Sweet.
[HTC Rezound] oatlord:
Ummm....so, am I going to lose my unlimited data plan when I upgrade my Rezound or not? I'm a little confused by this thread.
[HTC Rezound] th3jew:
I talked to a CSR and he said if I upgraded my phone using my lines upgrade it would lose the unlimited data. However if I used someone else's or pairs full price for a new phone and just did not renew my contract it would stay until they removed the service entirely. Basically if you wish to keep it you have to buy your phone full price from someplace else. It kinda sucks that they are strong arming their customer base. I'm pry going to switch in the near future to sprint due to Verizon being giant butts.
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
Just now saw this. But yes. I got my DNA off ebay so not full MSRP lol
[HTC Rezound] drt054:
Unless it was < $200 still sounds painful.. although I bought my Rezound from Ebay in mint for $300 but was pissed at VZW and sick and tired of my LG Revolution. They wouldn't give me a decent replacement.
