I just got done talking to a best buy representative, and they told me that as the of 2 days ago, any kind of hardware change will cancel your unlimited Internet. So you cannot purchase phones from eBay and use that loophole anymore.
Edit: Apparently this is a false flag and Best Buy has zero clue of what's going on. But I'm not saying that they won't close this loophole in the future.

I talked to Verizon yesterday about going to the note 2 and they never mentioned anything like that. They confirmed pretty much what I already know (In order to keep your unlimited, you would have to upgrade another line, or add a line, then transfer the phone, or supply your own phone) You shouldn't always believe what you hear, especially from the salesmen at best buy.

They said they have had a bunch of angry customers these past few days and that Verizon is trying to close every loophole possible on us unlimited planners.
If this is true I'm ditching Verizon and going pre-paid. Nexus 4 on Straight Talk is looking pretty promising.
Ok? So what would happen if I switch while under contract? I'm good up to October.
This isn't true, I'm not saying the OP is making it up, but I do think the guy at best buy is blowing smoke up his ass. If this were the case, it would be all over the internet by now. Try googling it.

Honestly I'm not inclined to believe it either. Even if OP's story is true, I've been told blatantly wrong information from Best Buy and Verizon sales people on multiple occasions.

Well right now, how me and my wife are doing it... We have 4 total lines, 2 with unlimited data, and 2 with dummy phones. To keep our unlimited, we just upgrade the dummy lines, then transfer the new phones over to our unlimited lines. Our unlimited plans remain untouched.

if this is the case, then that first time you do an ESN switch, you'd lose unlimited. i esn switched to my DNA 2 weeks ago, and i'm still good. if i ESN switch to the gs3 to get teh update and i drop unlimited, i'll let you know, raise hell to verizon, and possibly leave them after 15 years if they won't give it back lol

I don't think they care at all. I can't remember the last time I actually used a phone on the line I used to for the upgrade. I get an upgrade on one line and have my number set on it. My dInc I shoved off to a totally different contract before the contract on it's renewal line was up.

I don't know how you are going to jump phones to fix 4G draining issues those exist on all phone @ this point with exception of bionic maybe since it has not hit the hands of consumers so they can toy around with it for 12 hours. Why not get extended battery and call it good at least till more option come out. Find a Rom that works for you tweak settings stop kernel jumping and be happy.

I can talk from experience. I had a thunderbolt then I traded it for a droid charge on craigslist at the beginning of August. And I still had my unlimited data plan. And two weeks ago i dropped my charge and it broke so I bought a Incredible 2 (3g) off craigslist and had Verizon activate it and I still have my unlimited data plan.
You shouldnt have any problems but if you do you can call verizon and they are still more than willing to set you up with an unlimited data plan (even though they technically cant)

You can get a 100 dollar credit with a trade in to Verizon not sure that is worth it but it comes on a visa card if you want to buy something somewhere else. I am sure you can get maybe 150 on a personal site.

According to DSLReports http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/...Unlimited-Data-Loophole-Exposed-Closed-117668
Those of us who acquired unlimited data though the MHS loophole might be reverted to tiered plans.

But if you see all the people who still have it versus those who lost it...then it can put the internet masses into perspective.
Like I mentioned elsewhere, I see a lack of evidence of people actually being reverted back other than that one article. Maybe he did something stupid like try to switch from a 4G to a 3G device and then lost his unlimited.
My rezound is coming Monday-- my buddy ordered it for me since I'm on his fam plan. He did it all online and claimed there was no choice to keep my unlimited plan from my Droid Incredible. He signed me up the for the 4 gb plan.. Any chance of me getting back my unlimited by going into a store and chatting w/ a sales rep once I have the phone in my hands? Or any other workarounds??

Arent you on grounds to terminate your contract if they do indeed change you ba k ? At end of the day, the csr did notify you about making the change and put unlimited in there knowingly. Its not like you hacked the system and did it. You asked for it, they said sure and you had it.

Someone told me the code in 2008 to get into that website as 3249312 and it has worked ever since. I don't know if it is an employee link because I don't know the company he worked for. I also figured the url embedded the code into it so I just use that now instead of going to the homepage and typing it in manually.
I also used that number with the 800 number one year because I wanted to make sure my plan didn't change but the operators said that the upgrades don't change plans. (Wanted to keep 6 line family plan intact )
Just got an update. That link now has the Sprint Galaxy Note 2 for $249.99 tax free for New and Upgrades. I have been waiting for it but still 50/50 because I know the 3D has a new lease on life due to the AOSP breakthroughs recently from Agrabren and CG.

If you're asking about Edge, you keep it. What Verizon will do is they'll split the retail price of the phone into 12 payments, then you make a payment each month until it's paid off, then the phone is yours. No need to renew your contract or trade in your phone.
But enough about Edge, this isn't the place to discuss that

No, you have to hand it in... It's not really a consumer friendly thing. Just makes it look like it. T-Mobile are the only ones doing it right. With Edge you pay installments for you device and still have to pay the Verizon plan pricing setup to be profitable when handing out subsidized phones.
But back to topic, our phones are not that inferior to the HTC One. Actually only the CPU is older. Barely. Other then the sexy aluminium body and smaller screen, the phones are very similar. Well I guess the One has an IR blaster too.
I really want a One. I love my DNA but the One is just so sexy.

Although the 1st is just a rumour can't say its been proven false till the 1st. Also a Google search reveals like 20 plus tech sites saying the same thing... I'd say believe it at this point.

That is great news! I've been obsessing about this phone for months so at this point you could tell me it sprouted ears and a tail and I'd be ready to believe you lol. Sorry if this is asking too many questions -but I'm a woman and need details- did those employees state that the phone would hit shelves that day or just be ready for pre-order? Any word of a press announcement happening a day in advance or day of? If they are launching it Thursday and not making a big deal of it I want to make sure I'm there bright and early (or on the website) to get one! Any word of it being in red? Feeeeeed my HTC One hungerrrrrrrr :laugh:

They tweeted it a few hours ago
So Who all's gonna jump on this new upgrade option titled "edge". I'm just curious what everyone thinks. I see both positives and negatives to both sides.
I'm going to with our next upgrade. It's expensive but I figure a new insured phone each year is worth it.

Nah....
I did it for the HTC One. Going to try it out. Paying 25bucks a month, I can either trade it in later or pay it off and keep it. To me, its no different than buying the phone outright and then selling it for half value.
Now if you have an upgrade available and can do the upgrade shuffle to keep unlimited, I would do that instead. But I'm being impatient.
Oh, and it let me keep unlimited.

Wait, WHAT? The advertisements specifically said only family share plans were eligible for Edge?!

I did the exact same thing. Enrolled in Edge, bought the HTC One, and kept unlimited. And I wasn't eligible for an upgrade on this line until November 2014.
Here is the link, I'm surprised it's not getting more attention:

I upgrade on average once a year, maybe twice depending on what Samsung puts out. I usually get phones about a month or so after they come out off swappa or craigslist for about half the price of new. I used an upgrade to get the S3, then upgraded to the Note 2 about 3 months later. I sold the S3 for 450 and got the Note for 375. When the S4 came out, people were trying to trade straight across for the note 2. I could have "upgraded" but chose to stick with the note. So I figure it would cost me less to continue doing my upgrades as I have then it would be to go with edge. Phone companies are never working for you, its always about making money. We will see how good edge really is.
Seems like a ripoff

"Seems like"...?
I would like to raise that to a more definative "It is a ripoff".
I'm getting it right now to see if I like this phone instead of shelling out $200-300. If I don't like it, it goes back and the out of pocket is minimal. I'll probably get the Note 3.

it does seem like a rip off BUT if you can upgrade up to twice a year and keep unlimited data.
those are both pluses in my book. yes it will cost you more but its only money.

No biggy. If you could keep unlimited it it wouldn't be such a bad deal. As is though you are painting Dame price for service and also paying basically for a phone hag you just turn back into verizon for no credit and then buy more. It's a win win for them here...

Hell no! To loose unlimited is like loosing the right to have Internet on your phone. You might as well have a dummy phone or flip phone.

The only one that is truly a good deal is Tmobiles Jump program. It's 10 dollars and that includes full insurance. So basically you end up not paying much extra to upgrade every 6 months. Plus, you don't have to have your phone half paid for. The only downside... It's t-mobile service. Otherwise, you are paying a lot more with Verizon edge.

I might try this out with the Note 3
