You could always upgrade the battery in your OG RAZR to a Maxx. I did it myself on mine.

The only way to keep your unlimited data is to 1) purchase a phone at full price through Verizon or a Verizon dealer or 2) Purchase a used-phone off ebay.
When I upgraded from my X2 to my OG RAZR MAXX, I purchased it off of eBay. Therefore, I was able to keep my unlimited data.
Then, when my RAZR MAXX battery decided to start swelling up, I took it into a Verizon dealer and they went ahead and swapped it out under warranty (even though it wasn't under warranty) and they replaced it with a RAZR HD. I still have my unlimited data and the HD I received was able to have it's bootloader unlocked, so I made out like a bandit.
I was really surprised that they swapped it out under warranty. I had told them it was out of warranty when I first came in and I just wanted to see what my options where. When the manager came out and looked at the phone, he said "replace it under warranty". I told him it was out of warranty and he said, "no problem. We'll replace it under warranty.".
Now that's customer service! :good:

I want to start by saying I work for Verizon wireless tech support so trust me I know I made the right choice. I just want to thank all of the devs for their hard work but my time here has ended. I have just received my Samsung Epic 4g Touch which blows dust on the X2 in every way. Why?.. For sure to get official ICS update, 1gig of ram with 16gig internal memory, bigger better display(4.52), cheaper plans and unlimited data usage with great 4g coverage. I only paid $79 including phone and wireless bluetooth earbuds and unlocked bl!! Screen is gorgeous and super fast!! You can get the same deal at letstalk.com.. If you decide to go through letstalk.com then pm me to get the $25 off and $25 credit for me!!

You have unlimited data right now.. but not for long.. trust me. Sprint has jus recently put 4g towers in my area(augusta, ga) which is on par with Verizon so why not save $50 a month!! Verizon does have excellent service but Sprint is catching up fast!! My contract doesn't end til january so if sprint let's me down I have 30 days to send it back and cancel service..

I have unlimited data with Verizon and will keep it since I have been with them so long it was grandfathered in. But I have to admit Verizon is pissing me off with the bootloader and giving people crap about why we activate our phones so much. They know we are sbfing the damn thing.

I live in the western portion of North Carolina and Sprint service here is terrible. When I had Sprint, while in town where service was supposed to be "best" my calls would drop like crazy. I could go into a store and service would go away completely. I had the same issue with AT&T. By far Verizon has the better network in my area. It's sad that we cannot get our BL unlocked but I remain hopeful. As per price, VZW is costly but people keep paying them so I'm sure they don't plan to change that anytime soon.
I used to work as a Verizon tech support agent with Verizon Online DSL which sucked hard. I had nothing to do with the phones, unfortunately. But yeah, I have been considering moving to sprint, but, alas, the Verizon Galaxy Nexus is just beyond the horizon for me. I must have it. I will soon leave this phone and forum and enjoy the freedom of an unlocked bootloader like I once had with my Samsung Fascinate. Oh how I miss that phone. But oh well. Its GNex for me.

Around here, unless you live in a bigger city Sprint in Northern Indiana has really no coverage. Hell where I'm at Verizon barely has any, either. But then again neither does the Death Star or any other carrier. This area is a black hole for cellular signal. Although VZW is a little more costly as far as coverage you can't beat it. Now hardware on the other hand...
The other reason I left Sprint was because when I was married and the wife went on vacation to Maine several times a year Sprint had no coverage. Imagine my surprise when they tell me that I have an $800 bill because the signal was bouncing off Canadian towers. Granted from where her father lived I could throw a stone and hit Canada,she was still on US soil. Hence the other reason i switched
Sprint was the first carrier I ever had. The reception sucked and I had horrible service. I since moved through carriers and settled in with Verizon since I rarely go through patches where I lose service.
I too still receive the unlimited data since having the plan for so long. I have some friends and family who remain on Sprint and honestly, all I hear them do is complain. Perhaps they're chronic complainers, I don't know or perhaps its the area they use the phone in, but I don't hear many good things despite being in a fairly metropolitan area.
I also receive a 25% discount on the plan and accessories so that helps keep me a loyal customer. If they get rid of unlimited data, I'd possibly consider but so far Verizon seems to be the better of the two evils for me.
Im no legal wizard but I firmly believe if they changed all of us who are grandfathered in it would be breach of contract. We renewed our contracts and they decide to change it? Not only would I go elsewhere but id tell them where to shove their early termination fee. At $250 per month Id better be getting unlimited!

Doubtful that it would be breach of contract because they reserve the right to adjust as necessary. They litter their contracts with jargon and other nonsense so normal people have no interest to actually read it word for word and simply put their trust in them.
They simply adjust what needs to be adjusted and use whatever clause is in the contract that states they can make changes as necessary for the betterment of the network and its users. Even if that means throttling the highest data usage customers.
Chances are though they wouldn't out right get rid of it and force us all onto limited data contracts. They'd completely do away with it if they wanted and when it came time for renewing the contract, it simply would not be an option. I wouldn't worry about this happening though.

Are you happy with your page plus service? Do they really use the verizon towers? Thats what I have been told. I am looking into switching to them. There is a company near my home in NH that will unlock phones and you can get any service on them. I am seriously considereing it......But am a little leerey about it...I need my phone for work and home so I must have good service. They told me it would be $100-150 to unlock my 4G phone. They are not 100%sure they can do it yet, so if they can;t theres no charge.
I was thinking of just getting a regular used 3g smartphone on craigslist and setting it up with pageplus...just to see how the service is, before cancelling verizon.....sound like a good idea or a bad one?
Thanks

Honestly have not a clue. I just figure they knew people would sell them since it's "limited edition." So it would be kinda dumb if you had to be an employee.

I would put my money on that in their databases when you activate it that it just shows up like a regular maxx and doesn't look special at all on their end. Just like the R2-D2 DROID 2 I had showed up as a regular DROID 2 on my account.

I'm pretty sure it will run on pageplus. They use Verizon's system so the coverage and service would be the same. As long as the esn is good on it.

Whats needs to be done to the phone before attempting to activate on PagePlus?
basically just filled out the account stuff here: http://www.pagepluscellular.com/Online Store/Activate.aspx
once that was done I had the activate phone thing come up and dial out with verizons horrid music..
But I bought mine used lil over a month ago, from cowboom for 150$. (might not be a great deal, but was with AT&T before, 2g towers locally = max of about 150MB used a month, and miserable lol)

You are using a Droid x2 on Page Plus Cellular? I've been looking to go prepaid but most prepaid networks that allow you to bring in other carrier's phones (the X2 is Verizon's) require that it be a GSM phone so you can use the new carriers SIM card. The X2 is a CDMA phone, and they don't make a GSM version. I'm curious how you got it working, because Verizon is driving me nuts and I'm looking to switch.
---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------
I did a ton of research on trying to bring my X2 to a prepaid network, and on all the networks I checked it couldn't be done. Then again I've never heard of Page Plus so maybe they can. I looked at Simple Mobile, Boost, and Straight Talk and they all require a GSM phone if you want to bring in your own.
page plus resell only verizon services. so cdma only.

I think your phone has to be rooted for this to work
I'm on page plus too. Root isn't needed nor any flashing involved. Just activate on their site or call in. Doesn't even need clear esn.

Definitely has to have a clean esn in order for any vzw device to be on PagePlus.
I gave my X2 to my roommate so he could set it up with page plus. He's coming from straight talk. They couldn't get the X2 to activate. Do you guys think the problem could be from the X2 or more likely from somewhere else?

I have the newer droid maxx that came out the end of 2013. I am not sure why but its using a ton of data. The is is using over 200mb a day. I am wondering if rooting the phone will help. Since Verizon doesn't have unlimited data anymore all the date I can save will be very helpful. Also if there is s guide for rooting this phone that I could be pointed to that would be very helpful.
Have you went to data usage in settings to see what apps are using all the data? Do you have a lot of apps on auto update from play store?
This is a maxx, not maxxhd?

I have an app that show whats using data and OS Services are using the most and that doesn't seem right. The phone is just called Droid Maxx it replaced the HD. I was hoping that someone had info if rooting the phone would help with the data usage and also how could Verizon react to that being done. I wanted to make sure they had no way to know that it was done. I had an S4 that I rooted but that was on Sprint and it already had unlimited data.
