Verizon customers: Did they make you take limited data when you upgraded your phone?

[trmiv]

I stole my mother-in-laws upgrade (we pay for her phone service), and gave her one of my old phones, so I got to keep unlimited. Of course now my wife wants an S4, and wants to steal my upgrade, so I may be out unlimited data because I'll never hear the end of it otherwise! I may go to the 6gb share everything if that happens. My wife rarely uses over 300mb a month, and my MIL barely uses 100. So I'd have around 5.6GB left for me. I've never gone over 2GB since I have wifi access so often so I'd be good.

There are a few options to keep unlimited plans

1.Buy a new phone and put your sim in it,in a few hours you will get a feature change email and when you log on to my Verizon it will show you new device automatically.

2.If you are on a family plan like I am for instance with 4 smart phone lines(3 unlimted grandfatherd),a reg phone and a tablet 2gb line you can transfer an upgrade to a 2gb line and start a new 2 year on that 2g line and then swap sims and get the phone that way.

3.Is a gamble and might not be worth it and might be worth it if you don't have a 2gb line on your account.Add a new line to the account and get the gs4 that way and then downgrade that line to a dummy line but still keep it a 2 year contract dummy line at 9.99/month
