And where are these old sims? Like I asked a few pages back, what older phones (like my Droid X) have them? I thought Verizon never had such things because it wasn't GSM.

I just spoke with a rep to see if I could read the terms and conditions regarding losing unlimited data when you use your upgrade that has unlimited data. She said (after about an hour or so of her digging for the information) , along with the terms and conditions, that the change from unlimited data to a 2gb plan happens when you activate that specific device on your line with unlimited data. So all you have to do is get the phone at the subsidized price, sell it for 650-680 on ebay/craigslist/swappa then buy the phone for full retail. Boom, you have kept your unlimited data this has to do with the esn that is specific to the device tied in with your upgrade being activated on your line with unlimited data.

You would have to buy it online I assume, where it doesn't come activated. I am interesting to hear if anyone has done this though.So how does that work? Every time I have used an upgrade they put it on my account right then and I have to sign a new contract and all that. I mean when you use the upgrade you have to re-up on the contract so I am not sure how this works.

I wonder if Verizon isn't waiting until next summer since that is 2 years since the killing of upgrades on unlimited accounts. At that time no one with unlimited data will have a contract so then I guess with no contract they can do whatever they want. All the customer can do is leave and I wonder really what percentage would leave over that?
I have a Note 2 and still have over 23 months left on my contract with unlimited data

A contract doesnt mean they wont end your data man, it just means they dont hold you to that contract if they end it. If verizon changes a contract all you get is the option to leave without etf which is the same option off contract customers already have.
Do you think the Galaxy Note 2 is worth giving up unlimited data? I can only imagine how much data I would be using with this phone. I could imagine being limited. I couldn't see myself paying ful price to keep unlimited data going. Sprint nor Tmobile have LTE in my area.
Has anyone found a way around being pushed into the upgrade? I also found it obnoxious that they are charging a $30 upgrade fee and giving me a $50 upgrade discount at the same time lol.
It isn't the same prompt. That one you got I think is only for upgrading/new lines, but the actual part about unlimited to shared data I think is part of the agreement in the terms & conditions you 'sign' while getting the contract price. I would expect it to change automatically later and not instantly. In other words, I think you just lost your unlimited data.

I have 3 total lines - 2 with unlimited data and a 3rd with w/o a data plan. Fortunately, the 2 secondary lines are eligible for upgrade, but my primary line is not (nor would I upgrade on it and lose my unlimited data). So I placed my pre-order for one of the secondary lines, knowing that I will lose unlimited data on that line (my roommates who uses less than 1 GB a month and isn't interested in having new phones). After activating the Note 2 on his line I will then have is switched over to me, giving him my Galaxy Nexus and selling his Thunderbolt. Win-Win! :highfive:
I do have two question though...
1) Do I have to leave the Note 2 activated on the secondary line for a specific amount of time before switching it over to me, or I can activate it and then wait 5 minutes to switch it over to me?
2) Also, is it just as simple as switching out our SIM cards as we both currently have 4G phones?
cant you transfer the upgrade to a different line then just switch phones? Without messing up the plans?
