On phones, if you pay the full retail price instead of the subsidized price from Verizon, you can keep your old plan and just upgrade your phone. I'm not 100% positive, but I believe I've heard that you can replace an old phone with a different one purchased elsewhere(as long as it's a Verizon supported phone) and still keep your grandfathered plan. Actually, you can go online and do an MEID transfer yourself which transfers service from your old phone to your new one.
It would seem logical that you could do the same with a MiFi/Jetpack.
It's certainly worth a try. BTW, if you call and don't like the answer you get from Agent A, try calling again and talk to Agent B . . . you'll probably get a different answer!
The "catcher" might be upgrading from 3G to 4G.

I KNOW it works for phones. My Motorola Droid Razr Maxx developed the battery bulge common to that phone. I bought a refurbished Samsung Galaxy S3 off Ebay and did the service switch online. Kept my unlimited data and paid no activation fee.
One problem may be that 4G phones require a SIM while the 3G do not. Would assume it's the same for a Mifi, so that may cause a glitch.
Correct, with phones, you can acquire the phone anywhere and activate it on your Verizon acct and still keep your unlimited data. I bought my Galaxy S4 when a few months old off Craigslist, activated it, and kept my unlimited data.
