I just called my old Independent Verizon Wireless dealer and asked about upgrading.(I have one dumb phone and a one smartphone)(both are ok for upgrade) Want to upgrade my old dumb phone to a new smartphone and then move it to my smartphone number with out losing my unlimited data on the orig smartphone number. They said no problem they can do that.
The key part I think is they are independent and not a company store.
I also just called my local Best Buy and was told they could do the same thing.
UPDATE:
I went to Best Buy as they told me they could make the change. Didn't happen... They could not access my Verizon account even after I called Verizon and changed my billing password. Next went to the mall kiosk who is a third party Verizon dealer. He sez Verizon has stopped upgrading allowing what I had wanted Best Buy to do to keep unlimited. And that if Bust Buy had tried my account might have showed ok at first but later would change. He used to do it but it doesn't work anymore. He used to be a manager at the Best Buy at that store and asked who I had talked to. I told him he just rolled his eyes.
Sure glad now I didn't let Best Buy make any changes and later find out I lost my unlimited.
He did have a solution... Upgrade my dumb phone to new smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S4 ($100 with $100 rebate) with new 2Gig contract on it.($30) Then AFTER 14 days I can go and exchange numbers on the phones. And then downgrade the old smartphone on the old dumb account to the old dumb phone and that will cancel the 2 G contract. You must wait over 14 days to do the switch. He said after 14 days they can't stop me from doing that.
So I said go for it... I didn't come home with a new phone as he only had one S4 phone left and found after he was almost done and ready to activate it found it was missing the battery. He had to call Verizon as he couldn't complete the activation of the phone with no battery in it and he couldn't deactivate since it wasn't done activating. Catch 22. Verizon got it back so I had my old dumb phone and will try all this at a later time. Was just worn out by then and went home.
