In the past my wife has upgraded her phone via my upgrade as she has an unlimited grandfather plan. I use a flip phone with no data plan. I would then take her old phone by switching numbers via our computer and use it for a month or so (paying the data plan rate)...then after a month or so I would go back to my old flip phone and since it wasn't a smart phone, they would not charge me for a data plan.
A Costco rep says that Verizon has done away with that capability...anyone know for sure?
thanks

i'm not sure what you are asking

IF asking about the wife upgrading and keeping her Unlimited plan
the answer is NO


if asking about temporarily switching to and using an old smart phone on your line and then switching back
that should still work

For the last several years my wife with her unlimited data plan has been on a month to month. Each time she needs (or thinks she does) a new phone I would use my upgrade and get the phone she wanted, but then I would have a data plan of 2gb...when we would get home, I would take her old smart phone and the new one under my number and switch them via computer...so now I would have the old smart phone and she would have the new one...after about a month I determined I really didn't need or use a smart phone do I switched the old smart phone of hers that I was using back to my flip phone and the data plan went away. It is now time (in her mind to upgrade again)...hence the question.
