    So the day of release I paid full retail price to get my Maxx HD and keep my unlimited plan.
    Today I decided to get one for my 2nd line and expected to pay full retail. ( I have 4 lines, 2 smart phones and 2 basic)
    The rep told me she could use the upgrade from one of my basic lines to get the Maxx HD at the discounted price and keep my unlimited plan. Sweet!
    Then I asked about the phone I just got. She let me return it (on paper) then sell it back to me at the discounted price. + a $35 restocking fee. Double sweet! :)

    She was great. She went out of her way to help me figure out how to keep my unlimited plan and get the phones at the upgraded price. :)

    She told me she could have done it the same way if I also added another line. So if I only had two smart phones, I could have added a new 3rd and a 4th line. I wouldn't have save as much since I would be paying $10 a month for each line.

    I paid full retail price for mine too. I kept my data plan, and in my existing plan, I will be eligible for an upgrade in 9 months. In that time I'm sure something else will come out, and if it smokes the Razor Max HD, I will be able to get it at the discount price:)

    How is it possible to get an upgrade, pay discounted price and still retain unlimited plan?? I didn't think this was possible. If so, I will need to share this info with my Verizon guy Jose who is selling me my phone this week.

    I didn't think so either. But she made it work. I doubled check my account online and both smartphones are on a two year contract and both still have unlimited data. ;)
    She said having the other two basic lines made it easy for her to move things around.

    The only way, so far, is if you have to have more than one line and an eligible upgrade that can be used on a tiered line.
    *Place the eligible upgrade on the limited tiered line,
    *get the new subsidized phone on that limited tiered line's upgrade,
    *very important-activate the new phone on the limited tiered line to update the contract for that line (because it is a tiered line, the upgrade does not cause you to choose a tiered package for that line).
    *once the contract is updated on the tiered line, you can put the new phone on any line you want, including your unlimited lines.

    Can anyone confirm if I can do this with an online purchase? I have a basic line that is eligable for an upgrade and would like to upgrade the basic phone line with the Maxx HD then move as you are suggesting. And I'd like to take advantage of the Amazon price. :)

    I heard that phones bought online through companies such as Amazon charge a fee if the phone gets transferred to a different line.

    Yep. Pretty spot on. I think you have to leave the phone on that line for 180 days with Amazon or they give you an ETF of their own
