I just got my bill. No mention of UDP rate being raised.
It has to be after 11/15 however if there is no warning of an impending increase on the first page of the bill I think you are good.

I haven't looked at my bill, but there is a pop-up notification if you log into verizonwireless. It doesn't appear the pop-ups were hitting everyone at the same time.
My 10/21 bill had the warning.

I just got the bill increase pop up on the Verizon website....as soon as I logged in.

Since it's coming at different times, I'm assuming it's triggered some way related to the billing cycle, maybe 35 days in advance or something.

Alright guys. Let's get this thread back to the topic of the fee increase.

You've had plenty of time to go back and forth on the pros & cons of trying the workaround to get a new device.

You have to make the decision on your own whether it's worth the risk(s) at this point.
It is in my opinion more about how to delay the increase in the UD fee by getting yourself back on contract before the increase takes effect.
Not how to get a new device.

Agreed.

Friendly reminder, the topic of the thread is the price increase. That's all that should be discussed here.

Workarounds & loopholes to keep UDP or the way people use their plans cause arguments that won't be tolerated at Droid Forums.

We pride ourselves on having a friendly & respectful membership. Please don't let us down.

Just FYI: I talked to my local Verizon store today and they pulled up my account and my bill will definitely increase on the next one. For me that would be December 1st, the next bill due after November 15th. Unless my line is still on a contract. Your results may vary, but my bill is going up. Decisions...decisions.

My bill will go up $10.01 with the 20% discount from work. Not to bad.

Not sure how you're figuring a 20% discount lowers the price from $20 to $10.01.... Is that that new "fuzzy math" logic?

I think he meant that he will be paying $10.01more... $23.99 + 10.01 = $44 total.

But the math still isn't working with 20% discount on the 49.99 new udp rate plus 9.99 line charge, it should be $47.98 with the 20% discount.

I'd stick with Verizon's math. You'll save an additional $3.98.
