According to the OP here and other articles I've seen on the topic, VZW simply said, "next week," not anything specific about the 1st?

The linked Reddit says "New promo launching Friday"

Figured you read something I didn't. I'd already seen a DL article on this when I saw it posted here, so I didn't bother checking the source article in the OP.

Now it's just a waiting game.... we don't have wifi until the 13th, I could use some unlimited data right now...even if it's throttled!

I still also have my UDP with unlimited texts and 450 mins. talk plan, but I've been contemplating in selling it. Just like with others here, I barely use any of my minutes for calling (around 15-20 mins. at most per month). I don't even bother to connect my phone on our wi-fi at home so I average around 25-30 GB of data a month. Although, it would be way below that if I did use the wi-fi, obviously. As for texting, I average around 350-400 a month. So I'm really contemplating selling my account so I don't have to pay around $140 a month for my line.

If you sell it now, you sell your number too.

I think there's a way where I can port my current number to another provider before I sell it, but I haven't looked into that in a long while. I thought about selling my line a couple of years ago too.

I had my Dad on aline that ended contract and he wanted to keep his number. I needed to put him on my extra line. I had a $5/mo phone through PureTalk and ported it to them. Then ported it to my line still on contract. In the end it cost me ~10 to port his number but i was able to do so.

They are often slow to move on tech (although they seem to be doing well with 5G), Like when I was getting 1Mb/s on 3G, while everyone else was getting 10Mb/s on HSPA+, and being able to talk at the same time.
Are you sure you aren't talking about sprint?
I've been with vzw for about 15 years and their tech has been years ahead of competition. If fact I remember when HSPA+ was rolling out on att, I had lte on Thunderbolt and speeds of 40+mbps.
Sounds to me that you limited yourself with 3g phone on Verizon when you could have used lte since beginning of 2011.

You can no longer "sell" your UDP. Regardless of whether you lose the number or not, you can't give, sell or swap an UDP plan any longer because it's associated with the original users name address etc. It's been this way for a couple years now. Unless you want to give a stranger your personal information, you're out of luck.

100% correct. Even if you find a naïve Verizon two who tries to do it believing it can be done, you will find out very quickly that upon attempt to execute that transaction the new owner of the account will immediately be forced onto the tiered pricing plan.

I was thinking it has been that way for awhile now...

I just hope that this little stunt of theirs doesn't somehow mess with the speeds of those of us still on UD. I'm gonna be pissed if my speeds start dropping after a certain number....I need my triple digit UD numbers ea month.
