Are you looking online? A lot of the online stores can only give you a new phone with a plan that's available right now.

I doubt wirefly will let you upgrade without changing your plan.

@myb821
I have a Samsung gusto u360. I'm just not sure if its a prepaid phone, or if it's for postpaid.
Does anybody know?

so i just hung up, and basixcally there are no more grandfather clause any more, in otherwords, even though i have unlimited data for 30$ once verizon started thid this family share plan they discontinued the grandathered unlimited data, and anytime u sign up or even upgrade ur phone or continue another 2 yr contract on an existing line, u have to switch over to the 2gb for 30

also my cousin just informed me that virgin mobile has 4g unlimited data for 35$ a mnth (though only 350 min)

Pretty annoying when companies do that. It's like when Sprint let everyone keep their old plans ..but if they wanted a new phone they could only choose from a handful or switch plans to get a better device.

I wish we had Golan in America.

Just throwing this out there: Verizon's Convoy2 is a worthless piece of garbage with garbage removal being once every 2 weeks.
