I have my single grandfathered unlimited data Verizon plan and I'd like to upgrade to a new 4G LTE Device. If I upgrade on my own plan it will result in losing the unlimitted data.
The 2 typical options are either pay full price for the phone or use "Alternate Upgrade" meaning that you use one of your other lines which is eligible for an upgrade. I don't wanna pay full price and I have a single plan so non of those options would work for me.
If I have a friend - who is willing to upgrade one of his lines which already has the new shared data - activate it on the line he upgraded and then deactivate it and give it to me, will I be able to activate it on my account and keep my unlimitted data, or does it have to stay activated on the upgraded line for a certain amount of time?
