Keeping unlimited data, already bought phone and desperately trying to figure out what to do nextf

Ok so here's what's happened so far.

I have 4 lines, line#1 with unlimited data on droid 4, line #2 with an iphone 4, line #3 with an iphone 4s, and line #4 with a feature phone.

I use the upgrade from line #2 at costco today to purchase an LG G3,using the upgrade/subsidy.

I then came home and put my sim card from my droid 4 in the LG G3. line #1's phone number seemed to load fine.

Then I went on verizon website and reactivated the iphone 4 on line #2. When I made this change, it asked me if I wanted to purchase insurance or decline, and that I had to make a decision now. Before today I had insurance on lines #1(droid4) and line #(iphone4s), but not iphone 4. I said yes, since I'm trying to end up with insurance on the new G3. Then it asked me to make changes to my account, nothing involving the unlimited data, but it transferred all the new 4g codes to 3g(since there is no sim or 4g on iphone 4) and it changed $10.00 advanced android to 8.18 iphone for the insurance. So I believe i know have insurance on the iphone 4, the 4s, and the droid 4.

The verizon website now shows Droid 4 active on line #1, and iphone 4 active on line #2.

TL: DR
#1 Does anyone know if this is going to work, or is verizon going to take my unlimited data away from me.

#2 Does anyone know if there is any way for me to end up with asurion insurance on the lg G3 and have the G3 end up on line #1 w/ unlimited data?

any help would be much appreciated, I'm big on commenting on phandroid articles, and I've been reading the forums but this is my first time reaching out on the forums for help.

UPDATE:
It took about 45 minutes to update but myverizon now shows, line #1 lg g3 w/unlimited data, line #2 iphone 4 w/ 2gb data. So if this all holds steady, the only thing I need to get working is to figure if there is anyway to buy insurance on the lg g3.
UPDATE #2: So it seems line #1 showing the lg g3 still has a $5.18 protection plan showing now I'm not sure if this would actually cover my G3 or still pertains to the old droid 4, since as far as I can tell both would cost the same per month (the $10 they had on line#2 before I believe was including the stupid verizon tech support+insurance thing). line #2 is showing the $8.18 iphone insurance price(hey I may have just accidentally discovered a way to enroll an ancient phone in insurance, or committed insurance fraud or something).

So does anyone have any idea how to find out what insurance is which what phone? without having to alert verizon to what I am trying to do?
 
You should be able to call Verizon to get the insurance on the phone. I did that with my S5 earlier this year.

The change that Verizon made in August was to stop people from upgrading an additional line to a smart phone then take the smartphone off that additional line and replace it with a feature phone with no data plan. Since the line you upgraded has a smartphone already it should not be an issue as your're keeping the data plan on the upgraded line.

I actually had a Verizon rep on the phone activate my S5 on my unlimited line and then add the insurance with him. I even told him I was making sure I wanted to keep my UDP and he was more than helpful. I hope this helps.
 
That's good to know it worked for you. That's kind of what I thought. Although Verizon is so inconsistent, I'm terrified to speak with them on the record. I even did an online chat with customer service from an incognito window logged out of my verizon(when I tried to do it from a regular window, they remembered me from previous chat, even though I was logged out of my verizon. The rep basically got confused and told me it should be ok but made no promises. I think I'm just going till wait until I get bill on the 12th, and see if all looks right, since I bought new phone on 18th, I should have 6 days to work it out after getting bill. The weird thing is I somehow added insurance on the 2.5 year old iphone 4 that never had insurance too.
 
I have a Note 3 and got stuck with a two year contract with Verizon. Is there any way to get out of the contract and switch to another carrier?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but it looked like maybe you could help.

You need to be more specific with what you mean by stuck? And you should probably start a new thread since this is a different topic and not the right place to post (Main verizon forum would be better). But I will mention that T-Mobile will pay your Early Termination Fees, and buy your Note 3(for not a lot of money, but something).
