Subsidy with VZ

Hi Guys. Hope you can help me out. I have 3 phone lines with VZ and have 2 lines upgradable. One my main phone, I have unlimited data. So I went and spoke to a VZ rep @ a VZ store and wanted to upgrade with the other phone line and have the new phone then switched over to the line w/ unlimited data (I did this last May with no issues). However, this time around the rep told me that if I did that VZ will eliminate my unlimited data. I then went to tell him that I did this last year and that there weren't any issues....he went to explain to me that VZ is now tracking serial #s of the phone because they've caught onto people doing this.

So hopefully you guys can chime in and provide me some info. Is this true about the "serial #" tracking. I obviously do not want to lose my unlimited data.... any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks.

You can upgrade one of the lines without unlimited data then use the subsided phone on your line, this would not change your plan...as long as you don't use the upgrade on your line to directly get the subsidized phone you'll be fine
