Downgrading from current family plan...how does that effect my unlimited data?

[Xander Crews]

We currently have a family plan with two lines.
My line has unlimited data for my Rezound, and my wife's line has no data as she has a dumb phone.

A friend has said they would give her their old smart phone and she may take it, but doesn't want to pay the additional $30 for data on her line. So she is looking at other providers. I don't think we could add the phone to our Verizon plan anyway as it is an LG-something phone from T-Mobile.

My question is... if she leaves our family plan, how will that effect me and my unlimited data? Obviously I won't need a family plan anymore, so can I downgrade to a plan for a single line and still keep my unlimited data? I'm only about 5 months into a 2-year contract. Her line is not currently under contract.

Just looking for some options.
Also... any decent providers that would allow for a T-Mobile smart phone to be used on their network?

Thanks!

Surely someone knows how this works...?

Sounds like if the account is in your name and your phone is the primarily line, then you could keep your unlimited data, but no guarantees.

Nice find...thanks!

Hopefully that is still the case. I'll have to go to the Verizon store and talk to them about it...or call I guess.

Please let us know what happens. My wife's contract is up next month and mine is up next year. If what you're doing is an option I may do it with her line depending on the cost.
