If you bring your own device, you will be signing a MONTH TO MONTH contract.
Nice! The rep I spoke to didn't know about this. I chatted again and here is the log below, seems like I'm good! I am about to buy a
cheapo non-smartphone device on Craigslist, add it to my line, have unlimited for both now and be eligible for double-subsidy in August when the GS2 arrives!
LOG:
Deborah: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
You: Hello, I have an existing line with Verizon, can I add an additional line right now and bring in my own phone on a month-to-month basis
You: so i don't use up the phone subsidy
You: which I will use later
Deborah: Yes you sure can add a line and be on month - month.
Deborah: With your own Verizon device.
You: And when a phone that I want comes out (Samsung Galaxy GS2) in August
I will be able to sign a contract for both my line and the new line and both get subsidized phones?
Deborah:
Yes, that is correct.
You:
Are you 100% sure about this? I don't want to end up in a situation where Verizon later says "sorry, phone subsidies are for new customers only"
Deborah:
No, you will be able to get the new 2 yr pricing.
You: What if both my line and the new line get the unlimited data plan -
will they both be able to be grandfathered in when I re-sign?
Deborah: When you say grandfather in are you speaking of a old plan that you have now?
You: yes
Deborah:
Sure,you will be able to grandfather all of your lines in when you get ready
You: Ok great, I just saw this on your leaked plan and wanted to confirm
