Want to upgrade from my Razr Maxx to the Droid Turbo . . . but . . .

Verizon tier two support told me it will work initially, but once the servers catch up it will bump you to the 2GB nationwide calling plan and you'll lose unlimited. He said even if you keep data on the dumb line it will flagi the upgrade as belonging on the dumb line and that will trigger the lost plan after about a few weeks.

I have a great insider there and I've kept contact info for him. He's said that I can call anytime and ask another tech to send him an email and he'll call me back. He was probably the most knowledgeable I've ever talked to from Verizon in 20 years.

I'm not saying he's right or wrong but I'd rather not chance it.

The Best Buy method no longer works? Even if it did, not sure how one would go about swapping out a sim card with the non-removeable battery/back.

I think sim cards are the one thing that need to be removable and easy to get to since the line is attached to your sim and not your 4G phone
 
Wait for droid turbo to come to best buy.

Or add a line with tiered data and continue to swap upgrades and resell devices in pristine condition to cover your new 360 a year cost.

There was a rumor that the unlimited data could drop off on the next bill cycle but I haven't seen any reports of that happening when transferring an upgrade from an unlimited line to a tiered data line (for future upgrades since adding the line you'd be eligible immediately).

Just wait until root is confirmed, buy one from swappa. But you're taking the risk that you may only have access to a model with unrootable lollipop. But I'm sure there will be some for sale...

Also slickdeals.net is the place with the most confirmed reports of upgrading without losing unlimited
