I am looking for options to upgrade an existing Droid to the new iPhone4s. Currently we have a family plan sharing 1400 minutes, and the Droid is paying the $30 for unlimited data plus $10 line fee. If I want to upgrade to the new iPhone4s, can I keep using the same family share plan with the same cost? 30 + 10. Or am I forced to use share everything plan. I tried it pretending to get a new iPhone4s, the recommended package for 1 smartphone and 1 share data is $100 dollars! This was way more than before getting at 39.99 minute plan + $30 data plan (70 dollar total). Any advice?

Thanks,

Tom

  If you do a subsidized upgrade on Verizon's (or anyone else's) site, you will lose your unlimited data plan, and have to either go to the Family Share Everything plan, or pay for an individual data plane for that line, which would start out at $30.00 for 2GB per month. If you want to keep your unlimited plan, you will need to either pay full price for the phone, or buy something on eBay or somewhere else that you can then activate on the line.

thanks for the response @droid usrr. I will confirm the situation with an in-store rep and see if they have any more options.

  The interesting part about this topic, there are people that are reporting that they are doing an upgrade through Verizon online and they are keeping their unlimited data plan. I would check that out before going to the store.. You may be able to keep it.
