If you are a Verizon customer hoping to upgrade your phone, but hesitant about losing your unlimited data plan, you may want to give some serious consideration to going ahead and pulling the trigger. Like right after you finish reading this article. Inexplicably, the Verizon web site is currently letting customers place orders for upgraded devices, even pre-ordering devices, without requiring users with unlimited data plans to switch over to one of the tiered plans. Several Verizon customers have reported success in placing an order or pre-order for a new device without any apparent impact on their unlimited data plan.
It is not clear why this may be happening. It could be some problem with the Verizon website that their team has not yet been able to correct, assuming they are aware of the issue. It is also not clear what Verizon may do when they discover all the orders for devices with grandfathered unlimited data plans. Hopefully they will honor what the buyers signed up for.
In the meantime, the word is starting to spread around the Internet, so it is only a matter of time before Verizon fixes things. So make haste if this is the right deal for you.
Update – It looks like Verizon has pulled the plug on this deal. Again, we have no idea if Big Red will honor any purchases that happened before they caught the mistake. Hopefully they will do the right thing.
