I could have sworn I read there wasn't a forced plan change. This totally sucks.
She doesn't want or have $600 for a full priced Razr. We are looking at other phones because of this. Anyone have recommendations? She wants a semi-modern phone and would love one with hdmi out but wants to stay under $200 and not lose her plan.

Craigslist.I've been after a coworker to upgrade her phone for a while now. Yesterday her phone took a dive into a pool so she finally relented. Went to Verizon and the saleslady told us all grandfathered unlimited plans must be changed out to upgrade the phone as of June 28.

NiceYeah, I've been on the craigslist train for quite some time now, just gotta sit tight for a deal and be on them listings because they go fast. Just got my girl a maxx for 200 bucks! Pawn shop, didn't care what it was worth, just wanted it gone.

Or if you just need to get her a 4G phone to keep the unlimited, get one of the non flagship LTE phones on the cheap and then tell her to save her pennies til the Razr HD drops or the new Nexus.

The Bionic is still a solid phone and as I said above, just tell her to save her pennies, or succumb to giving up her unlimited.

Or as someone said already. Add a line, swap the phone. (This will drop the data on the new line.)

Upgrade another line on the account if she has one then swap the phone. (She will keep unlimited data this way.)

If you upgrade any line by purchasing a phone through Verizon, you will NOT keep unlimited data. I know there are rumors going around that "as long as you don't change anything on your plan, you can keep your unlimited data." These a completey false. The absolute ONLY ways to avoid losing your unlimited data are to buy FULL RETAIL from Verizon (meaning $600 for a phone) or to buy from a third party site like craigslist.org. That's it.

Are you a Verizon employee? How can you guarantee this?
That's fact. Signing onto a new contract whether you change something or not will take your unlimited data

It's a fact, there's no reason to guarantee it, I do however have some tweets from Verizon Support that I can post if you need actual proof.
Lots of people have had this happen to them. You have to buy a phone at full retail price or buy from craigslist to keep your unlimited data, nothing else will work.

You are incorrect. An alternate upgrade DOES WORK as I did one yesterday.
