This is apparently an effort to end a loophole that had previously allowed customers who had a grandfathered unlimited plan to upgrade a line for a feature phone to a new and discounted smartphone. The report claims customers could then move that smartphone over to their grandfathered unlimited line, while still keeping the $9.99 per month feature phone line price tag.</p> <p>Keep in mind that this loophole shutdown has not yet been confirmed by Verizon. The company's customers who still have that old unlimited line can keep it if they get a non-contract phone or if they pay full price for a new smartphone. What do you think of Verizon possibly shutting down this backdoor for its remaining unlimited data users?</p> <p>Source: Droid-Life.com (http://www.droid-life.com/2014/08/10/unlimited-data-users-losing-another-upgrade-workaround-at-verizon-come-august-24/)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-26262"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3d5c409e/sc/28/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
