My current Grandfathered plan has 2 phone lines. no changes allowed. If you drop the line and then later want to re add it, you may not be able too.

Why would you try to sell it? Just upgrade. 

Since it is a truly unlimited plan, some one working from the road may find it of benefit. The new unlimited plans have caveats and limitations on the term "unlimited"  Not having intentions of full timing, it MAY not be that much of a limitation to me, However, the 700 minutes of talk time is becoming one, especially with the egregious rate for going over.

How much does your plan cost?

About 200 for 2 lines

I use a Bostich CAP1512.  12 amps, small. fairly quiet. Pressure tops out at 150psi, cut in is above 110psi so it keeps putting air in when I need 95 psi for the rear duals. Usually 20-30 seconds per tire of run time tops up a tire.

We still have an old plan and use it, but Verizon has really locked it down. If we go over our allocated 700 minutes of talk time, Its $1.00 a minute!!! (currently fighting that, it was .10 per minute)  Also, they will not let us add any more devices, so no Jet pack, tablets etc, just our phones. And the new Note 9 can't even be used as a hotspot no changes to the plan.  So the question is, Is there a way to sell the old plan to someone that can use it and we'll just get a fresh one? Or should we just bite the bullet and upgrade to a new limited data "unlimited plan"?  I'm thinking with 5G coming, it's not going to make much difference in the near future.

I decided to upgrade to a Note 9. Problem I have now is I cannot turn off the USB Debugging on the Note. (or at least I cannot find a way to do it.).

I too have this problem with my Note9. My wifes Note 8 still allows it to be used with PdaNet. The 9 wants a fee. Haven't found a work around yet.

We just returned to Alabama from a trip to WA state. Ours is a 35' class A with a 300hp Cat C7. Our traveling weight is about 26K. We took I94/90 going to WA and I84/80 coming back across the rockies. Most of the time we cruised at 63/64mph. in the climbing sections it was 5th gear, approx 2000 rpm and 55mph. One short grade had us at about 50mph in 4th gear for a short section. We didn't have a toad. Next time we are towing the Jeep. I was very happy with our performance. As you can see we were not working the engine hard at all. I'm interested to see what the changes will be with the jeep being towed.  What I really liked though, was the Engine brake and retarder on the descents. Nice control. 

PDA Net works on the Galaxy Note8 and my understanding is it does not show up as tethered data.  Using the new phones with that feature built in do track it. June fabrics recently released an update that works. It has a slightly more convoluted log in.

look at the Moto G8 phone.

We'll take a look.

The one good thing about the GUDPs were the court ruled many years ago that Verizon couldn't restrict how data was used on those. (as long as it was not unlawful use) one of the reasons Verizon is trying to eliminate them and force users to the new, more regulated plans.

Does anyone stream the majority of their TV watching?  What amount of data does that use per hour?

The original (grandfathered) UDPs are not subject to throttling, nor limits on hotspot tethering (with the paid-for hotspot feature).

So if it's USB tethered or running through an external wifi modem it's not detectable?

Quote

The new limited "unlimited" plans, including the 75 GB, are subject to network management plus after 20 GB of tethering your speeds drop to 600 kbps until your billing cycle resets.

The rep was trying to tell me they throttle the old plans now as well, I hadn't experienced that, but our high traffic rarely exceeds 8gb as we are weekenders, and don't stream television through it.  If you stream video through a usb to hdmi or some other physical converter, is it detectable?

MKC, Thanks for the info link, I'll check them out.

Is there an advantage to keeping the old grand fathered unlimited data plan vs getting the new 75gb plan?

Have any of you upgrade and regretted it?

The rep tells me they throttle both of them anyway. We haven't started long term travel yet (it's just around the corner), so we haven't gotten to the limit yet.

2nd question; I have heard of people selling their old unlimited data plans, anybody know how this is accomplished?

Thanks for the help

Just got back from the Austin City Limits Music Festival. Stayed at a campground in Downtown Austin near Zilker park. Minimum 5 nights, $100 per night. It was a 12 minute walk to the Festival entrance.

The next closest was about 7 miles away, $30 or $35 per night, if I remember correctly, but almost an hour commute during rush hour and $30 to park near the festival entrance.

My daughter went last year, stayed in a Motel 6, about 4 miles away, and the 3 nights she stayed cost as much as our spot rental for 5 nights. Plus she either had to drive in or take a taxi.

Yes it was spendy, but in the wear and tear vs aggravation, not a bad trade off.

But it'll be a few years before I do it again. LOL
