I currently have an original Motorola Droid with Verizon and I'm paying $15/month for 150MB data.
I'm tired of the Droid, so today I went to a Verizon store and wanted to buy a new smart phone at full price (Incredible 2) without restarting my contract, but the rep told me I would have to upgrade to the $30/month unlimited data plan if I switched, because my $15/month data plan was a promotion that's not available anymore.
So here's my question - if I buy a new phone on eBay instead of from Verizon, would I be able to switch over to it without having to increase my data plan? I've gotten phones on eBay before and had no trouble switching, but I wonder if this is different - even though technically the phone I have, and the phone I want to switch to, are both smart phones.
