Adding lines to AC1 Plan PRL question.

[TH]

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

I have the last AC1 plan marketed in January where you get the $59.99 500
min family share plan for 2 lines. If I add a line to this plan now, can
it still be under the AC 1 PRL, or will Verizon add it as an AC 2 PRL.
Worse yet, will they require all lines to be updated to the AC2 PRL if I add
a new line?

Did you ask VZW? No, huh. The new line would have to be under the new
promotion; to marry it to any of your other lines will require them to give
up the grandfather. You may find someone willing to "pull" the old codes;
but the vanilla answer is yes: you WILL have to move all the lines to AC2.

Unfortunately, I think that's true. Also, since the AC1
isn't offered any more, you can't move up or down in
AC1 minutes either.

Various people over time have stated that VZW has plans available that
aren't listed on their Website. More recently, some people have stated that
VZW would continue to have AC1 plans available (upon request) for some time
to come.

Bottom line: We're all just speculating. The only way to get the real answer
is to contact VZW CS. Since it's a known fact that different CS reps give
different answers, it's worth several tries until one gets the answer one
wants.

I did. I'm wasn't speculating. You could have too in less
time than it took to post. CS said the AC1 plan that I got
on 1/6/05 is no longer offered.

You didn't bother to read what I wrote, and you offered *one* answer from
*one* CS rep. Various reports here and at http://www.howardforums.com have
stated that different CS reps give different answers. Therefore, unless you
tried several of them, you don't have anything except on answer that may--or
may not be--correct!

Next time, you'll appear less foolish if you bother to actually read what
others have written before responding!

Oh. I'm sorry. I went back and actually read what you posted.

You are obviously making a tongue-in-cheek statement, but the reality is
that you should feel foolish for making the claim that you made.

It's clear that various VZW CS reps give various answers, and that the
answer you received may or may not be the correct one. If you really think
that your *one* experience outweighs those of *many* others, then you
*really* should feel foolish!

Well, actually it was three but I am just one person.
Should I count your posts as some of those "*many* others"?

by the way, have you called yet?

I'll believe that... it was superseded on 1/15 by the new FS plan.

I don't need to call. I'm quite pleased with the four-phone Family Share
plan I have. However, if I *wanted* to make a change, and I received an
answer from a VZR CS rep that I didn't like, then I would certainly call
again. I have done that in similar situations in the past, and I've found
that it's typical for a company's CS reps to provide a variety of answers.

I see. Thank you for your very pointed and specific
information. I've read it all very carefully and will file

Another tongue-in-cheek statement. If you *really* cared about changing,
then you would make more calls. Obviously, you *don't* care!

I just received, today in Wichita, Kansas, in my statement an advertisement
(the code in the lower right corner is ADDLO205 750879) advertising "The New
America's Choice Family Share Plans" Which looks like AC1 since in the fine
print is states "Roaming 69 cents per minute".
