Well that's the question. Can you somehow then swap the numbers over so you can keep your old one?

What is your ACTUAL usage? Most people don't come anywhere close to their data limit...
I'm sure if you bumped your plan up a bit then you'd have enough data. In reality, just how much data do you think your car will need? You're really ever in it when you're driving, right? When driving, all I can see data being used for would be navigation and Pandora (or similar app), neither of which take up extreme amounts of data.

Hey Giya, the ZHP is looking good! Looking forward to hearing how you like the AVIN II.

This is possible???
I don't imagine it would be feasable for those interested in doing it though, considering you'll have a "new" number.

It is possible, but yeah, need to take their number. My dad has the line and could sell it, for example.

Actually, the scenario you've described is realistic only for average users. I have a 5Gb plan and I almost always use it up completely. That includes being on wifi at home and work.

My issue is that I watch a fair amount of YouTube and listen to sound cloud. Facebook and Instagram also take a toll. I'm always trying to find hot spots, it sucks.

Derek has an unlimited plan with vzw and he blows through nearly 20Gb per month, which is probably where I would be.

The reason I bring this up is because my soon to be new avin android deck will have a wifi feature so I could use my smart phone as a hot spot while I'm driving. This is a good option for using Google maps and listening to new tracks on soundcloud.

Alternatively, I just had this idea, I could potentially take over someone's unlimited plan and attach it to a USB wireless dingle from Verizon. Then I will have a hot spot for my smartphone phone and the deck.

Hmmmmm :-)

The users on the unlimited data plan on Verizon are being watched at this point. I remember seeing something somewhere (I don't remember where) stating that Verizon will slow down the speeds of users on the unlimited plan that use more than a certain amount of data a month. That's not worth it to me; the speed is one of the reasons I love Verizon.

I have unlimited but watch my usage because of this.

That's a valid point. It's a safe assumption that Verizon is looking to squash all unlimited plans out of existence. One for network performance and two to make more money. I'm thinking of going to 10Gb plan but damn, $80 per month is a ton of money, even with a 20% discount I get through work.

One for more money and two to make more money. FTFY*

I already pay that; thought that was normal!

That's only data though, there's also voice. Ultimately, I'd really like to keep my bill at or under $100/mo.
