Here is what i did. I have 2 lines on my account. One is droid x, the second one is droid 2. Both have data plan. I am not eligible to have any of those 2 lines upgrade as of yet. I have been told by salesperson to add another line to my family plan, then switch the TB to the number I want (droid x). I still being left with 3 lines, but since the 3rd one now is not needed, they use a dummy Eime number. It still shows on my account as 3rd number, but it is not a Smartphone, so it not requires a data plan. It is just a line, a phone number that you have to have for next 2 years, and you have to pay for it. Now, let say this line cost me only 9.99, times 48 months, equal $480. Plus taxes. It is well over $500, the cost for full TB price, but.......since I wanted this phone so badly, and I did not have those 500 bucks now, I decided to go this way. Not smart, you'd say - maybe. But I saved over 250 now, and have this bad boy in my pocket!Ok so did your original plans not have data plans? Like you already werent paying the extra $30 for data? and then you got the Thunderbolt with data on one of the lines? or did you have a phone that used data and now you used the upgrade on the new line? i dont understand how this worked out for you without having to pay an extra data fee. From what i understand, if you use a line to upgrade a phone, even if the phone doesnt stay on that line if you move it to another line with data your going to pay for both. Because if you already pay for data and dont have to with the new line after using it for an upgrade please explain how you did it because i really want this phone badly and i refuse to pay $500 for it.
