So I'm not the primary line on a Family Plan, and online it shows the primary line with the NE2 status, but the other lines will just say "Eligible for an upgrade on XX/XX/XXXX". Does anyone know if that will change anything in terms of my upgrading price or any eligibilities for the Incredible?
 
Can NE2 and regular upgrades in family plans be transferred to different lines in the family plan?

No, the time periods are specific to each line/#. What I would do is if I wasn't currently up for an upgrade, just have one of my parents who are eligible, get the phone and then instead activate it for my number.

Are you eligible for an upgrade after a year on a two year contract?

Yes, if you're on a line that has an access cost of $34.99 or higher, you will be eligible for an Early Upgrade at 12 months, which if used in a store, with customer service or telesales will cost you an additional $20 fee over the two year price on a phone, ordering from the VZW online store will let you avoid that $20 fee.
