So now I'm totally confused and I apologzie if this was covered somwhere else. I am not sure what a "subsidized" phone is. Let me try and explain it in my own words.1 of 3 things:

a. Buy a phone through Verizon (hopefully for free after rebates etc..) and pay $30 acctivation fee for a new 2 year contract and keep my unlimited data plan.

b. pay full price for a phone and keep the unlimited plan.

c. buy a new/used/refurbished phone from an outside source (ebay etc...) and keep the unlimited plan

If a is untrue why did the rep in the online chat tell me:

If you use your daughter's upgrade you can get a new phone and keep your unlimited data?
