Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
I have Truely Unlimited plan with Verizon, the one that is not available any longer. I also HAVE a Ellipsis hot spot devise that I want to switch outfit a better device. BUT, when I go into Verizon to get a new device they tell me they HAVE to change my plan in order to activate it which of course I don't want to do and loose my truly unlimited plan. One of the Verizon people said I might be able to buy a device on Amazon and then call Verizon myself and have it activated without losing my plan. I know, call and ask them is what some will answer with but when I called and complained that the local Verizon shop said they had to change my plan the person on the phone said, oh no, they can do it and I will call the store closest to you and tell them so, which he said he did. But when I went into the store again I was once again told no. So I would rather hear it from someone that maybe HAS done this with successfully before I spend a couple hundred dollars on a device to only find out it won't work. Thanks in advance
I've switched both Verizon and AT&T hotspot deices by just buying the new device on eBay, etc., and then swapping the SIM from the original device to the new device. No calls to the carriers were needed...
Someone is feeding you a line of B.S. We replaced our hot-spot at a Verizon corporate store and absolutely nothing was said about our prepaid unlimited plan.

Thanks everyone, I went to a Authorized Verizon store, a actual Verizon store and a Best Buy and they all told me the same thing. But with that said I will probably do as suggested and also check with Technomadia and do as also mentioned and buy a unit and switch the sim card. I imagine buying one off Amazon would give the same result as Ebay, yes?
We had the battery to sweal up in our Elipes. I went to Verizon and got same song. Went to Best Buy and bought the 8800l outright. Put our Sim in and all is well.
