Use New-Every-Two on FamilyShare 2nd line?

I currently have a 2-line FamilyShare plan and the contract is up. My
phone is the primary line, and my wife's phone is the second line.
Our two-year contract is up, and we are eligible for the New-Every-Two
discount.

I no longer need my phone. I would like to "downsize" our plan to a
single line, but I'd like to have the single line be my wife's phone
number, and I'd like to use the New-Every-Two to upgrade her phone.

Is this something that VZW is going to allow? Has anyone done
something like this recently? I just worry about the red-tape of
using the New-Every-Two which is probably "attached" to my phone
number, but then telling them that I want to cancel that line.

That shouldn't be a problem. Keep in mind you are signing up for another two
year contract when you get the new phone

My contract was just up and I purchased a new phone on ebay V3c for $100 and
now I dont have to pay $10 more each month for 200 more minutes I dont need.

I'm not following you. If your new phone replaced an existing phone, it
wouldn't cost $10 more per month, but if this is a new phone and additional
number, it would cost an additional $10 per month

What's that got to do with the $10 per month charge that Montano's talking
about?

I have a family share plan, with four phones on it. I pay $10 per month for
each additional phone after the first two. On the VW website it lists all my
phones and the dates at when I can buy new phones (with contracts) at
discounted prices for each of them

The XV-6800 will be replacing the 6700 probably this summer. Essentially
it's the Windows Mobile 6 version of the 6700.

IIRC, the Q won't be replaced with a newer model, it'll have a WM6
firmware upgrade available.

Not necessarily. See below.

NE2 gets you $50 or $100, depending on the amount of your monthly
service.

How to Get It

You are automatically enrolled in our New Every Two program when you
sign up for a two-year agreement on a calling plan with a monthly
access of $34.99 or higher. If you maintain service on a calling plan
of $34.99 or higher and fulfill your two-year term, you will qualify
for a free phone. If your calling plan monthly access is $79.99 or
higher for the entire three months prior to completing your New Every
Two phone upgrade, you will get up to $100.00 toward the purchase of
that phone. If your calling plan monthly access was between $34.99 and
$79.98 at any time during the three months prior to completing your
New Every Two phone upgrade, you will get up to $50.00 toward the
purchase of that phone. When completing your New Every Two upgrade,
you will need to renew your agreement for another two years on a
calling plan with a monthly access of $34.99 or higher.

You must retain the same wireless handset for 24 months in order to
receive the full advantages of this program. If you choose to replace
your handset at a discounted price, you will forfeit your benefits and
be automatically reenrolled if you meet the requirements of the
program.
