Hello Rob Mccart!

It's not offered for existing users though.  So, unless you  
register as a new user (with another number), $29/20GB is not  
an option.

When I go into Change plan, I only see:

$50/100GB
$40/75GB
$35/10GB
$25/500MB

On one of my accounts (I have 4 Lucky accounts) I'm  
grandfathered in at $15/500MB, data only, and I get a 6-payment  
reward of 250MB, and an autotop-up 250MB bonus, for a total  
1GB.  The same $15 plan is nolonger available to anyone.

Which one did you change to?

Yep.. When adjusted my plans, I always optioned to remain on  
the same period and wait for the change to kick in according to  
schedule.

Nope.  That won't work.  If you buy extra, and top up your  
account manually, it will just add to the balance and NOT get  
used if you have the autotop-up (credit card) option selected.

Yup.. they penalize existing users that way.

But I suppose you could use up the balance of the original  
account, or cancel the credit-card topup option for it, and  
then simply port that number over to the second account before  
the first account's billing period ends.

NoName's base GB values are about 5GB higher than at Lucky,  
plus they include the US talk and text too.  Hmmmm.  I might  
switch/port to NoName for my business phone since the US  
calling could be handy at times.

I am not sure what you mean.  On three of my plans, I changed  
from $40/mo to the $29/mo offerings at the time. The existing  
bonuses (6-payment rewards, and 12-payment rewards) all carried  
over too.
