iPhone 12 for Verizon Grandfathered Unlimited Plan

I think it should work if you paid retail for the phone from the Apple Store (get the Verizon version) and then just used the SIM from your previous phone. But, I don't know for certain.

Have you used Verizon's comparison tool to see if the new plans might actually not be cheaper? I changed my plan last month because of a promotion and the new plan is still unlimited but costing me about three dollars a month less. Yes, I lost some of the international options I had on the old plan but.....that hardly seems to matter right now.

One thing I can tell you is that people who have the iPhone 12 are saying that carriers are no longer giving you the option to manually select 3G.

Have you consider one of the other "carriers" line Tracfone. Walmart sell the cards and it's cheaper than any carrier plan.

Buy an unlocked (carrier free) device from Apple (the only company that sells unlocked devices).

I pay less than a dollar a day for unlimited data, talk and text and 5GB's of data. Works anywhere in the US.

How your carrier decides to handle your account is up to them. Are you trying to bring your own phone to Verizon, or are you upgrading the phone through Verizon? If upgrading through Verizon and changing your account is one of the requirements, that is up to them. And, if they require you to make changes if you bring your own 5G capable phone to their network, that is their right as well. Nothing anyone here could do about it.

Do you have unlimited data? Or 5GBs? If the later, is that 5GB a month or a day?

I just wrote down what was on the card.

It mentions Unlimited in big text but rereading it it is 5GB's of data per cycle (28 days, it seems). They sell larger plans for more money but I've never used all of the 5GB's.

If the Verizon Stores were open I'd suggest you go in and float the whole scenario to someone. You have to be careful who you talk to, though, because, mostly, they're all young folks under tremendous pressure to meet various sales quotas. It's not like the days when I worked there and there were non-sales people who just did customer service.

Best of luck

Ah! Thank you for clarifying.
