We all will eventually that is what I was told by a rep. I personally am holding on to one line with unlimited right now with the others on the 2 gb plan. Hopefully we won't lose it.
A VZW executive told me that it will go away but by natural attrition rather than them pulling the plug.
Every launch of a new phone causes thousands of subscribers to upgrade and lose their unlimited data. Big Red is discouraging sd card slots and large internal storage from manufacturers to encourage more cloud based data use. They want the iPhone model. Not only do they make huge profits on the sale of the popular phone, but with it's almost all wireless data transfer it is a data hog. When AT&T had it exclusively the iPhone would constantly tie up their network. That is why VZW ordered the DNA without sd slot and only 16gb of internal storage. They want to make you get used to using the cloud instead of keeping data on your phone.
The DNA is the type of phone that makes having unlimited data essential.
Verizon won't pull the plug on "grandfathered" unlimited data as long as many of you keep dropping off every day and other carriers continue to offer. Verizon even likes those that don't currently use a lot of data to leave the unlimited plan. It reduces their risk or exposure to potential data hogs even if it costs them a few dollars now. They know as they and other sources continue to offer more and more mobile data, that you can't keep on your phone, your use will increase. I don't use a lot of data (4-5gb and my wife uses less than 1gb) because I spend a lot of time in areas with wifi. But I won't give up my unlimited, if I can help it, because my use is trending up (and if I get that Big, Beautiful GN2 it will go up faster) and I occassionally have 10-20gb months when driving a lot. I don't want to worry about what my data source is (wifi or cellular) because of cost, with unlimited data I can decide on speed and convenience.
Everyone's situation is different but I wouldn't give up unlimited data so easy.
