Can you share your opinion? I'm debating if it's worth giving up my unlimited data plan with Verizon to get a new phone at the subsidized price. I'm not using too much data now, but always liked knowing I could if needed. It may be worth losing unlimited and I'm trying to figure out the best way to maximize my situation - I've read Verizon will offer special unadvertised plans to get grandfathered customers to switch/upgrade. Here's what I'm paying now:
Grandfathered Nationwide plan, off-contract:
Data = $30/mo for Unlimited
Voice = $60/mo for 900 minutes
Text = $5/mo for 250 texts
TOTAL = $95/mo for a single line (no family plan)
Verizon has loyalty plans (for grandfathered customers) which supposedly increases the data on their $60 Single Line plan to 2GB (instead of the standard 1GB), with unlimited voice and text. That would save me $35/mo compared to now, plus get me a phone subsidy. How much is the cost of additional data per GB if I go over?
Also, I've also heard about a "Verizon Max" plan with 6GB data, which would also get me a subsidy. What's the catch? How much would I pay total when I add in the voice and text? Is this plan worth it?
Additionally, my girlfriend is off-contract and eligible for an upgrade with Verizon. We were thinking about doing the BOGO deal for the new Galaxy S5 and signing new contracts. If we have separate accounts can we take advantage of the BOGO deal?
Sorry if this is confusing - I'm dying to upgrade from my old Bionic and trying to save some cash along the way. I've read rumors that Verizon could end unlimited anyway after June so I figure now may be a good time to get a new deal. Any info or advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
