Big Red Family Data Plans?

[macman4]

Any insight on Verzon, tiered family data plans. I have 5 smartphones on the family plan, all paying 29.99 each for unlimited data, but we only use less than 2 gig of data combined. Thats about $150 a month for less than 2 gigs of data. I would love for them to come out with family shared data plans, I believe I could save some $$$$$.

It would be nice but doubt that it will ever be an option. My wife and mother-in-law only use facebook app and an occasional google search. I really don't need to worry about it -- for now anyway -- since im on Sprint.

Holy crap less than 2 gbs for 5 phones? Verizon will allow you to share data, however you wont be able get a plan for less than $30 a month.

I have to ask, does everyone in your family use the phone for things besides email, because verizon has an email option without getting a data plan....

New customers will be subject to the following prices: 2GB for $30/month, 5GB for $50/month, and 10GB for $80/month

We could have surmised that the change would happen on July 7th, as that's when Family Plan customers will be able to share their data packages

Verizon confirms the switch to tiered data in July - Phone Arena
