Forgive me for being totally out of the loop on Verizon's practices. I haven't had a contract with them for years, ever since they dropped the UDP I have just been buying used phones and activating them on my very old nationwide 450 plan with unlimited data.
I'm at the point financially now where I can afford to just buy a phone, don't need to put it on payments via Edge or the other similar offerings from other companies. I was just going to buy an LG G4 to replace my G2 that I bought from Swappa about a year ago. Funny thing is though, when I go onto VZW website and setup to buy the phone, it shows that they will no longer charge me a data plan charge ($29.99). So my future bill would be dropping considerably, basically enough to cover the cost of the new phone in about about 18 months.
It still lists "Unlimited Web and Email" in my plan features, and shows a total monthly due on the final screen as $30 less now. Is this normally what they now do? Actually makes buying a new phone totally worthwhile.
