Unlimited Data is back

[Ry]

May want to add that for Sprint it requires you to be a new customer.

From their site "Reqs ebill and new account."

Will update

 

[Lodingi]

You're already a customer. They're already getting your money.

Well then I guess I won't be switching.

The 10 does go towards the 22, yes.

This is why it's so confusing, I asked today via a message, and here is the response.

To the carrier, that's fine.

 

[Lodingi]

To the carrier, that's fine.

As it is with me.

 

[ITDEFX]

Is the reason why all of a sudden UNLIMITED is back is because they bought more air?

Updated chart with better info from Verizon:



Data is $110 (not $100 for 4 or more) for 2 or more lines and lines access is always $20 per line.

Oh wow so the 10 GB doesn't count towards it according to them ... Didn't know that .

 

[Ry]

I'm being told that tablet line would get 22GB before possible de-prioritization but adding a MiFi line would only get 10GB then throttled to 3G speeds.

That would make some sense since the MiFi is a hotspot and they limit those to 10 GB.

Might as well get a tablet and use it as a hotspot when needed.

So it costs $180 for 3 lines at AT&T and they won't credit the $40 for the forth line till you add it. FK you AT&T. I am switching to Verizon for sure now after 15 years on Saturday.

AT&T is way more expensive and they don't care about the customer obviously. Here is the breakdown.

AT&T

First line, $100.
Second line, $140
Third Line, $180,
Fourth Line, $220 till the $40 credit back in 2-3 months starts.
5th line, $220
Sixth Line, $260
No Tethering

Verizon:

First Line $80 + 20 line access minus autopay = $100
Second line, $120
Third Line, $140
Fourth Line, $160
5th line, $180
Sixth Line, $200
Tethering included

Your Verizon math is wrong.

First line [65 Account Access + 20 Line - 5 Autopay] = $80
Second line [110 Account Access + 20 Line 1 + 20 Line 2 - 10 Auto Pay] = $140
Third line [110 Account Access + 20 Line 1 + 20 Line 2 + 20 Line 3 - 10 Auto Pay] = $160

Not true on Verizon. I switched over a MiFi line and it's unlimited. I wouldn't pay $20 for the line if it was only 10gb.

 

[anon(9898026)]

I switched from them to Verizon several months ago. Regret that I did not do it sooner. AT&T was horrible service for us and horrible customer service reps (at least those I dealt with).

I'm highly considering doing the same thing. Att has shown they could care less if I'm a customer and the customer service is lousy now. Used to be much better

Verizon is running some phone promos now for porting in, a lot of free phones

I have a MiFi line too.. I've already burned thru 22GB, and I am seeing no throttling at all.
