verizon vs sprint data use

[cowboyfan723]

i use 2.5 3gb a month on sprint. thinking of moving to verizon for coverage. after reading thru this forum though i am wondering how much more i will use with lte. can anyone advise or has anyone made the same move? good bad? more expensive less? thanks

No more unlimited data on Verizon. You would have to move to the tiered $50/mo plan, as $30 now only gives 2 gb/month

I just made the move from Sprint to Verizon. On sprint i was using about 1 to 1.5 gig a month. After a month on Verizon i find myself using the same amount of data. Everyone kept saying i would use so much more data on Verizon because of the LTE network. I just don;t find that to be the case for me. The data i do use is better and faster but i don't use more. But it really depends on if you think your habits will change due to the faster and better network. Are you going to start using more streaming services like netflix or pandora? Only you can tell what you are going to do.
As far as price if you think you will stay under 3gigs a month you can get the 2 gig plan for $30 and then pay the extra $10 for the extra gig you go over and that will save you $10 a month vs the $50 5 gig plan.

Data is the same, it is the amount of time you spend on the phone. At first you will most likely spend more time playing around with phone and wanting to test out the speeds. After that it usually goes to normal.

I was offered the unlimited data plan on Verizon but can't seem to pull the trigger. Still got a bad taste from my first time around with them. Plus I'm in 3g area so I would be throttled even if I was unlimited, no?

Really? Mind sharing how you got that "offer"? Verizon does still offer unlimited data for prepaid customers with smartphones, though I believe its only for 3G, not 4G phones.

how ya get unlimited share

There's no way I could go without unlimited data. I'm on my phone constantly and would be going over every month.

I know someone who works at Verizon and knows the codes. But the throttling would still occur so its a no go.
