Verizon Wireless is overhauling its voice and data plans
Basically put, these plans suck something awful and I'm done with them once my current contract is up.
*From the Article*
Under the new pricing structure, a smartphone customer opting for the cheapest data bucket, 1 gigabyte (GB), will pay $90 before taxes and fees ($40 for a phone "access" fee and $50 for 1 GB). Customers can also add a basic call-only phone, laptop and tablet to share their data allotment for $30, $20 and $10, respectively.
•Unlimited data customer: If you're one of a dwindling number of customers who retained the grandfathered the $30-a-month unlimited data plan, you will be asked if you ever choose to upgrade to select either a "Share Everything" plan or a tiered pricing plan. Verizon dropped the unlimited plans for new customers last year.
Existing customers may move to the new plans without paying a fee or extending their contract. "We are not going to force migrate customers to these plans," says Tami Erwin, Verizon Wireless' chief marketing officer.

What a bunch of liars.. Not forcing us onto this garbage. $50 for 1GB and $100 for 10GB?
