Vzw hates that you have unlimited data

[anon(3653)]

Moosc has it correct about the 20gb plan. I would pay outright before spending $150 a month on data.

My wife and I are on a family plan. I just got the RAZR M and moved to the 2gb data while my wife still has unlimited. Only the line using the upgrade has to give up the unlimited data on a family plan.

Thanks I may have to check into that. I think we could do 20gb. My data will probably go down next year, but I suspect still probably 10gb+. We drive a truck which is why I use so much. Next year sonetime I will be going solo and have less time for net.
Thanks for the info on the 20gb plan.

True, we can afford to buy new phones outright it just concerns me that they could cancel us or change their minds on allowing us to stay grandfathered.

I'm leaning staying with Verizon because I like their coverage. We spend $160 now for 1400 minutes and unlimited data on 2 lines. We don't come close to our minutes with friends and admit and m2m. We may just buy outright roll the dice and keep our plan. Adding a tablet or iPad would be nice, but there are ways around having to "add" it to the plan.

Not necessarily. Given the complexities of service pricing, it's pretty difficult to determine why revenues go up or down since there are many factors.

There are many people, myself included, that buy their service for coverage and reliability. Verizon has now and will have the largest amount of nationwide LTE network coverage at the end of 2013 with their whole exisiting 3g footprint covered by it. At that point, they'll probably start filling in additional markets they don't already have, start deploying VoLTE, and start deployment of AWS LTE. This is where Verizon shines and this is why many people will pay them for their service at the rates they offer.

However, they are absolutely smoking something if they think that users like me are going to burn precious tiered data on garbage they were paid to promote and force on to my phone. Given that data speeds exceed DSL and nearly match cable service, data cost per GB should have gone down rather than up. It's quite possible if they had offered more data for each pricing tier, that they might have encouraged their wireless subscribers to use the adware applications that they were paid to deliver users for and give the advertisers value for their money.

It's not that. They're just pretending they donyb

Wow 40gb. We get 17 or 19% discount. I probably would use more, but as ltl drivers we are home 2 days a week. I have no idea how my wife uses so much less data than I do. I do a lot of forums and Facebook. I guess I do upload/download quite a few pics to and from Photobucket and Facebook.

If your wife uses less that 2gb of data then she can get the subsidy and move to a tiered plan. Therefore you would only need to buy one full priced or pre owned phone. Just because she moves from unlimited does not mean you have to.

Secondly... Verizon offers up to 20gb shared plans too.

Not sure this is accurate. If he is currently on a family plan, all lines on the plan automatically get enrolled into the new plan, if a subsidized upgrade is used. I don't think you can pick and choose. Is this correct?

 

[zrxoa1]

No, that is not correct. Current customers can NOT be forced to the share everything plan. Also, if you are on a family plan, the ONLY line that has to go to tiered data is the one using the upgrade and getting phone at subsidized price.

Case in point... I have five lines on my family plan. Two smartphones and three dumbphones. I just used one of the dumbphones upgrades to buy my iPhone 5. That line went to the tiered plan until I removed the iPhone from that line and replaced it with the previous dumbphone. I then put the iPhone on my line. My wife and I still enjoy unlimited data on our two smartphone lines.

Are you able to cancel the data package after the upgrade? This would be an option.

I also told the wife we could open two lines in her name and pay the early fee to save a few $$$.

Yes, dropped the data package. The only evidence that line had an iPhone 5 on it for a few days is the fact that it is under contract for two more years.

Oops. Double post.

I pay $70/month plus taxes and fees for 450 minutes and unlimited data. I use Google Voice for texting and use about half of my minutes. If I had to switch to the share everything plan, the cheapest I could go is $40 for unlimited talk/text and 300 MB of data, plus $40 for one smartphone. It winds up being $10 more for so much less data with the only benefit being able to send MMS.

If I got 1GB for $50, that would be $90/month, or $20 more per month than I'm paying now. I could have just added unlimited texting to my line for that price and still have unlimited data.

The Share Everything plans are definitely a rip off for me personally. If I had to switch to that plan, I'd be switching to T-Mobile.

I get unlimited data at fast 4g speeds

I can't wait to get the Note 2 and enjoy the 4g speeds as much as I want
