Re: unlimited data and pre-order of galaxy iii @ best buy
The best thing to do is to email Verizon so that you get an answer in writing. See the reply I received below:
"Good Evening Will,
My name is Samantha and I hope you are doing well. I can understand your concern about changes being made to our data packages as I am sure you are very happy with your current unlimited data feature. I can confirm that if you preorder your device before June 28, 2012 you will be able to keep your current plan."
While I was waiting for them to respond to my email, I chatted with a VZ rep, and when I was done chatting it let me email the transcript to myself so now I have double proof. here is the relevent part of our convo:
William: Hi Aaron, I preordered the Samsung Galaxy S3 on June 6th, with an expected delivery date of July 9th.
William: I currently have a grandfathered unlimited data plan, and want to make sure that I am safe to keep it due to the fact that the new data plans go into effect prior to my estimated delivery date.
Aaron: I will be happy to assist you today, William.
Aaron: Let me look into this situation for you.
William: Thank you
Aaron: I appreciate your cooperation
Aaron: Good news, since you had to choose a plan to go along with the upgrade, your unlimited data will stay on your line!
William: Excellent, I had read that online but wanted written confirmation.
Aaron: You are not upgrading after the date in which the plans change.
Aaron: Absolutely understand!
William: So the date of my upgrade is 6/6 rather than the date I actually activate, correct?
Aaron: Yes, the date your ordered the phone is the date that you upgrade.
William: Ok. Is this chat saved in notes or anything linked to my account? and do you have a rep number i can have?
Aaron: I have also noted your account of what we spoke of and asked for confirmation from my supervisor.
Aaron: xxxxxxxx
William: Ok great, and the notes say that your suppervisor confirmed what you told me, correct?
Aaron: Yes, I have noted that I check with my superior.
William: Ok, thanks for your help Aaron.
Hope that these two pieces give you all some piece of mind!
