Verizon 4g charge for phones

[Raptor007]

Good point Smitty_82.I have been with Verizon for most of the last 15 years and twice I foolishly tried AT&T for "cool" phones only to be let done with service issues and ultimately the phones did not live up to the hype.

I have two MiFi's that are used for our actual daily internet use each with 10GB of data. I get 4-5 bars at my house, maybe 1 with AT&T. Verizon tech support and customer support has always been great and they even allowed a second device exchange which is not the norm. That is what keeps me as a customer.

Raptor007, thanks for the comment. It goes back to picking your carrier first and then the phone, lol I like to point out the good cause all to often, it is the bad that has the loudest voice!

An article when sprint had its network apparently Verizon will also charge the 10 dollars for it.

Link to the supporting article?

I haven't followed verizon 3g plans for some time , since my droid x purchase. Are there 5gb caps in place for newer devices? When netflix comes this year won't it be really easy to go over the data caps if you use your device for movies etc?

Verizon offers two data plans. One is unlimited for $30/month. The other is 150 mb's for $15/month.

If this is indeed true i would be fine paying the 10 for unlimited 4g but i guess we will find out in a few days

I think sprint added 10 on top of the 3g prices.

I understand the current two plans
But wover if they will cap the unlimited at 2gb or 5gb?

If they cap data at 2 or 5 gigs I will move on with lte we can run through that in less than a week

Been with VZW for a long long time now and mark my words, they will definitely charge extra for LTE. Opt-out would be great but I wouldn't count on it.

$40 a month for "unlimited" LTE would be fine with me, just like Sprint's deal. If they set it at 5gb, I wouldn't be worried. I have heard of people going to 10gb on their "unlimited" plans and not being charged a penny extra. We shall see.

sprint currently charges $10 for 4G on the evo so if verizon wants to beat or at least tie sprint they will make their charge $10 or less.

I really see this happening. Verizon is gonna go for the one-two punch by saying their 4G is more-available AND the same price.

I recall an executive at Verizon saying LTE will be tiered, where they will offer max speeds, but lower caps before you get hit with extra charges per 1GB, but if you are willing to take a lower speed on LTE you would get more of a monthly cap.

For example if the top end is 20MB down you might get 2GB per month then $10 per GB after that, or say 5MB down and get 5+ GB of capacity. Who knows some of these execs talk out of their butts half the time.

Verizon just told me no extra charges and 4g was actually 5 dollars cheaper then 3g at moment.
