Legacy Unlimited Data

Droid4Life

http://money.cnn.com/2012/05/16/technology/verizon-unlimited-data-plan/index.htm

Been doing some reading and finding out Verizon it going to pull the rug out from those that have been the most faithful to their company. Those that have helped it become the largest 4G network and best rated customer service mobile phone company out there. Is this how we get rewarded? Is this what we should expect from a company I feel I was at least a drop in the bucket of filling some share holders pockets?

Please tell me it ain't so and that this is just some CFO talking out of turn. Tell me he is bean counting and one of those that does not worry or care about the little person. I might be able to live with that since it means there might be a glimmer of hope that, we that have been there the longest, will continue to be treated as a member of a good and customer oriented company not some one to help them buy their next car.

This all might seem a little harsh but in today's economic times, the gas prices I have to pay to get to work every day, and how I had to leave broadcast television because it was getting out of control. Now I have to worry about not going over my limit so that I do not have to pay extra.

Really? Did you not see the other existing threads on the main page? Search the community before starting a new discussion.

Thank you for you opinion Ann and your insight. Yet I feel I can and should be able to post what I want as I see fit. You do have the option of not reading new ones if you so desire. I can only hope that along with this change to the data limits it has not affected the storage limits of this community forum. But then maybe you know something I do not. That is always a possibility.

To a point. When you joined the forum, you agreed to abide by certain rules (the Terms of Service) which most people don't read, but just click agree and move on to post their question, thoughts, complaint... whatever. Still, you agreed to abide by the forum rules, and when posts move into areas that break those rules (by discussing topics that are off-limits, or personally attacking another user, or using foul language, etc) the moderators and admins step in.

So yes, you can post what you want,as you see fit, within the parameters laid out in the TOS. And we all have the option to read it or not!

Well then, thank goodness I have not broken "(the Terms of Service)" agreement.

As a matter of fact Suzy, I would like to bring into question how Ann commented on my comment. I had been looking at all the other threads in regards to my concern. The reason I did not join in on those conversations was that, for the most part, they started off with good intentions but, regrettably, turning childish and lacked the point I was trying to get across to Verizon (if they ever read these).

As I read those, I saw that Ann had made comments on many a individuals topic and progressively got more and more hostile in her wording. Now I am not one to worry about such trivial opinions and from what I could see in those topics, neither did anyone else (worry about what Ann was suggesting).

Maybe, as a Community Leader (CL), she might want to look into the leading part and not so much into the dictating as to how people are not doing as she would like to see. If, indeed, I was the third or fourth person to bring up the same topic, all be it in our own individual way, then it must obviously be a sore spot for many others.

I don't know? Just a thought.

Also I would like to point out that, as I saw in the other postings, this thread has gotten grossly off topic. If only we could stay focused on the issues and not wander off worrying about how the issue was brought up. Oh well I tried.

Well here's the short story, the shared data plans are suppose to be here sometime during the summer. Once that's in effect those of us who still have the unlimited data are going to be forced off of those and onto the current tiered data plans WHEN WE UPGRADE.

Now instead of being rude to one another i think we can discuss this like mature people.

I for one am a bit disappointed in this. I know that are some people who this is enough for them to switch carriers. To me ever since i upgraded my home internet i rarely go over 1gb of mobile data. But i know that not everyone is in the same boat as i am.

Hi Ann154. Off and on, for the last several days, when I select the Galaxy Nexus thread, it brings up all the different Verizon Android smartphones in one thread.........Just thought someone at Verizon would want to know.

I am on wi-fi all the time, at home and at work, so I'm consuming about .3 gigs of data per month. I just think it's wrong to promise a client free unlimited data and then take it away from them because there's a way to make more money on data. My contract is up at the end of the year and will weigh my options.

"I am on wi-fi all the time, at home and at work, so I'm consuming about .3 gigs of data per month. "

Same here. I am on wi-fi at work and at home. I use between .2 and .3 gigs of data per month. I realize that not everyone has wi-fi at their disposal, but for me, I've never come close to using up 1 gig let alone 2.

For me, this is a non-issue. I usually don't try watch my usage at all and when I am away from wi-fi, don't go out of my way to conserve data, and I still have never gone over .3 gigs. I do check it at the end of the billing cycle. Now I don't watch movies on the phone or stream music 24/7, so maybe that has something to do with it. I use my phone plenty though and this won't affect me.

Even if it did, going to AT&T with their legendary dead spots and dropped calls, or some fly-by-night outfit that promises the moon but delivers nothing but hassles isn't an option either.

I'll tell you what irks me more than tiered data, and that would be paying Verizon a $30 "upgrade fee" to buy a new phone. However, since I usually keep my phones for several years, this won't affect me as much as the guy or gal who has to have a new phone every 3 to 6 months. For them, every time a cool new phone is released, they're like "I need, I want, I must have..." These are very valuable customers to Verizon because they continue to pay out the nose. YMMV.
