Why is it that the only family plan Verizon has seems to be the Edge plan?

I have a family of 3 any to have 3phones and 6GBs of data cost me over $200.  But the Verizon edge plan with 4 phones and 10GBs is $160.  I think this is idiotic.  All other carriers have a family plan I can customize to my families needs and they are cheaper.  I even tried to switch over to the edge plan and I was not able to. I have been with Verizon for over 10 years but think it may be time to switch.  Tired of feeling like I am getting ripped off.

Edge is PAYMENT plan for people who pay full price for their phones but do not have the money to pay the full amount. At&t's plans are exactly the same. If you're not buying a new phone you don't get to be on Edge. That would be like asking a car dealer if you can make car payments but are not interested in buying a car. Why would you do that? The 4 lines for $160 is not taking into account the phone payments which average around $25 per month so for 4 lines that would be an additional $100 thus making it $260.

Anyway if your current lines are off contract you can get 10 GB for 3 lines for $145. In fact starting today you can get 15 GB for 3 lines or $155 or 30 GB for $175
