verizons new data plans

[hallcp1019]

anyone  else seen the leaks of the new plans  its looking like a minimum of of 30 bucks for 2 gb of data ....really verizon YOUR troubleshooting  asks me to reset my phone with any issues and doing that 2 or 3 times a month eats up that much data trying to put apps back on the phone i dont do a lot of videos or online gaming just general web browsing and im around 6gb every month without trying if this is the case then why stay with verizon when unlimited data was all that they had going for them.

I have seen the new rumored pricing sheet and they are not something I am game for but they are reporting also that users already on unlimited may be Grandfathered into the plan still but of course this means the next upgrade you will loose the plan.  I am going over 6 Gig myself so this will effect me as well..

I am not sure this is true but I figured it was coming, to many bragging about exceeding 30 Gig a month with the illigal methods of tethering..

[hallcp1019]

the thing is i really dont do much heavy data usuage i have no idea that i would be able to stay below 2gb and now with netflix starting which i was looking forward to im sure one movie or a few shows would blow that away ....come on verizon i pay more because you offer more data and better coverage but if you think ill pay 30 more a month you are insane ...

[Wildman]

Will no one really knows what will come from this info but if you do not plan to make any changes to your device or account you should be ok and still be able to keep the plan you are on.....  Guess we just have to wait and see before we will know for sure..

You have to be kidding. $30 for 2 GB? Well, I either go back to a "dumb" cell phone, or, after all these years with Verizon start looking at other carriers. Receiving Email will eat that up in a blink of an eye. Going on the net and browing will eat that up faster than you can say Rip Van Winkle. Does Verizon really want to lose customers, faithful customers at that?

You can check out one of the rumored post for the changes....

The fact that the rumored price for the 2 GB is $30 and higher than AT&T's pricing for the same thing doesn't make me very happy.

The least they could have done was match AT&T's at 2 GB for $25 or undercut it somehow.

So glad I would be grandfathered into the unlimited

[bearone21]

then i guess the best way is to keep the dx/unlimited forever and never renew the contract..

[SteelerFan]

I saw that and my only complaint was the higher price. I do not use that much data per month but do think $30 is excessive for 2 GB. I think  they should have matched AT&T's rates.

I'm still kind of worried being that my contract expired in July of last year...  I guess we will just see how things go.

[Wildman]

I am considering updating my contract on July 15, 2011 for my early upgrade data, I hope this doesnt mean they try to take me off my unlimited plan if the date on this is correct...

Verizon's trackrecord is that you keep the details of your contract until you update the plan/phone etc. Then they will force you to update to the tierd plans.

I would think that it would pretty close to match the tablets data plan which stands at

$20 - 1gb

$35 - 3gb

$50 - 5gb

$80 - 10gb

At least that is my opinion...... do I like it - NOPE...... but it looks like I will not upgrade to a LTE device when my contract is ready to be renewed next year.

My usage is pretty close to 2-3 gb per month. I listen to internet radio most of the day at work (Work doesn't allow us to listen to internet radio or stream anything)

I think it would be silly to run at those rates.  Reason being, you don't have to purchase Phone Minutes for your Tablet.  So since we do for our phones we should get a big break.

[hallcp1019]

exactly of dont mandate a minute plan at all i rarely talk and wouldnt mind paying more for data if i wasnt being reamed on the minutes payout

I agree, but you know Big Red......

Time will tell... I saw somewhere that July 7 is the drop dead rate for new/renewed contracts for no Unlimited Data, and it wasn't an Android gossip site.

Actually, these prices would do what people have been asking for all along. Cutting the price on data for the light users, while raising the price for the heavier users. If I were to make 1 change, I would change $35 for 3GB to $30 for 2GB. Actually, though, if the price of $10/GB of overage holds as rumored, then the price for 2GB on the 1GB plan would in reality be $30.

I wish they structured it to have a $25 plan for 2 GB or less. I am not using anywhere near 2 GB so $5 less would be better. Oh Well.
