VzW is changing its wireless plans again, effective August 13, 2015. Note that "All new customers, and existing customers who want to move to the new plan, will buy or upgrade to new smartphones using Verizon’s device payment option, formerly known as Verizon Edge, or by paying the retail price.”

Unfortunately, that appears to have a price increase for line access fees for those currently getting the $25 discount as all smartphone line access fees will now be $20 up from $15 with the $25 monthly discount.
12 GB for $80, though is an improvement over 10 GB for $80. How many people are going to complain Verizon does not automatically change their plan to this new rate???
I still Like my Unlimited course I'm Down to one Line Now.. No 2 lines anymore Guess I can save to buy that new phone at Full price
I see the article states "Current customers can keep their existing plan or move to the new plan, with some restrictions."
Do you happen to know what those restrictions might be?
It may be related to "using Verizon’s device payment option, formerly known as Verizon Edge, or by paying the retail price", but that's just a guess. Usually existing customers are allowed to switch to new plans without any issues/consequences; this time it may require that you're out of contract and then enter into a device payment plan or pay full retail. Hopefully that will be clarified once the plans go into effect.
Oh, I was wondering about a current customer with a completely paid for device and month to month service, no 2 year contract. Sorry I didn't specify. I'm sure they will clarify that stuff on the 13th. I was just getting ahead of myself.
I'm curious as well what "with some restrictions" will entail. The monthly line access fee for a basic phone also isn't mentioned in the press release.
This does not seem like a good deal at all.
First the S - M - L - XL are too small to fit those definitions. I am ok with small as minimal 1 GB, but M should be more around 5 GB, L around 10 GB, and XL 15 or even 20 GB.
The continued $15/GB overage is disappointing.
If I was on the 10 GB plan with 2 tablets, and 3 smartphones, that would cost $145 with More Everything, but goes up to $160 on the new plan
With my actual current plan of 30 GB, 2 tablets, and 3 smartphones at $185, I'll be hanging on to that as long as I can until something better comes along.
Other than killing off contracts a disappointment. We will need to be adding 1 additional smartphone in the next several months, I wonder if I should add it now so I am not forced to change plans when I add it later. It will be a BYOD device. Any advice?
I would rather keep the $25 per line discount (at least while I am still paying for the 3 phones). Is that what "Current customers can keep their existing plan or move to the new plan, with some restrictions" means?

We have three out of contract lines, and one contract line (contract ends in April 2016) .... with 2GB shared data. We could move to 3GB for $5 less than the $50, I'm currently paying $20 for each basic phone and $25 for my out of contract line. That would drop, but I don't see the $40 access for the in contract line dropping to $20 until it's out of contract... so our net would actually be the same cost, and we'd have an extra GB of data to share. If they drop the cost of the basic lines, we'd save. My billing cycle ends on the 21st; I'll see what additional info pops up but I think I'll be changing plans very soon!!!

That's why I said what I did earlier ... I'm wondering if one of the "some restrictions" for existing customers is that you can't switch to the new plan until all the lines on your account are out of contract.
Sounds as if there are plenty of good scenarios with this and a handful of bad ones. Lots of numbers crunching to do for some folks!
So right now, I'm paying $175 for 5 lines and 15GB of data (5 x $15/smartphone + $100 for data). Under the new plan that I saw, I'll now be paying $325 for the same amount of data (5 x $20/smartphone + 5 x $45/3gig data).
How is this an improvement?
It doesn't work that way. The data is shared, so it is $45 for 3 GB data shared among all lines on the account.
The closest to your current is the XL plan - 5 phones x $20 for access, and $80 for 12 GB data shared.
$180 total.
So for you $5 more and 3 GB less data.
I knew that the $25 discount would go away eventually. That wasn't going to stay forever.
That XL Plan is crap. I have a 30GB data plan and I struggle to keep my family UNDER 30GB every month. We would blow through that 12GB in no time.
I can't wait to see what these board will look like next week as people try to upgrade.
Who wants to take bets? We will see....
Why do I have to change my plan to get a new phone?
Why do I have to pay a monthly payment?
Why can't I get a phone for $200?
I said that the 2yr contract option would be gone by the end of this year. This will be fun.
I hope they either lower the Prepaid plan costs or increase the data. There are a couple instances where being postpaid might actually be less or near to even as prepaid.
Thanks Verizon, I'll be taking my 6 lines elsewhere.
They'll all end up like this. They always do.
I have 5 lines: 2 basic + 3 smartphones. I'm not on Edge or More Everything and pay $232/month. What will my plan look like after August 13th? I see Verizon's chat is down too. It would be nice to have a plan comparison prior to the change.
Your plan will remain exactly the same unless you decide to make any changes
My son and I share 3 GB on a plan and pay $132 a month. Just upgraded our smartphones in June, my son has a 2 yr contract and mine is on the Edge program. We got screwed around so much during the upgrade, was quoted an amount 3 times and then found out that our monthly bill was actually going to to higher. Wonder how this new contract stuff will change my bill? Not looking forward to dealing with customer service again!
You will not need to change. In fact, since your son is on a 2 year contract he can't change until his contract is up. When you can change, the cost for service for 2 smartphones and 3GB data will be $85. The payment for any new phones you get will be in addition to above. Phones from now on will be full cost divided into 24 monthly payments and separate from cell service.
It's a good thing I buy my phones at full price anyway. No way do I want to give up my 30 GBS for $130 a month And my $15 line fees.
My service is free and I use both smoke signals to speak to neighbors & tin cans & string. The only problem I run into is when the county has a burn ban which means I can only use the tin cans and string until the feral cats & squirrels start messing around. All in all, I'm happy. (This is a joke intended to make people laugh or smile, my apologies to people that have a hard time detecting humor and/or sarcasm)
I Don't think we'll be using smoke signals in the tinderbox called Califoria.
Ouch! Good point!! I wish we actually had a better and more enforced burn ban here. My neighbor tried to choke us all out yesterday with what smelled like burning industrial toxicants!
I'm sure after the 13th when these new prices take effect we are gonna see the forums "on fire" with complaints and questions.
Yes, I bet. When people finally find out there is no such thing as a 99 cent phone.
I Like that part, I think the charges didnt make any moves to be more competitive in the higher data ranges though. If I wanted to switch, it would be much more expensive.
Yes, I definitely agree there too. I believe their higher data plans could have been more generous. That is where I see lots of complaints forthcoming. (Myself, I will never be able to afford anything beyond their absolute lowest tier of data :smileysad:)

According to this article: Verizon kills off service contracts, smartphone subsidies - CNET
"Once the plans go into effect, customers on current More Everything plans can switch to the new options to take advantage of the additional data. But if a customer is on a contract, the person would have to continue paying $40 for the access fee until the contract is up. At that point, Verizon will automatically take them down to $20."
Still no mention of the monthly access fee for basic phones in that article, nor have any articles I've seen to-date mentioned how customers on older plans such as the Nationwides will be addressed.
The press release does have the sentence "Current customers can keep their existing plan or move to the new plan, with some restrictions." that could indicate customers who still have a Nationwide Plan would be unaffected. I'm not entirely convinced with so little information.
So, anyone know what this means for existing customers with UDP?
Yes the article and many of the posts above state what occurs to those of us on grandfathered plans if you read them.
I am not sure if anyone can answer this, but does that mean customers with a current Edge discount of $25 will lose the discount on August 13th (since we are technically not under contract)? I have one member of my family who is eligible for an upgrade and was going to go the Edge route since its a $25 line discount and the monthly cost of the phone is $27. I was encouraging them to wait a month or two to get a newer phone. However, it sounds like it would make more financial sense for them to go ahead and get the new phone before August 13th, so that they can get a $25 a month line discount, provided they would get to keep it after the new plans roll out.
All I know is this: I'm on a contract. I pay about $55/month for 1 GB, including insurance on the phone (I have a bundle discount from FiOS as well). When the contract's over, I'll bet dollars to donuts I'll still be paying about $55/month, but I'll also have to shell out $400 to $600 for a new phone. That sucks.
I have no problem at all with the subsidies. There is very little difference between these two scenarios:
1) I'm on a contract. I pay $55/month. I decide to leave. I pay an early termination fee.
2) I'm not on a contract. I pay $55/month. I decide to leave. I pay the balance of the cost of the phone.Either way, I'm paying to leave, but in the first scenario, I didn't have to pay for the phone.
It's all smoke and mirrors.
true since you were always paying full price for the phone anyway.

How do you know this? If you aren't under contract, then there is no guaranteed price.
@Weth: I was, but I didn't mind!
@Snn5: I don't for sure. But they're advertising $30 for 1GB + $20 for access. I think if they start getting people to buy $600 phones and then jack up the rates again and again, people will not stick around long.
i'm on the 15gb plan with 10 lines, so unless the XXL(15gb) plan is $50 it's gonna cost me more. I could get by with the XL plan but that is still a $30 increase. Hopefully they'll let us stay our current plans and be able to use payment plans in the future.
Verizon still believes that most users use only ~2GB more or less a month and each "Family Plan" (no longer a thing) or account will have 4 or less lines. I believe this is why they have introduced these lower allotments and decreased the line charge. $160 right there for 4 lines getting 3GB each. I suppose the extra 1GB is more than enough for some, but nothing near whats needed for others. The larger plans will be available, however they will not be advertised, and only shown on available data plan pages online.
Yea. Just VZ marketing Im afraid Have a feeling when all is said and done you will be paying as much or more for your phone bill as you were . You will still be under contract for the new phone you upgraded to and those wont be cheap. They'll figure out how to make it up charging more for other services
I like the Google FI project with the Nexus 6 phone. $20 a month unlimited calls and texts phone communicates on wifi only $10 a month for 1GB data but its prorated if you use less data then 1GB you get charged less. Its only available with 2 other carriers but I love the idea
The key is to not be in a contract and not finance your phones either. With the end of 2 year contracts and discounted phones, there won't be any commitment to cell carriers anymore. In theory, this should create more competition and lower service costs.
i Don't know how Verizon is expecting to "spin" the new plan to make it alluring to new customers. It raises the cost of the plan for 4 lines by $20.

I have done some research and to the best of my knowledge we will be able to see whatever plans we have and upgrade using the DPP.
On contract the price is guaranteed for the plan you signed up for, as long as you keep that plan, because that's what was agreed to. Off contract, the price can be changed at anytime, albeit with prior notice because...there's no agreement past the present month of service.
Here's the thing. Cell phone plans and other options are not going to be cheaper as time goes on. Companies are out to make money on the consumer, not say hey let's give them a break. I loved seeing some of the old timers on the forum discuss the pros and cons, for they are true. And if changes to your account don't match up to your family financially you have every right to switch carriers. But now it seems like they are becoming within a stones throw from each other and you have to ask will I pay more money for reliable service rather than superior service. My work verizon cell is fine. My personal tmobile cell is fine, and I'm in the burbs. Pays to do research. And I have unlimited data on my tmobile.

How do the new plans effect customers still on unlimited plans? The simplest and most reliable method to keep unlimited data is purchasing a phone outright for full price. Most if not all installment plans don't allow you to keep unlimited data.
So, an unlimited customer can buy a phone outright and keep their plan. Or pay full price for a a phone through a one time payment or installments plus fees to qualify for a more expensive plan?
There is this ominous statement: We can and will change you to a more expensive and/ or restrictive plan. While we a required to notify you we hope you won't notice until it's too late to make changes. Any and all terms and conditions are designed to increase revenue and profits by charging customers more.
Or as Verizon words it: "Current customers can keep their existing plan or move to the new plan, with some restrictions."
I think larger plans are available. They are not advertised, you have to call.
Yeah, only way I will change is if they will offer me a higher plan than what I already have, that I got a year ago this time, 30 GB for $130.00....not as good as the unlimited but close, still saving $95 a month on this plan and using every bit of data with 4 smarts and 2 tabs and the tabs are stricly wifi, I need close to 60 or a 100 Gb and then I can add a couple more freinds that are begging to be with mine already. but I am tapped out... bummer they ended that sale so fast or I would have upped it to the 100 gb. It was a year ago next month, and strike lightning twice, Ill be ready and waiting if they do lol !!!
unlimted data cusotmer would have to buy the phone outright (not go on intallment device payment plan) to keep unlimited data grandfatherred plan
We currently have 2 lines on 10gb. We are needing to add a 3rd line soon, but it will be even more expensive per line access bumped to $20 from $15.
I am guessing there still is a restriction of no pre-paid phones added to the data pool, unless they have been "seasoned" (as I was told for 6 months) on a pre-paid account?
Looking to add a smartphone for a child to our account, but all Verizon wants to do is sell me a phone on Edge\payments for 2 years.....
there are larger plans other than the xl plan they are not avertised because majority of cusotmers use from one to 12 gb a month there will be larger plans available if needed
you will be able to keep current pricing as long as you are bringing your own verizon phone or buying outright
So, after finding out today about the upcoming changes... What should I do? I have old plan and no smart phone. I can renew 2 yr contract and get Iphone 6 for 199.00 and upgrade to a data plan...2gig for single plan for $75/mo. Or..??
Well I just checked my plan and I was automatically switched to $40 for each smartphone instead of the discounted rate I had been previously paying. So I didn't get to keep my plan at all and I have been a wireless customer for many years. I have a feeling that this will end up an anti-trust lawsuit and they are hoping to confuse us for long enough to get as much money as possible. After they lied and said I could keep my plan and without telling me my plan had changed I'm switching to a different carrier. If I have to pay more then it will be to someone who is at least upfront and honest about it.
Increasingly frustrated, they cannot make changes to your account without notification or request. It sounds like you might be looking at your line charge of $40 which sounds correct, but forgetting to look at the features section of your account to view the added discount.
Same talk when Share Everything started 3 years ago. Some people saved. Some didn't. Some it cost more. However over the last 3 years More Everything became a better option than staying on the old Nationwide plans. Fact is unless you're on an unlimited data plan no reason to be on Nationwide. Especially if you're out of contract.Same thing will happen here. Over time Verizon will make pricing adjustments and offer specials to encourage people to come over to the new plans. I bet before the end of the year they'll already be running a special.
Not sure how accurate it is but I read somewhere where the pricing for higher tiers will be $120 for 20 GB. A 25 GB plan for $175 and the 30 GB-100 GB plans will remain the same price. If that's the case other than the 20 GB plan the rest make no sense. for example if I wanted 5 lines with 20 GB each. It's cheaper to get 5 individual lines for $140 each or $700 total than to get the 100 GB plan for $850 for 5 lines. Five 6 GB plans is cheaper than a 30 GB plan with 5 lines. Someone at Verizon failed math. It seems these new plans are geared to encourage smaller data users to switch or encourage people to use LESS. That seems to be the opposite of what you'd think Verizon would want. You'd think they'd want people to sign up for HIGHER data plans not lower ones. I'm sure as heck not paying $5 more for 3 GB less. Verizon should have left the $15 line fee in place for 12 GB and higher plans.
Also it seems since these are no contact plans that Verizon shouldn't be asking for security deposits anymore and not requiring 1 year contracts on AOLs.
I cannot explain how much I hate this change. I think it is a terrible decision on Verizon's part.
I know you said you can't explain how much you hate the change, but please try so we can help calm the masses.
It would be nice if Verizon would simply say: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan; if you like your phone, you can keep your phone". If they only said that, I'm sure they'd have to keep their word.

Hey zz99, I'm about 99.99% sure that Froido was just making a joke.
How is that even possible? How are you paying $175 for 5 lines with 15GB and I'm paying $147 for 2 lines with 3GB? What the heck?
OK, so right now I'm paying $130 (+ tax) for 2 smartphone lines with 3 GB.
It is my understanding that line charges will be $20 per phone ($40) and 3 GB will be $45, meaning that my bill would now be $85/month + paying for devices instead of getting "discounts." Is that right, guys? Thanks.
He is out of contract and all his phones are paid off.
15 GB is $100
Each line of service is $15 x 5 = $75
I have 30 GB, 5 lines of service (3 smartphones, 2 tablets) and pay $185, taxes included
30 GB was on special for a short period of time for $130
access fees: 3 smartphones out of contract, fully paid off $15 x 3, and 2 tablets x $10
I also get 13% off the $130 as a company reduction.
You can get good deals with Verizon, but you need to understand how they work, grab the good deals when they come, and hold on to them as long as you can unless something better comes up. It also means not getting new phones all the time, and considering buy your phones outright. In the end it is cheaper, sometimes much cheaper. Being on the roller coaster of wanting new phones every 2 years is what keeps people's prices high. You have to pay for that phone one way or the other.
@Veritas852
$100/15 GB + 5 lines@$15/line (We have a $25 month-to-month discount on each line).

If your 2 smartphones are out of contract that would be correct. If you purchased the smartphones under an edge agreement you would still have to pay the edge payments on top of that.
Correct, you will not get the $20/month line charge until your phone is finished with its current contract, from what has been written so far.
Not sure what you mean by "paying for devices instead of getting 'discounts'"?
CURRENTLY if you are on a More Everything plan and out of contract you are eligible for a discount on a device when making a purchase. Doesn't matter how you pay for that device. If you purchase it when signing a new 2 yr contract, you are CURRENTLY eligible for a ~$400 discount on the price of that phone. If you purchase at full retail up front, you are CURRENTLY eligible for a $15/month or $25/month line access fee discount for staying off contract(which works out to a $360 or $600 discount over the next 2 yrs). If you purchase on DPP(Edge) you are CURRENTLY eligible for a $15/month or $25/month as long as you are making DPP/Edge payments(which works out to a $360 or $600 discount over the next 2 yrs).
So to answer your question, regardless of how you "pay" for your device you are eligible for a discount.
After 8/13, with no 2 yr service contracts available you will either pay for your device up front at full retail cost or on DPP/Edge and smartphone line access fees will drop from $40 to $20 which works out to a $480 discount over the next 2 yrs.
Sorry for the confusion. What I meant was that I believe we are on "More Everything" and the way we usually do it is wait until the upgrade date and then upgrade *at a discount* with a new 2 year contract.
Now my question is this. My contract expires in January of next year, but my wife's contract (also on my plan) doesn't expire until January of the following year. Can we both switch to the monthly plan immediately? Can I switch to monthly once my contract expires, but still have my wife's (2 year contract) on the plan? Or do we have to wait until her contract expires before we go monthly? Thanks again.
Things will become much clearer after the 13th, but my understanding is you can change to the new plan after the 13th with all your lines. You can get the new data packages, but any line still under contract will continue to pay $40/month access fee and not the $20/month access fee. Once that contract is completed, the charge will drop automatically to $20/month.
We have 250Mb of data and don't even use that. We don't need 1GB. I still have a little over a year on my contract so we will stay on the More Everything plan. If I have to pay full price for a new phone I will buy it from another source. Since I get poor reception on my phone and am told by tech support that I am in a marginal zone and they won't do anything about it I won't let them make a profit on the phone.
The carriers pay the same full retail cost. No profit.
Fresh off the new Verizon site, they have just priced me out of their service at end of my contract:
Current bill is 57.18 which includes UT&T + 1 Gb and a phone subsidy.
New pricing structure would be 1 Gb @ $30, line @ $20, and misc junk @ $7.18 for a total of $57.18
BUT, the old price included a phone subsidy which is now an additional $20 pricing me at a ridiculous $77.18 under the new structure.
Silly Verizon, back to prepaid will go I.
Prepaid for the win...if you are a single line low data user like me.

GZRX - You can keep your old plan. When your contract is up, the line fee would be $20 on the new plan (the $40 is only while paying off the phone).
My only disappointment is the flat $20 rate connection charge. This adds up with multiple lines.

All carriers charge a connection charge for each line. If you are on a plan with a lower price per line, keep it as long as you can. My lines have a $15 per line fee, and I will keep it as long as possible.
We are at $15 per line as well. Any change to the plan will bump us to $20
per line.
On Fri, Aug 14, 2015 at 10:33 AM Verizon Wireless Community <
SO don't change your plan. I pay the bill for my extended family, they are all required to buy their own phones if they want an upgrade. I will keep the $15 line fees and my promotional data plan as long as possible by NOT making any changes.
That's one way of getting around Verizon's shenanigans.
Wow! After all the publicity I checked on the new plan. With my two paid off smart phones my options for bare service are either $100 on the old plan(Minimum data) or $90 on the new plan (S). I have been paying $95. It may be time to start looking at other providers.
Either your math is off, or your idea of a minimum plan is bigger than most.
for service only the new plan is $20 for each line and minimum data is $30, that is $70 before taxes.
if you are still on more everything plan your cost would be $25 each line and $20 minimum data plan (which is half of the new offer). Total is still $70 before taxes.
How are you getting your figures?
Unless you're pricing the 6 GB plan, which isn't the small plan? ($60)
Hi, Thanks for the reply. I'm getting my figures by logging on to my
account and looking at the two options that Verizon is offering. My current
plan is the more everything plan. If I stay with it the minimum shareable
date is 500MB at $20.00. The line access fee remains at $40/line or a total
of $100 for two lines. The new plan options are $30 for the small data plan
1GB and $30/line access charge for a total of $90.00. This is straight from
the Verizon site. I believe the line access charges vary by the data pack
purchased.

If you are out of contract, you should still be able to add a month to month discount of $15 on each line that is not in a contract and not on a payment plan.
Therefore you should be at $20 for the 500 MB, and $25 for each line - $50. Total is $70 plus fees and taxes.

Once ypur 2 year contract is paid off and you line is upgrade eligible you are also eligible for the out of contract discount, but you have to call and ask for it. It would knock $30 off your current bill.
if you switch, your line fees would be $20 each 6 GB of data is $60. But if you don't use that much, you can get the 1 GB for $30. Total stays at $70 before tax.
I recently got a phone replaced my new phone is a windows phone and I recently downloaded the 2015 nfl mobile app and I am on the more everything plan but when I attempt to access live video on the nfl mobile app it says my plan does not cover it but it does. I have re installed the app a few times and I don't know what the problem is. What do I need to do?
Thank you.
I can't even get the 2015-16 NFL app to open on the iPhone right now.
Habuman wrote: Hi, Thanks for the reply. I'm getting my figures by logging on to my account and looking at the two options that Verizon is offering. My current plan is the more everything plan. If I stay with it the minimum shareable date is 500MB at $20.00. The line access fee remains at $40/line or a total of $100 for two lines. The new plan options are $30 for the small data plan 1GB and $30/line access charge for a total of $90.00. This is straight from the Verizon site. I believe the line access charges vary by the data pack purchased. On Fri, Aug 14, 2015 at 2:37 PM, mama23dogs <forums@verizonwireless.com>

Where are getting that access charges are $30 per line?
On these new plans you get 1 GB for $30 and $20 per line access charge so for 2 lines that's $40. So that would be a total of $70.
Thank you. One phone is eligible and the other one within 2 weeks. I'll
check then!
