ShareEverythin Plan - TOO EXPENSIVE - Rip OFF

[Lily13]

I am extremely disappointed that instead of Verizon coming out with a plan that is family friendly and affordable they come out with the ShareEverything plan that comes out to be much more expensive then the plans they had before. What is the point of sharing data when you can have your own 2 gb data and pay less then sharing a data plan with less data. It is outrageous that they come out with a plan that is actually ripping people off instead of save them money. Sure the unlimited minutes is nice to have but don't need them so way pay more??

beleive it or not this plan was requested by many people

they said they never use data, and therefore didnt want to pay for 2gb per line and never use ut

Except Verizon upped the pricing on the data. 2 GB was $30 now 1 GB is $50. Should have keep the old data pricing and you wouldn't have had nearly as many complaints. I think what people that use little data wanted was lower than 2 GB tiers.

nope, they requested the ability to share 1 data plan between phones

you can still do a 2gb plan per line

for 3 lines thats $90, or share 10gb for $100

You forget in that share scenario there is a device charge. Under the old plan 700 minutes with unlimited texting for 4 lines was $120. Now 4 smartphones is $160. Drop the per line charge to $30 and I'll switch to Share Everything TODAY.

look back in the forums form a year or more ago, there were many requests

there is no what you got 4 lines with smartphones under the old plan for 120, it was 120 just for the data

then 9.99 per line.

2 smartphones under the old plan was over $120

It's people like me that are going to get HOSED.  I have only one smartphone and 3 dumbphones on my plan.  So I have NO need to SHARE my data.  Should I switch plans, my data plan cost goes from $25 for unlimited (w/copr discount) for the one smartphone, to $60 for 2gb for that one smart phone!

Overall, my bill would climb from $140 per month to over $200 (with LESS data)!!

[AZSALUKI]

so simply don't switch. nowhere does it say that these plans are mandatory. i just got a gsiii for my wife (upgrade from basic phone). i chose my current plan and the 2gig individual data plan for $30 for her new phone.

[asdfasdfasdf]

Are you saying that if I upgrade one of my 3 dumbphones, I can still stay on my current plan?  And if I upgrade my smartphone, I can also stay on my current plan?  I can live with losing unlimited data.  I never use more than 2gb a month anyway. 

I just don't want to be forced onto the Share Everything Plan

[21stNow]

Existing customers do not have to switch to Share Everything plans; they can keep their existing plans at upgrade time with the exception of unlimited data.  Only new customers have to choose a Share Everything plan.

[asdfasdfasdf]

Thanks!

[notarep]

Apparently, stores only have the option of switching customers to share everything.

[budone]

3rd party resellers only have the choice for the Share Everything plans.

[commonsense101]

So buy from a real store. You get ripped off less at a direct store than some 3rd party joke store

[rexsichic]

You might want to verify this before upgrading and being stuck in the new plan. I had numerous people tell me, from store to customer service and even Best Buy, that if we didn't upgrade my boyfriend's line before the plan changes took effect, we would be forced into the new plan. We upgraded the night before the new plan hit. We were told the next time we upgrade, we will have no choice but to move to the new plan.

[Tidbits]

You went to BestBuy. They do not have the option to retain your current plan. If you went to a corporate Verizon store you will be able to keep the current plan other than the unlimited data(which you will have to get tiered).

[rexsichic]

As I stated, I had several people tell me we would be forced into the plan, including store & customer services employees as well as Best Buy. I actually had several customer service reps tell me that, several store employees and an employee at an authorized retailer

[Tidbits]

Yes those are RETAILERS, and not corporate

[rexsichic]

I'll try this one more time....I said I had several customer service employees and store employees tell me this, as well as employees at an authorized retail store and Best Buy. Verizon Wireless employees are included in there.

[Tidbits]

Notice what you said there?

Authorized RETAIL store.  It's a retailer.  There's IS a difference between a Authorized/premium retailer and a corporate Verizon store.  Even their own store locator depicts the differences when you do a search.  If they were the "same" it wouldn't mark them differently.  Their employees also get paid differently.

Yea that for Sure...
