O this hurts talking about it I had 2 Lines Unlimited the Ole Alltel  SMARTPACK 500  one line 89.99 the other 40.00 and I kicked it Down to one Line either my Transmission is Slipping or someone one put something in my Dr.Pepper and I went into the Verizon store and after Paying our bill I asked a Rep I've known for a long time to do the Wild Deed I asked for some tissue paper I told him would ya done this he said if I still had my Unlimited No but because of circumstances beyond my control meaning his wife the Unlimited went away for Good..

Now what I was told by this Good Man is if I want the Second line back and the Unlimited all I have to do is contact him before our Bill cycles and I can get it Back.!   I asked do I need to shut my phone off my Droid Maxx he said no you can use it up n till the cycle Date and you can reverse what we did today!!! O I said..  so we me & my mum have sometime to think about what we Did or should I say what got into my head and said go to store and remove Line Now.!!!  my my my

Wait.  What happened and why?

[B33]

Well we Dropped a Line actually it's still active till the 26 and then if I don't stop the Order we will have one Less Unlimited Line to Worry about.  It will cut our Bill Quite a-bit but once it's gone its gone for GOOOOOD:smileysad:  the Unlimited Data & Text Messaging on this Line.. O ouch that still hurts to say that

[Weth]

It is hard to let it go, but if you are not using it, or know someone that can use it, it is not worth it to throw your money after it.

I got rid of my unlimited data about 2 years ago.  I was spending about $110 a month, maybe about $100 with an employer discount.  I had insurance added as well at the time.  I was using about 5GB a month as I had no WiFi at home.  Now I use about 500 MB or less a month and pay $50.80 a month.  So, just because you can, doesn't mean it's the best financial decision.

I ALSO got rid of my unlimited data almost 3 yrs ago and went on the Share Everything/More Everything plan. With unlimited data on 2 lines and basic phones on 2 lines without data plans, I was paying ~$220/month. I wanted to upgrade the 2 basic lines to smartphones and didn't see the need to add 2 x $30/2 GB data plans increasing my monthly bill to ~$280. I should mention that I NEVER went over 2 GB on either of the 2 unlimited data lines EVER. Not even close. I chose to upgrade the 2 basic phones to smartphones and go on the share everything plan with 4 GB of data and KEEP my monthly bill at ~$220 instead of increasing it to $280 and keeping the unlimited data.

NOW, I STILL have 4 smartphones on the account with 15 GB of shared data and am paying a monthly bill of $178 with 3 lines out of contract and the last line scheduled to be out of contract in April which will drop my monthly bill even further. I recently decided to go with the 15 GB data tier over the 10 GB data tier after having to increase it last month when my daughter went over our data allowance. The additional ~$15/month for 5 GB seemed like a good safety cushion and simply kept the data allowance at 15 GB. Prior to the increase, our normal monthly usage was ~8 GB total on the 4 lines.

Sounds Like a Good Plan rcschnoor

[B33]

Well it's official Friends I'm now on One Line my Droid Maxx is Free I guess you could call it Free to hook up to Wi-Fi for Data, but no more Calling unless I swamp out the Sim Cards with my one M8 should I be happy about this in few weeks I might think different of it.. O well it's done Now and I have one good line left..

[Snn5]

You can use the old Maxx as your google Voice line

[B33]

O yea I forgot about that Thanks for passing that to me Snn5

Boy I'm kind of Glad we me & my mom made the move we did axing one of our Lines.. Going forward with the $20 extra bucks that is being Zapped now on our Bill which will increase the Taxes it would've been a steamy High with an Extra $40 to pay I think Verizon needs to rethink there plans for Seniors or Give Discounts to existing Plans like my mom has she's been a long time customer and she for sure is over 50'  getting only what she gets from S.S. which for 2016 is not going to increase one penny..  In some ways being Quite frank this really sucks..
