So now that Verizon no longer has the option to choose how much data you would like to have a month (They only have it for kids) if I wanted another plan I would have to give up my corporate discount on my bill. I know in the past if you wanted unlimited everything you could no longer use your corporate discount on your bill, but since they only offer unlimited everything now why can't they just let you use your discount on the bill. Only way to be able to afford verizon is if I can continue to use my discount. I am extremely upset as I have been a Verizon customer since day 1, and they won't allow this. Again they only offer unlimited everything, I tried to get more GB of data per month but was told that is only available for kids. Any way around this?
Verizon doesn't only offer unlimited plans. They STILL offer tiered data plans as they have in the past.
I know personally how important it is to make sure that you have the right plan for your family Redsoxgirl582. We do appreciate your loyalty. We do have a tiered plan and Unlimited plans for our customers to choose from. We want to make sure we help you in picking the right plan. You can review all our plans here: https://www.verizonwireless.com/plans/ We do not offer corporate discounts on our unlimited plans but we do offer a discount for having Auto Pay and Paperless Billing. You can get $5.00 off per smartphone line. Sometimes it can be more than your corporate discount. You can review this information (#2) here: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/auto-pay-faqs/ I know I have provided a lot of information. Let me know if you have any questions with what I have provided you. AmberF_VZW
I also use the employer discount on my shared data plan. Switching over to an unlimited plan is too expensive for me especially when one of my phones is the basic phone.

Lol. Is Verizon deluded? My 22% off my tiered plan and $15 line fees and $10 tablet, means my bill is $168 for a typical use of around 10 - 15 gigs a month. I don’t need Unlimited. Neither AT&T or Verizon can match the plan.
T-mobile can match the price with unlimited and has a deal to accept my discount, but they have terrible coverage here.
Both AT&T and Verizon need to get heads out of the sand
I am in the same boat. Three phones, two watches currently on a employer discounted 8GB plan. Moving to Unlimited would bump my bill up by $50. Doesnt sound like much, but it's over $600 a year.
They need new shared plans, they are very old and came out over 2 years ago, sometimes you can get lucky and get put onto a Loyalty plan, those give you a huge bump in Data for the same price your paying now.
What a difference a new plan makes. I was paying for a prepaid line on Verizon for extra data, and reception, and $169 for a group plan on AT&T, total over $200 a month after taxes.
Switched to Verizon with our own phones on the 13th. My bill should be about the same, more like $180, and I added my mom back because it’s cheaper to have 5 phone lines than 4.
But the max on the shared plans is 10G. Up until recently, it was only 8G. My family shared 12-15G with AT&T. They basically force you to go unlimited or scramble for wifi everywhere you go and risk overages.. i don't see the point in denying the discount.
4 lines on the 10 gig plan is $140
4 lines on unlimited starter is $140
Or switch to prepaid and set up a multi line group. Everyone can get their own data pool and no overages. Put the savings aside and pay full price for phones.
If all you see is problems, without looking at the alternatives, you'll never see there ARE solutions.
Great Call runs on Verizon for elderly family, that is where jitterbug phones come from.
Visible runs on Verizon, it's version of Cricket.
mikeesia, thanks for reaching out. We do offer discounts on the unlimited plans when you sign up for auto-pay (debit card or checking account) and paper-free billing. Check the plans here https://www.verizon.com/plans/

Verizon still has tiered data plans. Verizon doesn't have corprote discounts and neither do the other carreirs. That's just the way it is.

I have to agree. And if you notice, AT&T did the same. With loss of discount, unlimited would cost me $80 to $100 more a month. And I just don’t need that much data. We have a 20 gig plan, and usually use well under. Once in a while it gets crazy. With that price difference, I’ll pay for the occasional overage first. And my kids will get the boot onto their own plans/prepaid if it gets bad.
I think the point is lack of choice. Metered plans have their place, including large metered plans. And I’ll be holding onto mine until I get a better offer.
I'm with you. I've had Verizon since analog and would like to move to unlimited but can't afford to without the discount.
I occasionally get emails from Verizion promoting the unlimited plans and that I should switch to save money and get more data.
I have 4 phones, 3 watches, and 1 tablet on 16GB. I pay $195 / month with my corporate discount.
The cheapest beyond plan would cost me $50 more / month since I can't use my corporate discount.
Now I do want Disney+ but the difference is only $7 / month so still not worth it. The gap would close completely if I traveled to mexico every month and took advantage of the 5 free travel passes per line but I don't travel that much.

The base price for 'start unlimited' for you would be $190. You must be in a high tax state if it's another $55 on top of that.

I agree its a garbage policy. What good is the corporate discount if I cant apply it to whatever plan I use? Verizon should be happy that Im choosing their most expensive plan and honor the corporate discount which they have negotiated with my company.
This prevents me from upgrading to unlimited which I would like to do, but will not stomach losing my 20% discount on an already overpriced service.

Sorry, but that's funny, and not true for us. I came off a 20 gig plan with 5 phone and one tablet, with a 22% discount (100-22 = $78 data), $15 line fees. $208 total. Moved to unlimited and lost that 22% and my total bill is $190.
Our goal is to ensure we get you on the right plan at the best price. We went ahead and sent you a private message for further assistance.

Lol. Already discounted huh? Then by definition that makes it regular price. So where's the discount for 10+ year customers. Your wording is a bad excuse for taking advantage of your customers.
