Are there any other family plans besides the share everything and edge plan?

Verizon may be losing another 6 lines if the plans dont start changing.

Changing to what? Also he Edge plan is payment plan not a separate type of plan. You add Edge to a More Everything plan. Not sure what exactly you are looking for? You go to At&t and you are going to encounter the exact same plan. And the other carriers aren't much different. What exactly is lacking on the More Everything plans?

On Share Everything 10 GB data, 3 phones, 2 tablets - $156 tax included

Just a bit over $30 per device, every device has hot spot,  I'm happy. Would I like to pay less, of course, but I feel at this level I am getting value.

It would be interesting to see what kind of plan you would be envisioning?

Wow I pay 180 for 3 iphones and 4 gb data on the share everything plan. 2 phones are off contract. Im talking about plans like they used to have where you choose a certain amount of data, minutes, and messages. I could care less about unlimited talk and txt. Most everyone I know has iphones and we just use imessage.

I don't care what kind of plan it is. It's expensive for what it is. Im getting tired of verizon and will be off contract on all my phones next month. I will be free to go where I want and check the competition out. I already tried tmobile with their test drive sale. Service seems to work good in all the areas i took it. What I may do is order the new iphones on contract then sell them on ebay then get another company to buy my contracts out and use that money to buy new phones.

You do realize the minutes and texting are CHEAPER on the new plans vs the old plans. And as I said if you moved to at&t you have to choose their share plan which are basically identical to Verizon. Any ways since 2 line are off contract. Just log into My Verizon choose Change Features and then activate the Month2Month discount on the 2 lines out of contract and that'll knock off $20 a month right there.

You are not taking advantage of the month2month off contract discount on your lines.

With you current 4GB, you will get $10 of each line off contract.

So now your $180 is down to $160.

THEN when your third line goes off contract, bump your data to 10 GB, now each line is $25 off or $15!

$100 for 10GB + 15 x 3 lines = $145!!!,

If you have any type of company discount, that gets taken off the data, or the $100.

ummmm they dont pay your etfs if you dont trade in your phone.

That won't work. Ok first the phones a re going to cost you $230 plus tax each so $700+ for 3 iPhones. Then YOU are going to have to pay the ETF which will be $1050 then the other carrier will reimburse you but not $1050. I believe other carrier limits this to $650. Besides being a wrong thing to do why bother with all this?

[jvale755]

They pay up to 650 per line if you trade in the phone. $350 for etf and up to 300 for device trade in up to 5 lines. It's not much trouble they pay you back on a prepaid mastercard. I will have to pay 1050 plus 600 for the phones that I am not activating. I called tmobile and you only have to give up the phone you currently use which will be the iphone's.
