I talked to a customer service rep and asked why verizon does not have a monthly plan of $45 a month unlimited talk, text and data. His response to me was that they tried it and were taken to court because other companies said verizon would monopolize the wireless business and that wasn't fair. Are you serious with this? they already monopolize the wireless industry. I think the real reason is they enjoy charging extra for data.....it's called greed!!

I just don't understand why and how a company can be so money hungry, it's time to stop thinking about the money and time to start actually thinking about your customers.

Actually it is because unlimited data causes network overloads and slows the networks down  immensely.

Unless you have a crappy network, then offer unlimited.

There is a reason unlimited all-you-can-eat buffets contain so-so food.

I never had that problem with straight talk, always had service and it was never slow. Not really sure why I switched.

I guess this is one of those situations were you live and learn!!

Please share your money-hungry greed theory with my gas and electric companies, the gas stations, and the tax man.  Much as I hate greed at the expense of customers, I also understand free enterprise. They have a product, we want to use it. They paid to create it... if you had developed a product, wouldn't you expect to profit from it? or would you give it away because you're such a nice person?

I agree that they should offer some sort of unlimited plan like they did in the past. And as far as making a profit, believe me they are making a buttload of profit. For example, apple charges $650 for an iPhone6. Over $400 of that is pure profit.

So in theory, Verizon could offer an unlimited plan and still benefit from it. Anyone can tell that Apple's overhead and cost of materials does not equal out to anywhere close to $400 per iPhone.

Also, it makes complete sense for them to offer an unlimited plan because every other provider offers one. Why not offer one to squash the competition. We all know that's what the name of the game is, out sell the competitors. If AT&T offers "Plan A" at $80/month, Verizon should strive to offer the same benefits of "Plan A" at a cheaper rate.
