Verizon Customers: July 7th is a day of reckoning
-
I use the shit out of the data on my phone and the max I hit in a month is like 1.5gb... I don't see this really being an issue for 99% of people.
I've carried a verizon aircard with me for years and that has a 5gb cap which I've never touched either.

I won't use more than 2gb data anyway. No big deal here. Makes one think about the reasons for acquiring Alltel tho. Competitors were going to completely unlimited plans while Verizon was plotting to take more away from us. Sort of makes sense now...That's why I went with Sprint. Less money, less restriction, same/better coverage even in remote areas of ND and MN that aren't in the sprint network typically.
FWIW, I manage to use about ~4gb of data/month (wifi hotspot)

I generally have better service side by side with my Verizon personal phone than Sprint work phone. Data is spotty sometimes too. I have a ton of issues in buildings with Sprint too. It could be my phone, it's a blackberry, but I had similar issues with the last phone I had as well.

This will just make it so I never bother getting a smart phone. We pay 140 a month without having data plans, I'll be damned if I'm going to add more onto that. There price for 2gb of data is ridiculous.How many people is we? $140/mo at Sprint will get you two smartphones w/ unlimited everything on one plan...

I have 4g LTE here and I consider my smartphone usage as pretty heavy... and I used 500mb last month.The only way you're going to hit 5gb is streaming <u>Pandora</u> or tethering...
Anyway if you have a plan now you're grandfathered in.
Fix'd

Im constantly between 4-5gb of data month. I stream pandora 40+ hours a week plus tethering and other data usages. I would be fucked if I didn't have unlimited data.

Sprint will start with tiered data plans within 12 months as well...phone companies always follow each other with stupid stuff like this it seems like. What's even worse is that in several areas around the country, ISP's are starting to do tiered data as well rather than speed restrictions. Stupid.
I just talked to a VZW rep who told me that if I were to add the unlimited data to my current plan (non-smartphone, not eligible to upgrade til July 25) that I would then be grandfathered in when I upgrade the phone later this month. So FWIW, if you ever plan on doing unlimited data and using tons of it, might be worthwhile to upgrade early so you are grandfathered in.

So basically, tetherings the only way any of you get even close to 5gb. It's nearly impossible to reach that just on your phone.Yes

I'm a cheap ass though too.I have 2 androids (Evo and Epic) on my account and pay just over $120 with tax for the 2 lines. Additional non-smartphone is $9.99/month extra....smart phone is $19.99 on the "everything data family plan".
FWIW, when dealing with Sprint (especially at the kiosk at the mall) you ALWAYS work for a Chrysler Dealership. Automatic 23% discount and you typically aren't required to prove anything...and if you are required to you tell them that you are new to Corwins and don't have a biz card yet.
