Verizon is Raising Prices on Grandfathered Unlimited Plans by $20
- Status
It is unsafe. There's no two ways about it. I will never use a public wifi connection.
Reading this is very funny actually, and seen this same topic about every 4 months over the years. And it just gets more hatred as time goes on.
Yeah alright Verizon raise those damn unlimited data customers prices, yeah cancel those unlimited plans etc. etc.
The fact is Many people gave up their unlimited either because they needed that new phone today instead of waiting to pay for it in whole, or they were fooled by the many false articles here and elsewhere about how you better jump on this deal cause unlimited is going away.
I could of bought stocks many years ago that made people rich, i dont hold it against them that they bought it, I dont sit and talk down to them for their smart move, and i dont sit and hope they go bankrupt.
The number of people with hate filled messages about us wise enough to keep our unlimited is staggering.
I only use about 12-20 gigs off football season and 30 during football season, since it says nfl mobile not nfl wifi.
I only tether if needed for a short period of time, i haven't used tether in at least 4 months., and when i did it was only due to my home internet which i pay 55 a month for was down and i needed to do something important.
There are reasons to stay and reasons to leave. NFL mobile is probably the reason i wouldn't make the switch, but tmobile unlimited which now pretty much shuts down at 23 gigs is something that i would be more pissed off about than a 20 dollar increase,.
there are pluses and minuses with both thats why i use to have both until i moved here where tmobile was in 1920 until just recently when they upgraded form 2g to LTE.
I lived in an area in colorado where verizon just didnt work at my house.
So i got tmobile which was great there, but kept the verizon phone so i wouldn't lose unlimited.
So all you crying about us on unlimited some of us spent a lot of money we didnt need to to keep it,
So stop crying about it , many of you had the same opportunity to keep unlimited data either on verzion or the service you switched from after the option for unlimited on verizon was gone.
Everyone is going to ***** when a price goes up almost 50% and/or 20 dollars a month, weather it be unlimited users, tiered users, the coffee club card, cable whatever. That doesnt give anyone the right to say oh yeah screw you guys for being smart and spending the extra to keep it, see they got you yeah yeah yeah down with people who weren't like me and gave it up.
Do you go to the gas station and yell at the people getting 10 cents off a gallon because they shopped at a certain store, but you dont get the 10 cents because you made an alternative decision and shopped at a store that doesnt offer the discount. ( put aside we all know its the same in the end you pay for it 1 way or the other)
Just most of us on unlimited have payed for it, we dont have unlimited minutes and messaging. we cant legally tether.
Their are downsides, but it depends wht you use your phone for. I like to watch football when away from the house and netflix etc. I barely make phone calls, but i pay extra every month in texting charges because im afraid if i tried to up it id lose unlimited.
All i see is a bunch of people silly enough to give up unlimited and cry to them selves every time we dont lose it, very shallow people.

In law enforcement, you're issued a company device, and if not, they pay for your personal service. I know, I was in law enforcement for four years.FWIW, I'm in Law enforcement and my phone is vital in my day to day business practices. It is a 'NEED".
I am rooted, which gives me the option to thether, but i don't use it. I still use 30-40gb a month because i stream NFL games.
I'm on WIFI when i get home, my gf house, my gf parents house, my parents house and evereone else wifi if i have the password.
I am mad at the price increase, regardless of any argument BECAUSE it only affects 1% of people using UD. I am not abusing, illegal sharing or what have you. I'm on a plan they offered in a business contract and they're changing their terms. Can they do it? yes. Am i mad about it? Yes. Unlimited is 'unlimited', unless limited by TOS. Fooey. UD? more like CRUD. cap restricted unlimiterd data. Where's my vaseline?... i know i have it here somewhere. I'm a former xfinity customer after all ...
Secondly, I find it hilarious you went from my phone is a need to talking about using 40 GB's for NFL mobile.
With YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, fb videos, etc I can see how that can be the case.
Plus with phones coming with limited storage and people practically forced to use cloud services. I mean yeah people going to use more data. It is what it is. If you have access to a trusted WiFi service great. But I'm not going to sign on to every public WiFi. For one most of the ones I been on was much slower than the speeds I get with my carrier, and second I don't trust the network. I mean the guy flipping the burgers and dropping the fries really going to care about a secure network when he is making $8 a hour. I mean if I needed to save money and go to a low data plan then I would do what I had to do. But right now go I'm on a 30 gig plan for a reason.

Are you sure maybe thats why they want 15 an hour.
It takes skill to flip them burgers while installing WiFi service. Pay me my 15 please. [emoji12] .LOL
That's a whole different topic.

Actually, I jumped off my unlimited this last year because we just weren't using the data, never had and it saved me $100 on my bill. I held onto it for so long thinking our data increase would keep going up & up but it never did. Finally, it just made better sense to not be spending so much more money on something I wasn't even using. That being said, if I was still holding onto it, I would not be too happy because it was costing me $60 more per month to keep it, not to mention the extra I was paying when new phones were needed. In other words, those paying for UD are paying much more for it already.
And I would bet that if Verizon was to figure out the amount of data on average that their UD customers are using, I'm sure it would not be an extravagant amount.
What I wish Verizon would consider is a shared unlimited data plan. I think if they went this route, people with multiple lines would flock to it and I think their profit margin would benefit just the same as their tiered plans. Just maybe this is a stepping stone to that notion.
Funny thing, I recently answered a Verizon survey asking if they had roll over data, would I be interested? Who on earth would say no to that? Of all the stupid questions they could ask.

Yeah i understand adn i dont see tht you hold a hard will toward those on unlimited data.
But many i believe did just like you EXCEPT their data usage has gone up now they are regretting dumping unlimited and for some reason want to put the blame on the people who have gone through the hoops to keep it.
I don't agree with you on tethering - it's an explicit violation of the TOS, and if all data was truly equal then you wouldn't need to consume it on other devices. And that's what their plan basically did, giving you truly unlimited, unconstrained data ON THAT SPECIFIC DEVICE. VZW never sold or represented the agreement was unlimited data piped to any and as many devices of your choosing.
I'm not going to watch a movie on my phone when my 55" tv is right in front of me, so that's why my usage would increase with tether if I can pipe that data to my tv. It's not that the data isn't the same, it's that I'm connecting another device to their service I haven't paid for - note that shared plans have a charge for each device connected.
Very simply, VZW knew not allowing tether would arbitrarily cap how much data the vast majority of people would use, which allowed them to offer unlimited. Because most people were not going to use a much smaller and slower device when better options were available...but then phones started getting huge
So now you have people legitimately using 10-20GB a month without tethering.
