Sorry but it is not hard at all to go over 2gigs on your phone I avg about 3 per month.
I have been with VZW for 10 years.
I have had contracts the entire time and had new devices often as I could.
When I "renewed" for device pricing, it never changed my plan. It simply locks me into it for a new time period.
I was never forced into any kind of change. Even when my plan was old and no longer offered. I just switched to the family promo that was discussed here. Before that I had a plan that was offered to me like 6 years ago and was discontinued shortly after I got it .
They just renewed the existing contract. They never once forced my plan to change.

Do you stream music a lot? Otherwise you must surf an ungodly amount, because I get a fair amount of email and some light surfing, even some navigation, and hit maybe 300megs a month for that. I will go 500megs-1gig depending on how much Pandora I play.
Like I said, the average was 400megs, might be a bit higher now and note how you and your girlfriend 8-12X that skew the averages.

With just using Pandora during my ~60 minutes a day of commuting I average at least 2 gigs a month. 2 gigs might sound like a lot, but it's nothing compared to the terabytes of data I move at home (having 25/25 fiber helps). But still. 2 gigs is not a lot of data, let alone 5 gigs.
The providers speak a lot of "average users", which is fine. It may be true. But the trend of consumption will dramatically increase as services are available, meaning these paltry 2 gig plans will be woefully inadequate. Instead of fixing the terrible infrastructure in this country companies just want to limit how you use it (not just cellular). It's sad.

With iPhone, and now Android, you are seeing many more users of smartphones who would not have gotten a smartphone before. Just in passing, I am starting to see lots of "grandma" types, elderly individuals who really don't "need" smartphones, and yet they are carrying Droids and iPhones. And streaming and cloud computing really isn't being driven by cell phone carriers, it's just the natural evolution of the internet. It's not like it is Verizon (or AT&T, or Sprint, etc.) that is driving streaming services just so they can ding people for overages.

95% of people who own smartphones don't "need" them. People survived without them quite nicely for centuries. I am amazed by the way people think that they need things. I buy a lot of things, but I can recognize that I really need very few of the things I buy.
Either way it doesn't matter to me what you use or my parents use because I am paying for "Unlimited" data and I will use however much I use and not think twice about it. There is no need for me to feel guilty or look over my shoulder as I am NOT doing anything wrong. I am using what I paid for, period. Not to mention all my phones will be bought at full retail from now on so they will have to force me to goto tiered data...
