Verizon is currently offering 4GB for $30. If you're on the 2GB/$30 plan, I'd suggest giving Verizon a call to take advantage of this promotion. Or PM me.

Me too.

Every time I go into Verizon they try to get me to switch out of my Alltel contract and into a Verizon plan for my wireless card.... hellz to the no.

I signed up for Verizon the day before they stopped offering unlimited

11/8/2011 8:57:41 AM

^^^ I plan to use this thread for other things as well. I guess I could have added a Wireless on there. /shrug


Also, I recently lost my unlimited data. But paying $25 for 1500 minutes, unlimited text, and 2GB of data seems worth it

Also tell them to release the Galaxy Nexus NOW.

11/8/2011 8:59:16 AM

I'll stick with my unlimited data for $40/month at Sprint

11/8/2011 9:06:46 AM

thing is, i don't even know how much data i use per month. whenever i'm at home i use wifi.

11/8/2011 9:08:58 AM

i hope vzw doesn't screw me out of my unlimited vzw data plan.

any chances they would; or what should I know so they don't?

it still pisses me off that vzw requires a tethering plan, etc (a data plan for each vzw device on the same account). it's bullshit. the data is still data, no matter the source. if someone has 4gb/month, why does it matter what device it comes from?

^^ as long as you have a smartphone on your plan, you'll keep you're unlimited data. However, you put a basic phone on you're account, even for a second, you'll lose your data. I don't think you will ever do that so you shouldn't be worried. I also agree, the $20 tethering charge is bullshit.


^ I've had a lot of people come in and told they had to change their alltel plan to Verizon plan. This is bullshit, tell them to go fuck off and you're going to keep you're plan.

Only issue I've had with this is in my office building, but no one gets signal in there. It's a black hole of wireless signal for some reason.

11/9/2011 9:39:13 AM

that means more iphone customers for bmel!

11/9/2011 9:43:59 AM

acutally, since the iphone isn't 4G I can get them to switch over to androids.

11/9/2011 9:44:47 AM

but dumb [iphonefanboysandgirls] customers gonna want it no matter what. good luck trying to convert them!

11/9/2011 9:46:11 AM

They gotta have the one with more GB's.

11/9/2011 9:47:19 AM

^ lol.
It's 3G and has the WiFis.

11/9/2011 10:14:47 AM

11/9/2011 10:49:13 AM

I should probably PM bmel to make sure I'm not getting ripped off on my current plan.

11/9/2011 10:52:35 AM

sure

11/9/2011 11:08:48 AM

nvm, forgot about the new expensive ass data plans. i've got unlimited so there's no way i come out better with any plan changes

^^ you can still change your plan as far as minutes go, that won't affect your data plan. However, do not ever change your data plan.

11/9/2011 11:24:26 AM

Get Verizon to move my upgrade date from May 2012.

11/9/2011 11:24:57 AM

^^anything lower than 450 min @ $60 yet (including the texting, etc)?

11/9/2011 11:31:14 AM

So if I have the 10 gig for $80 on my mifi hotspot, will they give me 20 gigs? BF3 is using a lot of data.)

11/9/2011 11:35:11 AM

Don't think it covers hotspots. Just 4G smartphone data plans

11/9/2011 11:36:03 AM

I just left Verizon a couple months ago for Sprint. The nickel and diming made it no longer worthwhile to do business with them. My main reasons were:
- Verizon was starting to block tethering apps from working and insisting that you pay for a "mobile hotspot". The way I see it if I pay for 2GB of data transfer I should be able to use that however I please.
- The only Verizon plan comparable to the sprint unlimited plan in price would have limited me to 2GB of data transfer and something like 200 texts per month. There is something to be said for not having to monitor my usage or worry about going over my plan limits whether I ever come close or not.
- Verizon and Sprint offer discounts to employees of my company. With Verizon the discount was 22% and it only applied to the voice plan. It would apply to data/text plans over $50/month, but I wasn't interested in spending that much. With Sprint it is 25% applied to the total bill.
- The Sprint store price matched with Sam's Club and knocked $50 off my phone.
- Sprint gave me a $125 credit for porting a Verizon number to their network. The end result of both discounts was that I got a $200 Samsung Galaxy S2 for $25 (although I was taxed on $150 because the porting credit came later).

It sucks because I do believe Verizon has the better data network. With Sprint voice roaming on Verizon towers my voice coverage has been excellent. I would have paid a little more for the Verizon plan, but their pricing seems downright trite to me right now.

The only thing lower is the 65 Plus Plan, but you don't get unlimted texting with it so you'd have to get $20 text package (5000 text and unlimited m2m text) Then it would only save you $10/month so I don't feel it would help very much, unless you don't text much.

No, unfortunately, it only applies to 4G smartphones.

Such as?
The most powerful phone VZW had when I was looking was the Droid Bionic for $300. Droid Photon for $200 at Sprint is almost identical in every way. The Galaxy S2 has a much better screen than both, a more powerful processor, is thinner, and weighs less.

we got in the Razr today and its pretty awesome. I just don't like that you can't remove the battery. We also got in the HTC Resound, which was similar to most HTC phones. I look forward to playing with the Galaxy Nexus. Also, our 4G speeds are da bomb.

11/9/2011 12:29:09 PM

Razrs suck. The designer of the phone is awesome, however the computer engineer that designed the components inside the phone doesn't really know what he's doing.

11/9/2011 12:31:14 PM

@Skack: Sprint has started blocking the tethering apps as well, and i refuse to pay extra for that wtf sprint??!!?!
