Verizon wireless users...can you fill me in on the changes coming July 7th?
If you already have unlimited Data plans, you can keep it right? Even if you upgrade your phone?
TIA!!!!

Re: Verizon wireless users...can you fill me in on the changes coming July 7th?
What changes? Did I miss an e-mail or mailing? I have the unlimited data plan on my blackberry. I would like to get the I-phone in October when I am entitled to a new phone. But I "heard" that just on I-phone data plans they wanted to jack the prices up! I think it's just a rumor but it should be if you are locked into it they shouldn't raise your prices! If someone knows any info on this please let me know!!!!

didnt read the article but tier pricing is in affect (what at&t already does) for data plans.
engadget
existing data plans are already grandfathered. new accounts will be subject to this on July 6/7 whatever the date is.

I read that they may not grandfather this in so much for renewals - so when your current contract expires or you get a new phone you will need to switch to tiered.

Does anyone think I can take advantage and cancel our contracts b/c of the changes? I just want out of Verizon... Hate Them!

I guess nobody looked at the link.
1. They can't just change your contract. They must honor what you 2 already agreed upon.
2. Even after it expires, it states you can still "possibly" keep the plan even if you get a new phone
3. AT&T already did this and once T-Mobile and AT&T merge, Sprint will be the only one doing it.
4. Speaking of Sprint, they don't have as many users taxing there network so they really don't need to do this. Eventully, they will just like every other carrier.
5. Download MyVerizon and see how much data you are actually using. If you are connected to WIFI at most places, actual data use would be small since you are using someone elses internet.
6. Verizon service for some does not compare to other companies so you pay for what you get once you switch. Again, that was "Some" people and not all.
As of this morning we have been given the green light to start training on the data changes Verizon Wireless is making effective 7/7/11.
$29.99 unlimited data will be discontinued effective 7/7/11
EXISTING CUSTOMERS- That have our $29.99 unlimited data plan WILL BE GRANDFATHERED IN, they will keep their unlimited plan after 7/7/11
EXISTING CUSTOMERS- That current have the unlimited data WILL BE ABLE TO UPGRADE AND KEEP the unlimited data feature (No known end date on this as of this moment)
EXISTING CUSTOMERS- That add lines post 7/7/2011, will NOT be able to choose the $29.99 unlimited data feature
NEW CUSTOMERS- Any customer that sets up service from now, until 7/7/2011 WILL BE ON, AND WILL BE GRANDFATHERED into our $29.99 unlimited data package
NEW CUSTOMERS- Any new customer that set up service AFTER 7/7/2011, WILL NOT be able to choose the $29.99 unlimited plan
BUSINESS DISCOUNTS- Currently our business discounts apply to the $29.99 data plan on the primary line only. Most discounts are 20% despite whatever monthly access discount they have
BUSINESS DISCOUNTS- After 7/7/2011 data discounts will only apply to the $50 and higher data packages on the primary line.
Discount break down ex. of customers with a 20% feature discount on their primary line. ($50-20%=$40/month for 5GB and includes the business e-mail feature)
-- ($20/GB vs. $40/GB+ Business e-mail )
New data pricing for smart phones is as follows:
$30 for 2GB with $10/GB overage
$50 for 5GB (this also includes business e-mail at no additional charge) with $10/GB overage
$80 for 10GB (this also includes business e-mail at no additional charge) with $10/GB overage
So all changes effective July 7th, 2011.
Existing customer KEEP their $29.99 unlimited data plan
If an existing customer upgrades from a feature phone to a smart phone after 7/7/11, they will NOT be able to add on the unlimited data package. They must choose from the new data plans.
Anyone who sets up new service with unlimited data, upgrades from a feature phone to a smart phone with unlimited data, or customer currently on the $29.99 before July, 7, 2011 will be grandfathered in.
These changes also apply to employee plans as well (personal accounts w/work discounts applied)
SO, This is a huge time for us to set our customers up with the right package for them! We only have 14 DAYS remaining for unlimited data, and until the new data pricing takes effect. (14 days to setup new customers w/unlimited data, and customers upgrading from a feature phone to a smart phone)
PLEASE, PLEASE make sure we take advantage of this heads up and get our heavy data users set up on these unlimited plans before they change.

They will be soon to follow. At&t has had this for awhile already.
