Actually, the Share Everything plans all include free tethering. You just don’t have unlimited data to swim around in. Not that that’s really better…

If you are a heavy user, it can easily be worth more than that under VZW’s new data pricing structure. Some people use 12-20GB a month, while extreme data users use much more than that.

That entirely depends on how reliant the customer is on data. If they are using it as their primary source of internet or streaming a lot of media, they’ll more than likely spend more under VZW’s new data pricing structure if they upgrade at a subsidized price and switch to the new shared data pricing. I don’t abuse data by no means, but it sure is tempting to get my moneys worth since I’ll be paying full retail price to keep my unlimited data. Of course I’ll buy it from anybody but VZW if I’m paying full retail price and have the option to drop VZW whenever I feel like it.

Verizon is going to piss off a lot of unlimited data plan customers and make them less likely to upgrade phones when they are eligible. For me, who hasn’t ever taken advantage of the unlimited data plan, I’ll just make it worth the full retail price I’m going to pay with the option of dropping Verizon whenever I like. So cheers to Verizon.

$330 isn’t bad… I just left the Verizon store and my plan would have gone up $50/month.

I can update in a year and my contract ends in a little over 16 months. By that time I’m sure unlimited will be gone.

“Share Everything” would have made sense when you had more than one smartphone on a plan, all having $30 UNLIMITED data plans.. It’s unlimited, so why pay for multiple unlimited data plans, when it could be shared among the devices?

They won’t let me add a new line to my existing plan. So they are forcing me into this shared plan even though it is not June 28 yet. What is up with that.

You know part of the data problem is everything your smart phone does is in the cloud so they aren’t able to disable the data from your phone or it wont work—the info they collect like where your at, your speed what you look at everything is sold to businesses and insurance companies for a profit and can be used against you in suits to prove your indiscretions on the road how many miles you drive just like the onstar everyone likes in there cars and even if you dont pay for that service onstar is still collecting data — look it up– so there profits are going up from this venture and they are blaming it all on us end users — have you ever read what some of those apps collect for info — so between law enforcement and just insurance companies gathering info what else will ride on the tails of us paying the higher rates — if you have a data plan don’t use it for a while and check your data usage it still rises.. so it comes down to us paying for data they use for profits —

Does this count as changing our contract, not offering the unlimited to continue if we already have it. can we cancel early because of that and not pay the ETF?

Everyone go with TMobile or cricket and maybe Verizen will see whats going on and give us our unlimeted back. I paid over $700 for my phone just to keep unlimited. Next tim i upgrade or renew i loose it. I only have 6 months till 2 years. Been with them 10 years. They need to learn they cant cut us out of money!!!

Stick $20 dollars a week in a savings account for 1 year and you will have $1040 for your next smart phone. If you can’t afford to save $20 a week for a year you shouldn’t have a smart phone because you can’t afford it.

Then why do you have an expensive cell phone that you “don’t really need”? It might better serve you to use a feature phone and save that money for more important things.
