Verizon told me when I purchased my thunderbolt on the 17th that any customers before the 25th would be allowed to the unlimited data packge for only 29.99 a month and grandfathered into the 29.99 a month data package for at least the next 2 years. Anybody after march 25th(2011) will have to pay based on there usage. Verizon are a bunch of rats like the oil industry.. manipulating people anyway they can.

whoever you talked to was an idiot. Verizon still has the $29.99 unlimited plan.

After reading this thread, I called back today to see if they had changed the story, and was told again that as long as the 4G data plan is unlimited for $29.99m the new phone would not affect the promo.
She also stated that they have had a problem with the promo getting knocked off for a variety of reasons, so they have set up a separate system to reinstall it for for folks who lose it for invalid reasons. (This applies too this promo only)
If anyone loses it due to phone upgrade, call 1-877-873-3278 to get it cleared up.

So people can get a plan that includes unlimited 4G usage for 29.99 until the tiered pricing plans are released? I guess that’s a pretty good deal if 4G is coming your way in the near future. I'm still a little baffled as to why I can’t just keep my plan that I just enrolled into about 4 months ago and not have any 4G connectivity added.

This is not because of the type of phone you purchased, it's because you signed a new two year contract for the phone and are now under new terms. Any company/affiliation discount will still apply though.

I don't think that's the case The promos allow you to switch between different phones (even phones purchased with contract pricing) as long as you keep the unlimited data package. The system has a certain feature code for each data package (whether it's a smartphone, blackberry or feature phone). When you switch to a 4G phone, the feature code is completely different for the Tbolt (and didn't exist in the system when the Talk and Text + Data / Smartphones Talk Free promos were running). So if you do switch, I would think it would drop off, but again there are systems in place to get it reinstated. I haven't seen anything official barring 4G phones, but I will have to double check when I go back in to work. Haven't seen this situation pop up yet.

So I just spoke with someone at the customer loyalty office again who was completely baffled as to why I was told my promotion would be revoked if I bought a Thunderbolt. They also said that if you sign a new contract that you are entitled to maintain that renewal date price structure for the extent of that contract term unless you (customer) make changes. I mentioned the following (from Verizon’s contract) after I was told this to make sure I was getting the straight scoop:
Our Rights to Make Changes
Your service is subject to our business policies, practices, and procedures, which we can change without notice. UNLESS OTHERWISE PROHIBITED BY LAW, WE CAN ALSO CHANGE PRICES AND ANY OTHER CONDITIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT AT ANY TIME BY SENDING YOU WRITTEN NOTICE PRIOR TO THE BILLING PERIOD IN WHICH THE CHANGES WOULD GO INTO EFFECT. IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE YOUR SERVICE AFTER THAT POINT, YOU'RE ACCEPTING THE CHANGES. IF THE CHANGES HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON YOU, HOWEVER, YOU CAN END THE AFFECTED SERVICE, WITHOUT ANY EARLY TERMINATION FEE, JUST BY CALLING US WITHIN 60 DAYS AFTER WE SEND NOTICE OF THE CHANGE.
The Verizon rep basically told me that everything I heard from the previous rep made no sense to her. The confusion continues.

"Loose" does not equal "lose." It's everywhere online...
Your wife is loose....don't lose your wife to another man...or woman. Thank you. That is all.
