Grandfathered Unlimited plan question

[SickFreak]

Considering that I still haven't gotten any notification from VZW - and 15 Nov is now less than 30 days away, I can't see this as the absolute date.  Now maybe those people with billing cycles starting on the 15 are being notified and I'll be notified later this month - which means that the new price won't start for me until later next month.

Of course, since VZW won't have the new Windows 10 devices, I'm switching anyways....

Best wishes at your new carrier which won't have unlimited data.

"Best wishes"  Who the heck are you to be a smart*** to someone you don't know?  New carrier will be cheaper and have unlimited data.  Adding $20 to every phone in my family was a huge corporate mistake.   Pherson you are vagina.  Just fyi.

They don't have "unlimited"  per say. If you use over a certain amount they set your priority to 0 and if anyone is set higher you bandwidth slow down. This is something Verizon doesn't and can't do.  Good luck at your next carrier and hope they have the coverage you need.

Additionally. No one really needs cell phones. It's a convenience.

That's great if you are able to get truly unlimited data with another provider for less. Makes this price increase a positive. But you do need to make sure you read the fine print for the unlimited plan with the new provider. Sometimes it's unlimited for mostly slow speeds after a small amount of high speed data...and for some that may be a deal breaker. But for those that it doesn't bother then it's absolutely the way to go.

Verizon's Arrogance losing them another loyal customer!  They claim that they put notice on the statement, but I pay electronic and don't see the statements.  They text me about everything else and could have easily texted for this. However, I would not have thought it meant me because I am on a two year commitment. When I called they say the commitment does not cover the data plan, but if I cancel I pay a termination fee??? They want it both ways.  Either you are on a contract or not!   I did not upgrade my phone because I did not want to lose my unlimited plan.  Now the only thing they have available is a 2GB plan for the Same Price and overage charges. They are counting on them.  I am of course furious and will change companies very soon. A 70% increase is unacceptable!  And it is not even great service. I guess they do not care about 20+ year customers. I was told that we are only 1% of their business and they don't care. I will gladly take my $2,500 a year to another provider.

So [removal required by the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service].

Went from two older phones on unlimited to 2 more new ones for my kids to be on a family plan since they jacked our data package up...

This [removal required by the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service].  My boy used 2 gigs by himself  this evening looking at YouTube in the car...

They need to give us a lot more data for [removed] us out of the bushes limited data plan...  15+ year loyalty meant [removed] to them..

You can download your statements from the Verizon Wireless website.
