Now that the unlimited data plans have increased, are we able to buy subsidized phones again?

[whitchcock1112]

I know that my data plan has been increased from $29,99 to $49.99. This is fine because it is still cost effective, but does this price increase allow us "grandfathered" customers to purchase subsidized phones and keep our unlimited data plans? Or do we still have to pay full price to upgrade our phones and keep our unlimited data plans?

You can opt to do device payment plan but you will be paying full retail. You can not get a subsidized device and keep unlimited data

Yah so you can get any Apple products directly through apple with a payment plan.  I personally am not giving Verizon a penny more than I absolutely have to.

The payment plan from Apple still has you paying the full retail price of the phone over a period of months.

Unless you opt to upgrade every year...then you have to look at it as a lease program

IF you have looked into Apple's own fiancing offer, it includes the cost of Apple care plus, which extends the warranty on the iPhone And adds damage protection.  It also gets you in line for an upgrade to the next iPhone if you like to upgrade yearly. 

Worth looking into Since all carriers expect customers to pay retail price for their phones, might as well look for the fringe benefits.
