To get back to my topic.  Regular or Pepaid?  Which does Verizon make more money on?  In both cases Verizon collects from a customer on a monthly basis.  However Verizon will offer discounts on a device upgrade if you have a regular plan, but if you want to get a prepaid device you will have to pay the full amount of it.  Taking this at face value it's apparent Verizon would rather have people get Regular plans.  This must mean they make less money from Prepaid plans.  I think this is true because someone who needs a phone service, but doesn't use their phone often can get a prepaid plan such as "pay as you go".  Maybe customers should consider themselves lucky that Verizon even offers prepaid plans such as this.  I wasn't even going to consider a prepaid plan but Verizon kind of forced me to it.  As an Android developer I had to upgrade to an Android phone.  Then Verizon tacked on a $30 data plan.  For those of you who don't know.  Verizon will lose money if they make a data plan on smart phones optional.  This is because wifi is free.

First of all Share Everything plans data is part of the plans. Second you don't really pay full price for a phone on prepaid. The highest price smartphone on pre-paid is $140. You really think a smartphone only costs $140? Also pre-paid is 3G only. You don't get the benefit of 4G data that's why it's cheaper and you're limited to which devices you can use with that plan.

As was said you can get a Share Everything plan with 250 MB of data for $60 a month and you can use ANY Verizon smartphone with it. Not sure how much cheaper you think you should be getting service for.

Also not everyone has access to wi-fi.
