[Updated] Verizon To Officially Reveal Tiered Data Plans July 7th; Plans Leaked Below

This sucks. I regularly stream Netflix and Pandora. I go through about 2-3 gb's a month no problem. Guess I'm stucking buying phone full price. What should I buy on July 6th as my last with-contract-priced phone?

wireless providers.

$30 for 2GB? That's absurd, it should at least be 5GB for that much. Looks like I'll be looking somewhere else once I need a new phone.

Well that sucks. I wonder what they're going to charge if you go over.

Can I get a little help understanding all this?

How does this affect family plans?

Does this only apply to phones purchased after vzw officially sets these into stone?

Grandfather clause?


Thanks in advance.

From everything I've read...
$10 per GB if you go over.

to be honest I saw this coming. But here is my take. Since I am on a tiered data plan then i should be able to use a wifi tethering app. I am paying for my data and I should not have to pay an extra 20 bucks to do it. So If i go tiered Ill get the 5gig plan and I will not feel guilty using a pdanet or wifi tethering because I am actually now paying for the data I am using and I should be able to use it how I want.

Ps: This is not a green light to start a back and forth bicker about the tos.

I know you guys are emotional but please watch the language.

@beardface-- i totally understand your aggression towards the tetherers that most likely ruined this for everyone, and i am by no means trying to start a feud with you, but do you think this is the only way? i mean come on, those prices are ridiculously inflated.. do you agree?

Unless there is a family plan, where the family can buy 2GB for $30, everybody gets screwed. My wife uses less than 200MB a month and I have never used more than 600MB. If we can pay $30 for a shared 2GB then it is a big win for us. If we each have to pay $30 then we get no break at all and anyone who uses over 2GB a month has to pay more. I'm waiting to see the rumored family data plans, if they exist at all.
