[Updated] Verizon Plans To Eliminate 'Grandfathered' 3G Unlimited Data Plans

other than getting a 15% discount... which is $13.50 a month.... we are paying the standard amount.... 5 phones (1 basic phone) $80 for 700 minutes and unlimited text.... $30 for data x's 4 (1 is unlimited).... About 1 month ago, we went down to the 700 minutes. We did not get any special discounts... so we are comparing "apples to apples" I was wrong about the $225 (that was 2 basic phones and 3 smart) I forgot to add my husbands new data plan..... so it would be $255? before discount....

But if we have 12gb data + unlimited right now, we can NOT get anything close to $250 on the share everything.....$250 a month would give us 2gb data to share.....

It looks like your price per month before taxes and fees is $280. No savings for you, but VZW has more of your money. :-(

I don't know what's the need anymore fighting for UD.... It's not as fun as its used to be. Many Companies knelt down to Verizon's demand where many Videos applications need to be connected via Wifi in order to work. ICS release via OTA was so buggy and flash is not as good as its used to be either. Since I don't have texting fee, Verizon will charge me $$$/texting received. With Gingerbread, I can turn off texting feature in call settings. With ICS, I can't find the option to disable. Every calls I receive now will give me three options ( Answer, text, and ignore). I suspect human error in clicking the wrong button soon. The same horrible experience I had when I owned BB Storm, where I contacted 911 even though the phone was in its pouch. Let's hope things get better fast.

Looks like those that pre-ordered the GSIII with promises of unlimited upon delivery might be getting very angry:

Eek... Can they go back and deny an order like that after it has already been processed, and when they said orders placed before the 28th can keep their plans? I mean, I k ow they can... They can do whatever they want... But this just screams slimeball tactics...

Seems to be a few isolated incidences of it happening, but it can be fixed:
