4G LTE Pricing?

[Raptor007]

I would expect the pricing to be announced right before or on the day the first LTE phone(s) hit. The mobile broadband plans cost the same, so hopefully that bodes well for us, but even if it is $10-15 more for unlimited I wouldn't mind, so long as the price bump does take affect until you actually have 4G in your home market. The sprint move was just a bend over job anyways.

Agreed, I could handle a $10 bump for unlimited. I'm hoping they keep the plans exactly the way they are obviously, but I could understand (and kinda expect) a slight increase.

I think a good way to handle it would be no change to the 3G data plans, but you have the option to pay $10 a month for an LTE sim. That way people can buy and enjoy the phone, than add LTE once it's available in their area (which according the VZW's 4G site should be this year for me ).

That would be frakking amazing.....

from what I've been able to find, it's $50 for 5gb of data monthly, $10 per gb over that. also saw that verizon network testers were able to burn through the 5gb in 32 minutes.

That's for their data cards only. They not have released their phone pricing yet.

well, here's hoping that it won't be as ridiculously priced for our phones.

My local verizon rep's official word on this is $29.99 a month for unlimited 3G/4G. This is likely introductory pricing, so as not to scare people away from the new LTE phones, so I would jump on board early to lock that in for a good long time. I'm 100% sure on this too.

I'm wondering this also. Bc if 4G gonna cost a crazy price or have a $30 with only 2 gigs or just 5 gigs ill get an x and wait 2 yrs til 4g goes down in price or offers unlimited at a decent price.

I'm in the same boat, I've been really leaning toward getting the Thunderbolt over the X, but if the pricing is higher, than I'm just going to get the X...

I asked this question in the release date thread but only got 1 response, so I'll just ask here as well, with the Thunderbolt, can you switch from 3G to 4G and vice versa?? I go to school in a city that will be getting 4G this year, but I come home a lot of weekends where they prob won't be getting 4G for a few years. So when I'm at school, I'll be able to use 4G but not when I go home for weekends, it would have to be 3G...just wasn't sure if you could do that..this is assuming the pricing is the same

Yes you can use 3G. Confirmed here in a few threads and on Android Central. I believe you can turn off the 4G radio if you choose to always use 3G.

my buddy has an evo and you can switch 4g off especially if your not using it or not in the area it saves a ton of battery
