Unlimited data + bionic for $0.01 or 2 gig limit + pay $250 for Bionic?

[combres]

I need some help deciding whether to pounce on this $.01 amazon deal for a bionic and give up my grandfathered unlimited data plan.

I don't think I have ever gone over 250 megs a month with my Droid x...

The free phone is so tempting.

Help.

How would you be giving up your unlimited plan?

Im assuming your talking about adding a line to your account? If that's the case just transfer the Bionic to your line and grab a cheap dumb phone off of craigslist to throw on the new line so you can cancel the data package.

That's what I did!

Also, if you're thinking about using the Zumocast app when you're out and about, I'd definitely reconsider getting rid of unlimited data. Streaming music and videos from your pc to your phone over 4GLTE is definitely gonna eat up some bandwith.

no matter what don't lose the unlimited ... 4g chews up data like crazy
... im over 2gb every month where as with 3g phones I was no where as close.... I don't stream music and just youtube watching at most

Yeah you are going to want to keep that unlimited plan. Im glad I have it. I use over 6GB a month according to the :Verizon data app. I watch a good amount of Youtube and Netflix because I work over nights

Its simple, faster networks + Faster phones = way more data usage!!! Also, when most phones are 4g and apps are written to take advantage of 4G speeds thats also going to increase data usage dramatically.

That's why even though I've only used a maximum of 792mb in the last six months, I made sure to upgrade to unlimited before they took it away. There is no guarantee that its ever going to come back.

I pretty much always use a good amount of data. when I had my droid x 3 g I used anywhere from 5 to 10 gigabytes a month streaming netflix youtube or just wireless tethering to my xbox for netflix and hulu.

My first month of having my bionic also my first month of 4 g I used 40 gigabytes using zumocast, netflix, hulu plus, watch espn..... 4 g is awesome but having an unlimited plan is almost necessary
