I have made a decision not to take the subsidized price again. I paid retail for my GS3 so that I could keep my unlimited data. The funny part is that I only use 1 - 2 gb per month, but I be damned to have VZ make me switch plans. I need to sell my 4s to cover the difference.

good luck selling your 4s!!

I'm soooo happy I sold my 4s and now I'm a DROID loyalty owner!

The grass IS greener on the other side!!

Just because it worked for you does not mean that it works for everyone else. I save at least 100 dollers a month by not switching to their share data plan. The funny thing is is that you call use sheep but yet you are the one following what Verizon wants you to do. So who really is the sheep in this situation?

Exactly! It would have cost the wife and I at least 80 bucks more a month AND we would have lost our unlimited data. Totally not worth it! I average between 15-25 meg a month, (sometimes less sometimes more) the wife averages between 5-7 a month. "Sharing is NOT caring" in this instance. :D

I kept my unlimited data by adding a line. Then I had them switch my new GS3 to my unlimited line. Gave my son the rezound to use on the not unlimited line. Told him to mostly use WiFi. Works for me.

I think that's where a lot of our opinions differ with yours. The majority of us don't see it as trying to "beat the system", but merely trying to "keep" what is rightfully ours. We're already paying out the keister for our service, there's no way you can honestly tell me that Verizon is doing this (New price plans) "for the customer". They changed the plans to put more money in THEIR pocket. (Partly due to the recent FCC ruling regarding tethering....that's millions of dollars lost....they had to recoup it somehow)
Just my 2 cents...

How are we trying to beat the system when it is something that Verizon told us that we could do? And the reason it made sense to you to switch your plan is because you saved money so why is it not alright for me to save money. Once again just because it worked for you does not mean that it works for everyone else. Just because you switched does not make us wrong for not switching. You are not the one that gets to make the rules that we have to follow for Verizon so stop acting like you know what you are talking about.

Verizon isn't the only source of phones that work on their network. Try Craigslist. Sure, the phone will be used and probably not the latest and greatest. But it also shouldn't be costing $600 to keep your unlimited data.

I can see how some folks would save some $ with the new plans, but I'm definitely not one of them. I don't consider myself a "power" user at all, averaging 5ish gigs a month. I have one line with Verizon. Who am I going to "Share Everything" with, if I were to switch to one of their share plans? My bill would go up a lot, since I would need a little extra data tacked on.

I don't think it's even the loss of unlimited data that has many people upset. It's the exponential price increase for a paltry amount of data. $10 per gig would be much easier to swallow. That means if I only use 2 gigs in a month, I would only pay $20 though, and Verizon wants more money up front, even if you don't use the data.

For several years they have been setting the hooks, now they are beginning to reel the fish in!

Switching to the new plan would cost me $50 per month. Yes I spent extra by paying full price for my phone, but selling my old one negates the majority of the cost. I also have the added benefit of not being under a longer contract.
