Anyone under contract for more that 6 months get this plan?

Our contract was about a year in, and we have been with verizon since 2000 or 2001 and got on this plan. With a packed full family share plan we're saving $100 a month and actually 8 cents cheaper than what we were paying when we only had one data plan! Now we all have data plans and got everyone a droid just because of this new deal!

I'm glad you got the deal, however from sitting 2-1/2 years in the VZW CS side before I left, we took those switching to Sprint, AT&T, T-M, etc. very lightly, especially when we saw how many phones were still under contract. .
To be a bit more specific, I told the CS rep, in a pleasant way, that I know my contract is up in February, and my son has been urging us to switch to ATT. Perhaps that sounded a bit more definite to her, than just an idle threat to leave.
I don't blame customer for telling little white lies to the CS rep in an attempt to get the deal; to me, it's just haggling. But when I read back through this very long thread and see the many different ways the CS reps handled the requests; from outright refusal to no questions asked, it is no idle threat that I would be switching in Feb. or sooner to ATT if I couldn't get the same $40 discount that many others are getting on a two line unlimited text and data plan, only because they got the right CS rep at the right time.

I would be paying $20 more a month if i switched to this but i would be doubling my minutes,adding unlimited data ....Do you think it is worth the $20 to switch?.I just might cancel my Digital phone service from TWC if i do switch since it will be 1400 minutes and all.
Plus you'd be getting Family & Friends. Without a doubt it would be worth it if it gives you enough minutes to cancel the home line. Do you want people calling you or your house? If you want a phone number to give out when you don't want to give out your cell, get Google Voice. How far along are you on your present contract? The threat of switching to ATT worked for me. Be firm but pleasant; ask for a supervisor.

I just reupped for another 2 years like 3 weeks ago.Thing is i see evryone getting savings while i ll be payimg more lol?

sorry for asking this, but since there are 74 pages here, was wondering where is the link to the deal?

Looking to get in on VZW as a new customer.

I just got my first bill since changing over to the new plan. Although I expected an increase in the bill because of the advance pay procedure of Verizon, I was shocked to find that I was charged $29.99 for last month on a non-unlimited data line I have. This line is used by my wife who only has a feature phone at this time. I called billing and hopefully they will follow through with a refund for the mistake. So, if you switched to the promo plan and had a non-unlimited data line, you might want to check that you don't get over charged.

Thanks for the response. I've tried calling 3 times with no luck so far. I figured it was because I have a 1.5 years left on my contract. I guess I'll try one more time.

Uh, not to be mean, but did you even read the original post? There is a link at the bottom of the original post. Here it is:

This link isnt showing up for me now, is it gone or what happened???

Same thing here. Apparently not a random error. The computer did it. :icon_evil:

Guys just to let you know this is only for one year. Customers must agree to one get agreement. This does not change your upgrade date. Family shares all lines must renew one get 1yr extentions and u will still get ur discounts.

Again if u can get it great.

Been discussed many times here.

There is no end date on this plan. You do need to sign for an additional year but only if you are not already signed to a 2 year contract and are on the first year of that contract.

This plan is only active for a year I am looking at the plan details right here at work. So if you were told otherwise sorry you were misinformed

After one year the discount will automaticly fall off
