So I finally had to switch from my unlimited data plan to a 2gb data plan. I don't have internet at home so I can't switch to wi-fi there to use less data. Is there a way to have a Data Blocker or something into tricking Verizon into thinking you are using less data than what you are?

No way. As soon as you power on your phone it connect to Verizon network...and then they got you:)

No, just paying for what you use. Not sure why you had to give up your unlimited data...I guess you upgraded your phone. Lets face it, they've devised a system that "the average bear" can't get around. I guess we have a choice...cheap, subsidized $600.00 phones for ~$200.00 or we pay to use their network/technology.

Leave some room with your data cap. Some have found the network count is slightly different than the phone data count.

Here's where AT&T excels; they'll let old customers keep their old plan, even across upgrades.

Woah since when did transfer of liability make you feel change Plans..... I hope they at least offered you a subsidized phone.

Edit : trying swift key, so a lot of random words.

In SwiftKey settings you can change the space bar to not add predictive random (daily oxymoron) words.

This was exactly my point. I argued about this, but the 'gentleman' working said they're no longer doing that.. and had I been a crappy person I would of just left my ex with the contract and took my business to someone with an unlimited data plan.
