If I've posted thius to the inappropriate forum, my apologies. (Please forgive the newbie ).
Anyway, I was speaking on the phone with a Verizon rep today. After hearing the reports and rumors of Verizon dropping their unlimited data plan this summer in favor of tired data plans, I had a question for Verizon. I asked the phone rep if I sign a new two year contract and upgrade to a new smartphone with the current unlimited $30 data plan, would I be grandfathered or locked in the the unlimited plan if Verizon should switch to a tiered or capped plan.
Her Verizon rep's reply:
"The contract agreement ONLY refers to your new phone pricing." Basically, she said if I upgrade to a new smartphone, and sign a contract, that will NOT grandfather me in to the unlimited data plan, should plans change in the future. So while I could be enjoying the unlimited plan after signing the deal, I could get an email 4 months down the road informing me that my unlimited will be dropped and I have the option of choosing a tiered and capped plan or reverting back to a feature phone if a capped data plan doesn't suit me.
How do you guys feel about this? I think it sucks. But then, it's appearing as if most major carriers will be phasing out unlimited eventually, doesn't it.
