Any change in tiered data plans in near future ?

Hello Everyone,
I am looking forward to getting an android phone and my data usage limits are quite limited. I was wondering if verizon will compete with ATT on the data plans structure.
No matter what is being said on 200 MB not enough on a data plan, one can find many posts where people want to have lower limit data plans to afford them. Since Verizon and ATT have always been competitive in their plans and costs, is there a possibilty that Verizon will bring $15 - 200 MB Data plan to compete with ATT in order to may be retain or add more customers in that class. That way you can still have the customers who are looking to switch from basic calling plans to smartphones & then there is always the bigger cap plans who thinks 200MB is not enough.
I like verizon's network & coverage but ATT's pricing is quite attactive. It would be ironic to switch to ATT to later find the same plan on verizon.
Thanks,

VZW tried this last year. It was a major flop in that those who did choose the lower limited plan, were screaming on here wanting their bill credited for their overages.
In short, VZW listened, they offered, subs did not like it and VZW pulled it. Yet the few left who have it are grandfathered.

  • Record about my phone (bought in Verizon store and connected to Verizon for 4 years) has been corrupted and now I can not make any changes to my data plan. Several sessions with the technical support and management have not resolved this issue. Each time

    Record about my phone (bought in Verizon store and connected to Verizon for 4 years) has been corrupted and now I can not make any changes to my data plan. Several sessions with the technical support and management have not resolved this issue. Each time technical people and top managers promised that this issue will be resolve tomorrow and they will cal me. Nothing happend!! I can not even cancel my service not just to upgrade it. Completely locked. 
    Any advice?
    Thanks.

    Cannot figure out what your talking about since it makes no sense.
    If you are the account owner you can go to the My Verizon web portal http://www.verizonwireless.com
    You must log in with your cell number and your my Verizon portal password. Not the account pin.
    Once there you can change your plan and services. However repeated incorrect login attempts will lock you out of the site. It a fraud prevention measure.
    1-800-922-0204 call support with your cell number and or account number and account pin and they can assist you.
    If you don't have the information then there is nothing they can do.
    If you can verify who you are they may be able to reset your account access. But only if you are the account owner.
    Good Luck

  • Has anyone here gotten any notification from VZW that tiered data plans are coming on July 7?

    I have heard on the internet, as well as my TV local newscast, but not once have I gotten an email, text, phone call or postcard in the mail that there will be tiered data plans beginning 7/7/11. I am not one to complain about vzw, but I have to say something here; this is to say the least pi** poor customer service. Here we are t minus 6 days and counting, and I haven't heard one peep from VZW. I hate to think that they are trying to catch people off guard with tiered data, but their silence just reinforces that fact.

    There is absolutely no reason for Verizon to notify current customers who are under contract. Anyone who shops for a new contract will know what their options are and what the prices are.
    That actually makes a lot of sense! 

  • New tiered data plans suck

    I just wanted to vent my feelings about this ridiculous change.  I filed a complaint with the FCC as well and urging any VZW users I know to do the same.  This has got to stop at some point and I've about taken all the crap I can from big business.
    I feel I need to mention that I average way less than 1GB of usage per month.  The problems with your "tiered" data are that:
     It doesn't cost us any less and there aren't any cheaper options.  In fact, it's a price increase in disguise.  It's hard to swallow when the price of bandwidth and transport costs continue to decline yet we are shafted with price increases.
     If you are going to charge me for 2GB of data then give me my 2GB.  If I only use 1GB then roll the other 1GB over.  After all, I did pay for that bandwidth.  Your 2GB tier over the course of a year is 24GB.  If I average just 12GB but went over the 2GB for just one month, I will get hit with an overage charge.  I am just not sure how this is fair to me as a consumer and how anyone can even justifty this.
    If you want to do away with "unlimited" plans then just charge for what is actually used.  But then, of course, I'll only be paying for the data that I use and not donating money for the data I don't use.  I don't understand why Verizon thinks it's OK to rip off customers like that.
    I used to have nothing but praise for "Big Red".  Lately though, I've had nothing good to say.  You guys have done away with the New Every 2 loyalty perks, introduced garbage tiered data plans that aren't even competive and various other things.  The excuse to justify all of this is something along the lines of "Everyone else is doing it".  Assuming that point is valid (I don't believe it is), you should leave well enough alone to keep yourselves distinguished from everyone else.  Instead you're lowering yourselves to the same subpar standard as the others.

If the cost per MB drops by 50%, but you then use a 5 times as much data, the total cost of the data has in fact increased 2 and a half times. I'm not saying this is the actual decrease in cost per MB or the actual increase in the amount of data for the average user, but ALL reports for data usage have said they are increasing at the same time that the cost per MB is decreasing. This is just to show that the TOTAL cost of the data isn't necessarily decreasing.

Especially when the company that DOES give you roll-over minutes DOES NOT give you roll-over data.

There are 3 levels on data plans. With the minute plans there are 3 levels and an additional level for unlimited.

  • Autopay account fails to make payment after account changed on UNLIMITED DATA PLAN

    Auto pay feature fails to make payments without any logical reason:  About 7 months ago I changed my account using My Verizon webpage.  It has repeatedly failed to make a payment, resulting in over-charges and Verizon imposing a cash-only status for six months.  My bank - and Verizon - confirmed that account information was correct, and no one could account why this was occurring, but read on!  I believe this is more than a billing company or computer-generated glitch.  I have an unlimited data account that was started years ago, and I believe many of you who have these accounts may be having the same billing issue.  It is the prerogative of wireless carriers to now make huge profits by selling variable data plans from people needing more data bandwidth per month - in fact - it is projected that we will use 3000 GB/month by 2017!  New accounts cost way more than my month-to-month; they lose money on people like us.  I believe wireless carriers are trying every tactic they can to eject "unlimited data customers" from their plans.  Having a lapsed billing cycle is one way the contract can dissolve. 
    I believe these repetitive mysterious auto-pay failures are very result of in-company tampering to disrupt service.  Unfortunately, Verizon did not know that I am a consumer advocate...I know, you are thinking they don't give a... who you are, they are powerful.  I have been taking on such companies, including the CEO's of large companies like ATT, USAA, etc. since 1998.  I have reported thousands of products, services and individuals on 10 global consumer websites in three languages during those years, and used federal and international agencies.  Law enforcement globally has often been used to arrest and convict many online criminals and even foreign pirates.  With a law-enforcement background, and in a family of four powerful attorneys, two judges and two law-enforcement agents - I have an edge on resources and knowledge even powerful companies do not have.  Yes, I am an expert in making life difficult, to impossible for many individuals who under-estimate me.   I wasn't about to have a cash-only punitive measure impounded on me, when I could legally verify from my bank; and from electronic forensics of the Verizon website that the bank information, including a consistent balance of $10 - 17k in that account. Verizon then requested a fax letter from my bank verify the account information so it could be used; just another tactic to harass me.  This type of request is a throwback from the 1980's before electronic communication.
    This said, I am suspicious that this may be happening to many more customers than me.  If it is, I would like to hear about this.  Please post experience, and if you also have an unlimited data contract, so I can make an analysis of it.  If I am right, then our collective allegations can be used to generate appropriate complaints and investigations by agencies governing business conduct and licensing of wireless providers, to include possible class-action suits, as well as civil suits, regardless of what your contract states.

        JEMAWOD, there's no need to be suspicious. We want to make sure that all of your concerns are addressed. The cash only status on your account will not affect your option to keep the Unlimited data plan. Cash only status is prompted when two payments within a 6 month time period are returned by your financial institution. However, this status is removed after 6 months of good pay history. Did you verify the banking information that you provided when you set up Auto pay? Did you have a chance to contact your bank to verify why those payments were returned?
    I hope that the information that I've provided is helpful to you.

  • I'm in the process of ordering the droig x:  any info on what data plan to select?

    I don't have much experience with data plans so I don't know which of the twodata plans to select.  I'd like to not pay for unlimited if possible.
    I plan using theX for  internet access for emails and browsing but also the google navigator from time to time.
    any info on how to estimate the data usage per month would be appreciated.
    thank you

    you will need the 29.99 plan as a minimum.
    if you want to connect your computer to the internet with it, then add the tehtering plan, ithink its another 15

  • Connecting My Droid 3 to WiFi -- Does It Use Any of My 2gig Data Plan?

    I finally purchased my first smart phone, the Droid 3.  I'm curious about connecting my phone to the internet using my WiFi network at home.  If I connect my phone to my home network to download apps/videos/web pages, will it use up any of my 2gig monthly limit?  I really can't afford more than $30 a month for data, so if WiFi doesn't use my my quota, it will really be fantastic.  I'm really new to smart phones, so I don't know too much about them.   Thanks for the advice, in advance!

    I would also suggest reading up on what eats up data. 2 gigs is a pretty good amount of data for the average user. However, streaming music or video when you're not on wifi can burn through it real quick. Also, monitor your data use closely for a while until you get familiar with how much you are using so there aren't any surprises when you get your bill. There's a number you can call to check on data use or you can check it on your "my Verizon" account.

  • What happened to International Unlimited Data Plan for $64.99?

    I am confused about international data plans,
    I get that the $64.99 unlimited international data plan
    is probably gone even if you were able to grandfather in the
    unlimited $29.99 data plan currently.
    I understand that Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, and even Europe
    have $30 to $100 dollar tiered data plans. But how about Asia?
    Specifically I am wondering about JAPAN.
    I was using a global 3G Motorola Droid 2 in January 2011 on
    a unlimited data plan for $64.99 because Japan uses CDMA.
    All I see on Verizon's website is that Japan seems to now
    only be data accessible via a $20/MB pay per MB system
    with any smartphone including an iPhone 4.
    So thats it?!
    The "Occasional Global Traveler" doesn't have any global value plans other than the ones I already can access???
    (I don't want to risk losing the unlimited $30 data plan on my smartphone)
    Theres no option for me to prepay for international data allowance, at ANY price???
    (I'm surprised Verizon doesn't extend the same data allowances in Asia as they do for Europe, Canada, & Mexico now)
    My only other option is to have my phone unlocked to work with international 3G SIM cards from other countries???
    (I get that this is likely a cheaper option anyway than going thru Verizon, but what a hassel)
    4G LTE is the next wireless global standard that Verizon leads the way in, so why limit its potential with 3G???
    (Cutting back on 3G global data roaming capability will only choke 4G adoption around the world, am I wrong?)
    So Verizon wants me to use Wi-Fi when roaming, well Wi-Fi doesn't give me voice calls using my cell number right???
    (Skype, Google Voice, Tango, Gizmo5, and TruPhone are cool but doesn't do what I need, am I asking for too much?)
    I am in need of a non-third party work around solution backed by a reputable company like Verizon please.
    Thank you,

    Yes, that really is the way to go.   It is only a little hassle. Getting it unlocked is easy if you are a Verizon customer (the many complaints on here come from people trying to get it unlocked abroad, which seems to be hard because of a change verizon made).  Then, depending where  you go, you need a local SIM or a regional SIM.  In some places this is very easy, others a little harder.
    But the savings are large.  I did this even before the global plan went away a voice calls are so much cheaper with local SIMs.
    (Using my D2G now in the UK, data and voice work fine with a local SIM, just having a little trouble with Wifi, not sure why!)

  • Can anyone help me with this: my daughter lost her unlimited data plan when I used her upgrade.

    My daughter lost her unlimited data plan when I used her upgrade to buy a new phone (upgrade transfer). She didn't upgrade her phone, I did. No one told us this was going to happen and the first I knew of it was when I got a letter in the mail telling me of the change. We went back to the store where we bought the new phone and they put in 2 requests for her unlimited plan to be reinstated, but both were denied. They then told us to call Customer Care, but Customer Care doesn't care. Does anyone else have any experience of this and know of any recourse we may have? Thanks for any help you can give me.

    She didn't upgrade her phone, but you did by using her upgrade.  It's her contract that then gets extended, not yours.  And, unfortunately, as of last June, whenever you sign a new two-year contract, you lose your unlimited data.  You can try to reverse the upgrade and get the unlimited data restored if within 30 14 days, but since Verizon has discontinued the unlimited data plans for everyone, I'm not sure how successful you'll be.
    For what it's worth, to keep unlimited data (at least for now; rumor has it that it may be completely gone next summer), you don't want to sign a new two-year contract, but pay full retail price, get the phone elsewhere (like ebay), or use an upgrade from a phone that's on a tiered data plan.
    It's 14 days, tiki.  Otherwise they are out of luck.

  • Ipad 3 Suddenly Using Data Plan Uncontrollably / Exhausting Data Plan

    I have an iPad 3 (64 GB) for a year, and previously an iPad 2, both with AT&T data plans. Never before have I had the following happen, after a couple of years using a 1-3 GB data plan. And I've never had ANY problem with my data plans before or unusual usage. (My iPads have been trouble free too.)
    I used my iPad late Saturday night and went to bed. Normally I close all apps, but not always. My 64GB iPad is nearly full and I just got a warning from Apple about my iCloud storage being almost full.
    When I woke up Sunday AM, all my data (about 2/3rds of 3 GB) had been used up.  When I called AT&T, that confirmed that my dataplan had run continuously from about my time of going to bed up until the morning when it ran out of data, about 10 hours total.  They couldn't give me more details than that.  The person I spoke to didn't seem very knowledgable about iPads but we did discuss that possibly an app ran in the background or an advertisement on a webpage, and this 'ate' my data uncontrollably. 
    At&T gave me 250 MB of data complimentary to help me troubleshoot the problem. I made sure everything was closed, everything was backed up, synced, etc. (as I normally would,) then I rebooted my iPad.  I made sure my data monitoring programs (which had previously been uninstalled since I never used them, but I reinstalled DataUsage,) and IMMEDIATELY my data started being sucked up. I was a third through 250 MB in maybe 2 minutes.  I was also watching the "Usage"  in my iPad's "General - Usage - Cellular Usage" area and as I kept rezero-ing it, it just kept jumping up to 1000 KB, most of it as 'sent', in jumps of about 200 KB every couple of seconds before I would reset, over and over.
    I finally turned off cellular data and here I am.
    Does anyone have a 'roadmap' to specifically troubleshoot this? I am not sure when/what last apps were updated. (Is there a way to pull this info up?)
    ANY help will be so much appreciated.  I am having some trouble finding information on how to troubleshoot this.
    I so also have an iPhone5, and nothing unusual going on there from what I can tell (I had them review my data usage there, and all seems 'normal'. Same for cellular, calls, texts, etc.)
    Should I just go to an apple store?

    When I am home, I am celluar only at this point. I was not connected to wifi at the location where the cellular data was used to exhaustion. So being on cellular and leaving it on overnight is something I've done for almost 2 years and never had a problem like this.
    Is there a way to troubleshoot what apps might have been using that data, specifically? Or whether it was repeatedly checking email (which would be a new problem, since all my email previously has been normal and fine previously and I haven't changed any aspect of that for ...probably a year.
    Is there a new glitch out there that might have caused this? That's more what I'm curious about. Or a way to methodically go back and see what specifically was using that data. Can I do that? Is there something out there that will tell me what it was?
    Thanks so much Tom! That is a great answer under different circumstances

  • I have a mifi 2200 that runs 3g. My data plan is unlimited. I've had the plan for years. The problem is my device is damaged and wont charge correctly. I wanted to just outright buy a newer device to replace it with but verizon tells me I cant do that bec

    g

    If you purchase any of the 4G LTE capable mobile broadband device (USB modem, mifi, Jetpack, etc), you will be forced to change your data plan to a tiered data plan. The unlimited mobile broadband data was not allowed to be grandfathered in when activating a 4G LTE device. If you really want to keep that plan for the time being, you have to purchase another Mifi2200 from a third party site/seller.

  • Does 4g phone work with grandfathered in unlimited data plan?

    I am out of contract (month-to-month service) with an unlimited data plan that is grandfathered in. I don't want a new contract, because I don't want to loose my unlimited data plan, so I'm going to buy a new smartphone for full price without contract. I've done this before, by simply activating the new phone online for free. My concern is that I am using a 3g phone, and most phones are 4g, so will a 4g phone work with my current data plan?
    note: It is a $29.99/month fee for unlimited data (grandfathered in before 7/7/11)
    <Discussion moved from 4G LTE to My Verizon for more exposure.>

    My wife and i just upgraded our phones at a Best Buy and they changed our plan to a 2gig plan telling me that there was no unlimited plan. Do you have any idea why this is? I have had unlimited data plans for years now but it looks like i have been forced or tricked into getting a 2 gig plan. Any advise?
    This is because Verizon has discontinued unlimited data plans UNLESS you pay full retail for your phone. If you notice, my last reply was from 1 year ago. Verizon's policy on unlimited data changed in, I believe, June of 2012 at which point unlimited was only kept if you paid full retail for a new phone and did not have to sign a new contract.
    Now if you sign a new contract, you lose your unlimited data and have to choose from a tiered data plan starting at $30 for 2GB or switch to the Share Everything plan.

  • I'm thinking about using an iPad mini with data plan as a cell phone replacement, using Skype for phone service.

    Seems like a less expensive alternative, with fewer devices.  Thoughts?

    If you want to stay with your current plan, you would have to add 3 tiered data plans for the new smartphones. These would be $30/month(2 GB of data for each phone) for each of the data plans, increasing your bill by $90/month to $226/month for your total bill.
    If you were to switch to the Share Everything plan, you would have an access fee of $40 for each of the lines for a total of $120. This would give you unlimited talk and text. On top of the $120, you would have to add a bucket of shared data which ALL of the phones would be able to access. For $80/month, you could get a bucket of 6 GB of data to be shared between all of the phones. So far that would bring your bill to $200/month. With taxes, it should end up being about the same cost as your old plan with the benefit of having unlimited minutes. If you find yourself using less data, you can cut your data cost by lowering the amount of shared data. For example, $70/ month for 4 GB of shared data. If you find yourself using more data, you can add more data, for example $90/month for 8 GB of shared data or $100/month for 10 GB of shared data instead of $80/month for 6 GB of shared data.
    If you have any employee discounts available, these would ONLY come off the data portion of the Share Everything plan. Discounts on your current plan would not change if you currently have any.
    Decisions, decisions...

  • Incorrect Data Overage Charges on my wife's phone after forced to tiered data

    My billing cycle starts on the 1st of the month.  I upgraded my wife's phone from a Droid X to an iPhone 4S on 7/2.  I was told at that time that she would lose her unlimited data and be placed on a 2gb tiered data plan at the same price.  Fine for her since she has never gone near 2gb in several years of smart phone use.  I never set up wifi on her old phone since she had unlimited data and it wasn't a concern for me.  Once getting switched to the new plan I set up wifi so when she is at work or at home she is automatically connected to wifi for her data usage.  Looking at the usage report on verizon's bill for her old phone she used 1071mb for June which was actually a high usage month for her but still nowhere near 2048mb (2gb).  Her first month on her new data plan she used 795mb according to the Data Usage Report (which they conveniently don't give a total for) which I exported to Excel and added the column.  Then for August's bill the usage report for her phone totals 440mb.  On the August bill they show an "Unbilled Usage from Previous Months" bill for $10 on top of the $30 we pay for the 2gb Data Plan
    July Data
    August Data
    I like how they show an exact usage on my phone which is still on an Unlimted Data Plan but her's which is on a Tiered Data Plan they just round up conveniently to the next GB.  Even if you add up there Unbilled and Current Usage it only adds up to 2048mb which is the limit.  So she did not exceed it!
    I called in and complained about the bill and the first CSR was trying to hand me off to a Tech Support saying the charges are accurate.
    I told her this is a Billing issue not a Tech issue and I would like to talk to a Supervisor.  After several minutes of arguing about the charges with the Supervisor he said he could credit the $10 back to me since he didn't want to continue arguing with me.  I told him I will just be in the same boat next month and having to dispute the false charges all over again burning more of my time.  I told him I would like to cancel my NFL Mobile on my phone at this time since my bill is so high and we got to talking about football which calmed both of us down.  Then I pleaded my case again about the bill which he eventually could see the issue and agreed that there is some sort of billing issue going on. 
    Just wanted to put this up so that if someone else is in a similar situation that they know this is not ok and others are being billed in-accurately as well.
    I have attached the spreadsheets straight from Verizon's site so you can tally them up for yourself as well and see that my wife only used 795mb of her allowed 2048mb (2gb) plan and was being charged overage charges. This is a pretty good gimmick since if you do this to even a couple 100k customers it would add up quickly to millions of dollars...
    I am completely fed up with Verizon now after being with them for 15+ years, I was not happy about the non-grandfathering anymore of unlimited data and now being wrongfully billed for data overage charges when she didn't go over her allowed usage. 
    I am thinking of making a FCC and BBB complaint to see if I can get out of my contract with them.

    For someone who spends soo much time on this forum I would expect you to know more about what you are talking about
    My wife's wifi radio is always on and her phone DOES automatically connect to our wifi and her work wifi as soon as she is near it.  I can videotape it if you need more proof.(don't understand your point anyways as even according to Verizon's usage report she did not come near 2GB of data)
    If you read my very first sentence I state that my billing cycle starts on the 1st of the month and the phone was purchased on the 2nd (don't understand your point anyways)
    I state in my original post that Verizon rounds up the data on her phone to the nearest GB instead of giving an exact amount used on the bill (so thank you for pointing out the obvious)
    Point being, she used 440mb  and we were charged data overage charges of $10 and I am sure that this is not an isolated incident.

  • I dont want to lose my Unlimited data plan :(

    I been a VZN customer going on five years now, probably nothing compared to some of the other customers on here. I currently own a iPhone 4, my plan that i have is a 900min, unlimited data and text. I know since back in June, Verizon was ending the unlimited data plan and I'm pretty upset with that, which I am sure a lot of you are as well. I been thinking of what i can do besides buying a used 4G phone or paying full retail. I dont have a dummy phone or another line to upgrade, i have called VZN of different matters including my plan, apparently the new plans wouldnt be good fit for me in the sense of the tiered data plans, last month i used 10.5GB, I was like holy hell, i couldn't believe it haha. So I am stuck and i want a new 4G phone but i dont want to give up my unlimited data plan, believe or not i have read some articles online about how customers have been able to keep their unlimited data plan after June and upgrade to a new phone, i mentioned this to the Rep. and they mentioned that YES in some Super RARE occasions they have seen customers keep there old plans with new phones but no clue on how.
    So if there are any Reps reading this and can help me, Please respond or anybody have some thoughts.

    To me that's silly. Ok it's $9.99 for the 2nd line. I my area with the taxes and fees, it's just under $14 per month. Basically $165 a year to get a phone at a discount. So if one keeps the phone 20 months did one save anything vs just paying full price upfront? Even if one saved as it worth all that hassle?
