Single Line $45. plan--gone as of March 13th

Looks like it was too good to be true. A smartphone line that had unlimited talk&text plus 250mb of data for very light users. Its been taken off the website,
as of 3/13. Now, you can only get the $60 1gb single line or new $75. 2gb single line. Both have unlimited talk&text. Low use customers have just lost that
option, unless the company brings it back. I hope they do. I missed it by one day.

Typical of Verizon.  A Byzantine price structure so complicated that even Verizon reps don't understand it, then Verizon refuses to honor misstatements made by their reps.  I had three different issues trying to upgrade my lines and convert from a grandfathered family plan.  Each time I got a different story, each time the next rep refused (or was unable) to honor the offer/information provided by the previous rep.  Was told VZW would honor a sale on the Note 3 if I waited until a number port was complete, then they wouldn't (ironically I went to Best Buy and got the same deal, then Verizon reoffered the deal after I purchased from BB- too little too late), was told my employer discount would apply to the $45 250 MB plan, then after I selected that plan was told it wouldn't, was told I could switch between 250mb and 1 gb plan as needed when I traveled, well, the 250mb plan is already gone so that was wrong too. 
I've been with Verizon for over 10 years as a customer and actually sold Verizon cell phones in my electronics store before that.  VZW is rapidly overtaking Xfinity for worst customer service in the tech industry for the same reason- pricing and policies so confusing and misleading they couldn't honor them if they wanted to.  And they obviously don't want to.

  • Is mobile hotspot an available add-on option to the Single Line Smartphone Plan?

    My current plan is an ancient $35 450 minute America's Choice voice plan and a $30/mo 2GB data plan. I only picked the 2GB plan because for that family of data plans one is required to pick a 2GB plan or higher for smartphones.  This works fine for me because I don't talk much and so this combination appears to be cheaper than almost any of the currently-available plans.  Another nice aspect of this is that if I need mobile hotspot for a while I can switch to the $50/mo 4GB plan which includes it and then switch back to the 2GB plan when I don't need it.
    Just today I ran across the Single Line Smartphone plans on the VWZ website.  The 1GB plan is only $60/mo, which would be cheaper than what I'm paying now.  But it says nothing about mobile hotspot.  I realize mobile hotspot isn't included with it, but I'm wondering if it can be purchased as an add-on, and if so, for how much?  Ideally I'd like to do something similar to what I can do now -- add it when I need it and drop it when I'm done with it.
    Is any of this possible, or do I need to stick with what I have (or switch to a More Everything -- which would be silly for me because I'd be paying a lot more)?

        Mobile Hotspot is a great feature to have, QuantumMechanic! Just like you, I am all about saving! Mobile Hotspot is certainly available with all plans whether if it is an add on or embedded in a plan. Our More Everything plan with 1GB of data is actually $80.00 per month. This includes the $40 access charge for the smartphone   $40 for the 1GB data plan. I would like to look into the plan that you mentioned. I just sent you a follow request, please send me this information in a private message so that I can better assist.
    Thank you,

  • Discriminating against single line loyalty plan

    I think it's totally unacceptable that I'm not allowed to use my smart reward points to add data to my plan for 5,000 points.   I'm getting real tired of being punished because I'm in a Verizon loyalty plan for being a loyal Verizon customer.   I feel I'm being pushed to the side because I'm single person and don't have another line on my plan.   Everyone I know that has more lines got a data increase at no charge and I get nothing.  This is discrimination to a single line loyalty plan customer like myself.

    So you want to save money from the More Everything plan by having the Single Line plan but have all the benefits received with the More Everything plan? It's basically a case of choose what benefits you want the most and go with the plan that fits that. There's rarely a way in life to have everything you want.

  • Single Line $50 plan...here?

      About a month ago, the company suddenly ditched the old $45 Single Line plan, which had unlimited talk&text & 250mb data.
      Just learned from a friend that he was able to get a 1gb plan with unlimited talk and text for $50.
      I don't see that offer on this website, except for Edge customers. He is not on Edge and is keeping his current phone.
      Would appear as a nice alternative for those customers who could not get the $45. 250mb plan in time or lost it. For only $5. more and 1gb?

        We always want you to have the best options and support Geekner1! Having access to the best plans is definitely important. Unfortunately we have never offered a contract based plan that would retail for $50 with 1GB of data. However, this is a plan that can be obtained on our Prepaid Service. Please keep us posted if we can be of any additional assistance, thanks!

  • Can you split Nationwide Talk & Text to 3 $45 single line plans?

    Can one account with three lines on a 700 minute Nationwide Talk & Text plan be split into 3 of the $45 single line 250mb plans?

    There are two basic phones and one smartphone on the plan & acct, smartphone has a 2gb package.  Just looking for options to upgrade one basic to smart and not increase the bill.  More Everything with a small data package looks like an option.  I was looking at single line plans in order to squeeze a bit more data out.  But really, only one of the smartphones would be using data...
    Well your current plan should be $140 plus taxes/fees. Switching one to a smartphone would be $170.
    On More Everything 1 basic and 2 smartphones with 4 GB data would be $180 plus taxes/fees. You could get 3 GB for $170 or 2 GB for $160.

    I want to display the above data in line stacked bar graph format where the
    #Enrolled will be in Stacked Bar by Study -Site ( Y axis)
    Planned Subject should represent a single line at 50 ( Y axis)
    Group by Year and Month ( X- Axis)
    Study excluded ( Study will be selected from dashboard prompt)
    I'm getting the stacked view of Study Site ID correctly but I want Single Line for Planned Subject .
    Currently I'm getting multiple line .
    Eg for 2001/03 I'm getting line at 50 in yellow colour
    for 2001/04 I'm getting a line at 150 in different color since it has 3 Study-Site ID's But the desired output is Single Line at 50
    As per 11g doc this is not possible because there is some upgradation in the nature of the graph
    " Stacked line-bar graphs in which 2 or more measures are shown as lines on the same axis and are not stacked in 10g are stacked in 11g."

  • Dropping from traditional shared to single line without going to everything shared?

    Currently I am on a plan with two lines under the traditional family plans, not the ludicrous everything shared plans.  My question is where is the pricing for the old single lines or is it possible to cancel down to one line without getting roped into the new minimum $90 for a smart phone plans?  The only reason I need to know is I can't convince the wife to kick Verizon's over priced A' to the curb for the newer more reasonable priced SIM only GSM prepaid service offerings that have come available in the last 5-6 months like I plan to move too.
    If I recall correctly there were price points of 34.99 -39.99 450 minute single line voice plan, $10 for 1000 text, and $30 for 2GB of data.  Which at 74.99 to 79.99 might not seem like a bargain, its certainly better than $90 for 1GB of and unlimited voice and text that the line is never going to need. I had some hope for the Everything Shared Plans, but even with the same discount level they are embarrassingly overpriced for what Verizon is offering even with a corp discount. 
    I'm planning on dropping my fake Verizon Nexus, an insult to the brand really, for the genuine article GSM unlocked Galaxy Nexus straight from Google.  The reception sucks in my house on my Nexus, while my wife's Razr 16GB does decently.  Supposedly the GSM model does better with the new radios in the 4.0.4 update, I haven't seen any improvement on my Verizon model.  But even if the reception is the same, at least I'm not paying a premium price for LTE I can only use away for my house and a "flagship" Google experience device that might get Jelly Bean by end of the year if the Xoom debacle is any indication of Verizon's ability to manage a minor OS upgrade.

    Found my own answer here:https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/835055#835055\
    You get kicked to the everything shared plans, not just for new customers anymore.  Also the fact that you go from a family share plan to a single line requires a "everything shared" plan is absolutely hilarious in a tragic comedy kind of way.

  • Single Line Plan vs More Everything Plan

    I have gone to several different Verizon stores now and cannot get an answer for my questions. When I asked about the single line plan I get different answers. One store told me that the single line plan is $60/month for 2GB of data for 24 months. This same store told me that I would also receive 1 free GB of data for 24 months on the single line plan. The other store told me that they never heard of this $60 plan and told me that the single line plan would be $110/month.
    So my question is which is it? Is it $60/month for 2GB of data plus 1 free GB of data for 24 months or not?

    @LucasV Was it me? Was I the one who previously mentioned it was a device feature? I bet it was me.
    So, yeah, I agree 100% with everything you're saying above, except for the part that isn't true, which is the sad part that says I don't need anything from Verizon to use mobile hotspot. They, for some reason, have control over that particular device feature, as, (I suppose) they believe that they, as the data service provider, are providing me with some sort value-added service when I use mobile hotspot, even though it's just my phone passing data to my computer over a completely separate connection — and I've already paid Verizon for the data itself. Anyway, they've assessed the value of that particular service at about $20-30 a month, every month. Otherwise, I can't unlock mobile hotspot on my phone. Hence, my frustration.

  • Using a phone from a Family Plan to a Single Line Plan

    I am currently on a Family Plan and looking to switch to my own Single Line Plan. I would like to use my iPhone 6 and the same number on the new plan. Is this possible?

    You'd need to do an Assumption of Liability.  From this link:

  • Single line plan, how to switch and question about what rep told me.

    I just got a contract (9/3) and have the "more everything plan" - I called Verizon Cust. Care (9/4) to inquire about the single line plan, I was told by Matthew that the single line plan price is in addition to the 40.00 line surcharge, so it would be $100.00 per month. Is this information accurate, or is it only $60.00 per month (as the website states for the ) plus taxes and fees?

    The single line plan is only $60/month. There is no $40 line surcharge. You must be on the Singe Line Plan, though, not the More Everything Plan.

  • Can I change the amount of minutes on a single line plan?

    I currently have unlimited minutes on a single line plan, but I hardly use my phone to make calls. I'm trying to lower my bill by reducing the number of minutes I have but I don't see an option to change my minutes in my account. It just gives me an option to change the amount of data I have.

    I'm not sure if that's 100% accurate. I still have an old Nationwide min plan and when I log on to My Verizon I can still upgrade or downgrade my mins plan with one of the old Nationwide plans. Unless I'm misunderstanding the topic...

  • New $45 Single Line Plan

    Hello
    Perhaps this is just me but the new $45 single line plan seems like a good deal, relatively speaking, when you compare it to the other major providers and realize the consistency of the Verizon Wireless network.  However, this plan is for new customers only and is a single line plan with 250 MB of data.  However, when you look at it in a different light it is also a slap in the face to existing customers on the share everything plan.  I will use my account as an example.
    We are a very light data use family and our four iPhone Family exists on 1GB of data (no data overages).  So we pay $160 for all phones + $50 for the 1GB of data.  After my employer discount our final pre-tax/surcharge bill is $201.50.  That being said if each phone was on this $45 single line plane we would have a pre-tax/surcharge cost of $180 ($21.50 less than current share everything price), and we'd still have basically the same total amount of data, though each phone would be limited to 250MB of data rather than share a pool of 1GB, but since none of our phone have exceed 250MB we'd be likely not run into overage issues.
    Sounds great so I should switch all of our phones over to this $45 single line plan, right? Well the plan is for new customers only, so not an option.  But the bigger point is this.  Verizon just in effect dropped the price of 1GB of data to $20. So, for a similar low use data family such as mine, they will pay $180 for the same unlimited calling, unlimited texts, and 1GB of total data, but my family who has been with Verizon for several years have to pay $201.50 for is basically the same plan except that we can share our 1GB data allowance among our four phones.  At that rate a family with 8 smartphones that use up to 250MB each would still be saving money by placing each phone on the single line plan.  I thought family/share plans were supposed to save groups money because it ties more individuals to Verizon.
    I know that most are not like my family and make use of more data than us.  So for example, a family of two, currently on share everything 2GB allowance will have a pre-tax/surcharge cost of $140, but if each line was on the new $60 single line plan that comes with 1GB of data they would have a bill of $120 and they'd pay $20 less than the share everything plan they are on now. However, again this new $60 single line plan is for new customers only, according to the sales person I spoke to the other day.
    I am not complaining about the service I receive when using my phone its great and I get service almost everywhere I go, even when camping.  I am not complaining about the customer service I receive, because I always have a good experience when I call to speak to a customer service agent.  I am not complaining about the subsidized phones I have had over the years, I don't mind the contract that ensures Verizon will recoup the cost of my phone (the phone Verizon paid apple for up front on my behalf). What I am complaining about is the fact that in response to other recent price changes by the other carriers, Verizon made some slight price changes but made these lower prices only available to new customers.  In essence Verizon is basically saying, Hey existing customers you have to pay more for your data and services but new customers get to pay less so that we can lure them away from T-mobile, sprint and AT&T.  So anyway just my 2 cents (or in this case several dollars) worth as it relates to Verizon's new single line plans relative to the share everything  plans. Please feel free to comment and add your thoughts.  If a Verizon rep wants to give me the additional $30 off on my family's 1GB data allowance I will take it and be very happy.

    I disagree. You can't make judgements about people that you don't know and I have every right to DEMAND excellent Customer Service. . I have been assisted by some very helpful Verizon Customer Service representatives over the 12 years that I have given them my business. However, I have had some very bad ones too especially in their stores. I learned years ago that I could get the best CS by phone and later by using their chat system wen it
    came online. Yesterday's experience was horrible in every way though.
    I did not fully elaborate yesterday so let me do so now. Before I called Verizon CS, I used their chat system as I always do. The person I chatted
    with actually tried to get me to take a $60 per month plan with a ONE YEAR COMMITMENT.  I could not believe what I was hearing (reading actually). I
    mean really, I could have taken their prepaid plan with NO COMMITMENT and that would have made more sense. I repeatedly asked for the $45 per month plant but was told it would not suit my needs. Then, I was forced to call Verizon where I was told by another CS person that then plan I wanted did
    not exist.  I still can't get over a CUSTOMER RETENTION SPECIALIST not knowing the services that its company offers. That is inexcusable.
    Actually, her manager should be fired for not making sure his/her employees are knowledgeable. Anyway, she tried to shove different plans down my
    throat until she finally realized that I knew what I was talking about. Perhaps that is the plan along, you call to get a lower rate and they tell
    you it doesn't exist. Then, they offer you all these other plans that might save you a little but give you so much more. Hmm, I may be onto something
    there, sounds like Bait and Switch to me. How about you?
    This latest adventure has left a bad taste in my mouth. Sure, I have a $45 (before taxes and fees) per month plan now BUT I could have had that long
    ago if I switched to another carrier. True, my service might not be as good as with Verizon but my Verizon service isn't that great in my house anyway.
    Many of the other carriers don't charge taxes and fees either so their $45 per month plan truly is $45 per month. I will wait anxiously too see what
    my final monthly cost will be. Funny, my Customer Retention expert could not tell me what the monthly rate was with taxes and fees included. How can
    you not know that?
    As a developer who also codes for iOS and Android, I have several different ones laying around for testing. This weekend, I am going to activate one on
    T-Moblie and one on Straight Talk and see how the service compares to Verizon. If neither is comparable, I will look at AT&T. I have their
    U-Verse service and love the CS I get from them. I may even get a discount for bundling. Either way I am ending my long relationship with Verizon as
    soon as I find a replacement.
    I apologize for turning this thread into a rant but at the very least I feel purged by getting it out there.

  • NEW SINGLE LINE PLAN ??? WHERE IS IT????

    I see there is another question out on this...but what's the story? How does one get this plan from an existing 1 line phone I have had with my 4s for 3 years..
    I want reliable LTE service with 2 gigs of data, unlimited talk and text...  HOW DO I DO THAT ONLINE???????
    Thanks

    I tried to switch my plan to the NEW SINGLE LINE PLAN w/ 2GB for $60. The customer support agent couldn't find it. I was on phone for a long time..........on hold and then "I found it" and then "don't know what happened" and on hold and finally "found it". I thought I switched to the NEW SINGLE LINE PLAN, but saw a different "Loyalty" plan for 1 year contract. I got the 2GB though. I posted a question on the forum.

  • How do I switch from a basic phone to a smart phone on the single line plan?

    I currently have a basic phone on a basic phone plan. My contract expired ages ago, so I'm just month to month at the moment. I want to upgrade my phone to an iPhone 5c, and my plan to the single line plan--unlimited talk and text, 1GB of data. However, when I try to place this order online, it defaults automatically to the More Everything plans, which would end up costing me about $20 more than the single line plan for the same amount of data. I can't seem to change it to the single line plan. How on earth do I make the switch? O.o

    Go into a Verizon Wireless Corporate Store and do it there.

  • 2g data allowance in single line plan is only for 4g LTE or for all data using?

       I got a single line plan and an iPhone 5s a couple days ago.  I am confused the data allowance is for 4g LTE only or for all data using?  Thank you!

        Hello edsun1997
    I would love to answer this for you. You have 2 GB's to use on our network this will start over at the beginning of your cycle. If you use Wifi and turn off our network, Wifi would not go against that 2 GB bucket.
