Switching from the plan I just upgraded to back to my grandfathered unlimited data plan

I was forced into a new plan when I upgraded in January when before I had unlimited talk/text/data. I was unaware I was able to keep my grandfathered unlimited data plan because the sales representative just said my plan was not offered anymore (and with me as a customer unaware that we are able to keep our original plan when signing up it frustrates me that a representative would do such to their customers) and I'm wondering if I could get that plan back as I am somehow going over 4GB when I do nothing different than I did before (with unlimited data I still only used about 3-3 1/5 GB every month) I'm very unhappy with the change and am contemplating leaving Verizon if I am not able to change back as my bill is $80 more than previously.

You can only keep you unlimited plan if you paid full price for the phone you upgraded to. So even if Verizon would let you switch back to you old unlimited data plan you'd still have to pay full price for the phone. You got $400 lying around to do that?

Help--did I just give up my grandfathered unlimited data plan?

Hello all,
I just bought an iphone 4s--upgraded from a Droid smartphone. On my old bill my data plan is "email & web unlimited" for $29.99. Did I made a mistake when ordering the new phone--I clicked on the 2G plan and that is what is shown in my order. Did I just give up my grandfathered plan? I really don't understand all this stuff. Could someone help me understand if that "email & web unlimited" was the grandfathered unlimited data plan I keep seeing discussed on this forum? Does that allow me to upload pictures, stream radio/movies, etc.? Or do I really need one of the tiered plans like the 2G? I will try to revise my order through customer service if need be. Thank you so much.

No, this is not the grandfathered unlimited plan. As soon as you activate your phone, you should call Verizon and have your unlimited plan reinstated. The 2GB plan shouldn't take effect until you activate your new phone, but you could just check to make sure. Once the 2GB plan takes effect, you should have 14 days to have the unlimited plan reinstated, or you will lose it for good.

No Longer Grandfathering Unlimited Data Plan

To say that I am disappointed in Verizon is an understatement. I have been with Verizon for over 15 years and have had the same unlimited plan for as long as I can remember. We were unaware that Verizon would no longer be honoring the existing data plan when upgrading your phone and this policy was not made clear when we purchased a new phone recently. When I noted the change to my account and called Verizon, I was given the standard customer service response “we are changing with the new market trying to keep current for our customers”, which is nonsense. As has been discussed here and all over the internet, Verizon is simply gouging their customers for more money with fewer options. They tried to indicate that other carriers do not offer unlimited and they are keeping up with the competition. The truth is that Verizon was ahead of the curve when they offered their unlimited plans during the infancy of the smartphone and now that they are so popular and commonplace with everyone needing a data plan, they see that they can charge more for less. Most mobile companies did away with the unlimited plans long ago but those of us who grandfathered in, have been elated with our service plans that new customers longed to have. Since then, customers have clamored for unlimited plans and the other providers are coming back around to give the people what they want. Unlimited, not share plans. The thought that Verizon is taking away the very plans that their customers are demanding and their competitors are giving is crazy. Verizon is well aware that their customers are unhappy as you can see by the damage control on these forums. At every turn they are closing and deleting posts and discussions that are addressing this travesty. My family, just like many others I have heard from, will be switching to a carrier with an unlimited data plan when our contracts are up. I will be sad to leave Verizon after all these years.

If Verizon brought back unlimited the network would be slow and you be back here complaining about that. Try studying up on how things work then come back here and complain. These other companies offer "unlimited" data not unlimited data and you should know this. Frankly you and all the unlimited data people are doing Verizon and the rest of it's customers a favor by leaving. You realize your phones have this thing called wi-fi?
Sprint already has plenty of complaints about how slow it's network is. And they barely have any 4G out there. Just wait until they have 4G everywhere and they get more customers like you that want to max out their connections.
Sprint's "unlimited data" plan fine print
Everything Data Plan: Includes $10 Premium Data add-on for smartphones (no discounts apply). Sprint Mobile Hotspot (MHS): Optional $19.99 or $49.99 add-on to allow your tablet or compatible phone to provide data usage for other Wi-Fi enabled devices. No discounts apply. Connectivity dependent upon compatibility and speeds may vary. Includes either 2GB or 6GB of on-network data usage with additional data charges of $0.05/MB. 100 MB or 300 MB off-network data limit is combination of tablet/phone and hotspot usage. Additional off-network data charges for tablets is $0.25/MB. Sprint reserves the right, without notice, to deny, terminate, modify, disconnect or suspend service if off-network roaming usage in a month exceeds (1) voice: 800 minutes. or a majority of minutes; or (2) data: 300 MBs or a majority of KBs.
Ok so you are going to have to pay $10 extra PER smartphone on top of the advertised price. You are going to have to pay a minimum of $20 if you want to use hotspot then you only get 2 GB for that $20. And you're limited to 300 MB a month if you are outside a Sprint area. Not to mention you're speeed is limited to a max of 256 kbps. Not to mention not many Sprint areas have 4G so you'll be limited to 3G speeds. Sounds wonderful. Enjoy.

UNLIMITED DATA PLANS! PLEASE BRING IT BACK VERIZON TO EVERYONE!

I think Verizon should bring back the Unlimited Data Plans because, many students uses so much Data for Videos for their homework and Videos takes up so much Data and there is no way an average family can afford to pay over $100 for a 20GB more Data plan and I think it would nice of Verizon if they would bring back the Unlimited Data Plan around $59/month at least because there are some people that need it for their homes. If you would also offer Unlimited Data Plan to the Mifi service, this would be a big competition with DSL and Cable providers for home internet. When families uses so much Data for Netflix or Rhapsody and Crackle, it takes so much Data and it is important for families to have Unlimited Data Usage for this entertainment. Verizon, I am going to say this, people like me does not like to be limited on how much we use the Internet. I am thankful even on my phone I have the Grandfather Unlimited Data Plan but if you ever take it away from me, I will leave Verizon and switch to Straight Talk. I have many friends I can tell and stir up some stuff with Verizon if this ever happens to me because, my Unlimited Data Plan means so much to me, the only reason I am bringing this up, to help other people who needs it too. I think Verizon has the best Coverage of all than any other provider but all I am asking is, do not take my Unlimited Data Plan from me and please bring it back for other people who needs it. Thanks so much time your time and support. Verizon Wireless Customers, please leave comments, I would love to hear your comments and thanks and have a Great Day!

Why are fixed income families on the most expensive carrier? Let alone owning smartphones.
I don't agree with tiered data either way. I wish they would do like a flat cap of 10gb for x amount of dollars and if you go over that, then you pay more. Put a data cap that no one can realistically hit without absuing, i mean REALLY abusing the service.
There is a disadvantage to unlimited data though, the person who is streaming and downloading all day can ruin it for a whole bunch of people in that area. But hey, they don't care, as long as they get theirs right? On one end, we have the happy user paying 30 bucks a month and doing like 200gb per month, while everyone else in the area has to suffer with sub par speeds because of this one individual.
Normal counter arguments is that the premiums are high, ceo gave him self a raise, vz is in the big profits, unlimited means unlimited no matter what, and a couple others I forget. They're valid points, and i do agree that the ceo could take some of his yearly earnings and put some of it back in the network. At the same time though, aren't projects like building cell towers done on a contract basis normally? So even if he is making ridiculous bank, it would be a moot point if he had already paid for the work to be done to the network.
Government isn't gonna do squat because it's each and every company's right to structure their plans how they wish and charge however much they wish.
Again, complaining doesn't do anything. Disconnect.

How to transfer 2x unlimited data plan

I have two unlimited data plans - one under contract. I'm moving oversea and need to get rid of the plans. I hear you can do an assumption of liability and avoid EFT. How do I do that? Can the new "owner" keep his/her original # or is he/she using my #?
<< Email removed to comply with Verizon Wireless Terms of Service >>

When you do an Assumption Of Liability (AOL) you are transferring the financial responsibility of the lines to someone else. This means if you have 2 lines 123-456-7890 and 223-456-7890 and you allow the AOL to me I get those numbers and must pay for them until the contracts are completed. I do not get your unlimited data plan. You cannot transfer a feature like unlimited data from your line to someone else's already existing account. If you wanted to keep the numbers then I would just continue to pay online every month until you come back to the U.S. Otherwise, you would just disconnect and pay the ETF.

AT&T Changed My Plan without my consent, took away my Unlimited Data Plan and 7500 rollover min

I have been a loyal customer since 2007. I have had AT&T's unlimited data plan on my iPhones since 2007. Well that all changed in May of 2013, unbeknownst to me! In May, AT&T took away my FamilyTalk Nation 1400 with Rollover minutes plan and arbitrarily enrolled my family in their 10GB shared data plan. We were not notified and we were not asked if we approved the change. We had about 7,500 banked rollover minutes. My phone is 1 of 4 on the family account. I had the original iphone in 2007 and have been with AT&T ever since because of the awesome $30 a month grandfathered unlimited data plan. To save money on minutes and texting, I moved my phone over to my family's shared plan about 2 years ago. I was able to keep my $30 a month unlimited data. Well in May, AT&T changed our plans and we didn't know. Had I been monitoring the bill, I would have likely caught this change. However, my parents were the ones paying the bill, and I would just send them my share every month. I received some weird text messages in the last few weeks saying I was getting close to my data limit. Hmmm, data limit? But I have unlimited data? That's when I went online, checked the bill, and saw what happened. I called AT&T, asked why the plan was changed. They claimed my sister made the change....I spoke to my family, including my sister, and no one had authorized the change. And since the monthly bill only increased by about $30 a month, my parents didnt bat an eyelash or ask questions when the plan changed. But we had a GREAT plan that was right for us, 7500 banked rollover minutes, and unlimited data for me. All that was taken away. AT&T says that since we didn't speak up within 90 days of the change, they cannot change it back. This is RIDICULOUS AT&T and I cannot believe this is how you treat loyal customers. Now we have an unlimited talk and text plan (which we don't need at all... we don't use that many phone minutes or texts... that's why we had banked 7500 rollover minutes you genuises!!) and a data plan with a cap at 10GB when before, I had UNLIMITED data. I am extremely mad that this happened. My family feels like we were slapped in the face. We want our old plan back. We want what we had on May 1 2013: our FamilyTalk Nation 1400 Rollover plan with our 7500 banked rollover minutes that we are entitled to, and my unlimited data plan for $30... because it was taken from us without our consent. If we cannot get our old plan back, the first chance we get once we are off contract for all of our phones, we are leaving AT&T and taking our business elsewhere. Has anyone had their plan taken from them without their knowledge? Lost rollover minutes? Been stripped of their unlimited data plan?

Hey JDom2, That really sounds like an rough situation.You're right, it doesn't make sense for AT&T to spontaneously change plans. Unless your account gets flagged for unusual usage, or needing help with billing reminders, a representative doesnt even open your account. It takes a representative to manually make some of the changes to your account, or of course of could do it yourself by logging into the webite. So ultimately a representative, either in store, or on the phone had to do it, while talking to someone. I personally can't remember a specific day or call 8 months ago, and it doesnt surprise me that your sister might not either. The new plan comes with unlimited Talk and Text. Rollover minutes are temporary minutes that fall off after a year and only get used if you go over your US voice usage. With unlimited, that's a moot point. AT&T starts sending text messages when you hit 65%. If this is the first time in months, you've used more than 6.5 gb, then this plan would've sounded amazing at the time. No conscientious rep would have reccomended make a change like that, unless your usage showed your usage showed you would have fit pretty comfortabled under 10gb. I might reccomend you check more what's changed in the last 8 months that your usage has been escalated. The sad thing is, customers who aren't used to paying a care to what they do on the phone, often leaves apps open unecasserily long period, or won't connect to wifi despite the faster speeds, or other things that are just generally a good idea for not just data, but general battery life and system speed. It's more just unfortuanate, whoever, perhaps your sister who was on the call when the change happened hadn't told you. Even if there was a misunderstanding, maybe she didn't understanding unlimited Talk/Text 10gb meant that was going to be the new data plan, instead of in addition to, if she mentioned it, then maybe you could've checked on it sooner. Reps usually are able to go back 60 days to fix bill issues, without clear documenatation. An overide from a supervisor, might let them go back an extra month, Sounds likes the representatives already engaged to see what's available, to just make sure you were getting all the support possible. If you really want to triple check if there' something someone can do, then of course feel free to contactATTCustomerCare to send a private message. I imagine, the rep who was originally involved in the conversation would have made explicitly clear that the old plans would not be available, and since your sister was authorized to make changes, (by virtue of being able to verify your account information). I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time though -Alex

I have an iPhone with an unlimited data plan. Is there a way to go online with a wifi only iPad using my phone for access?

I have an iPhone with an unlimited data plan. Is there a way to go online with a wifi only iPad using my phone for access?

If your iPhone cell carrier allows you to use Tethering, you can turn your iPhone into a wifi hotspot, then your iPad Air can connect to that for internet access. Not all cell carriers allow tethering without you signing up for additional fees/services. For example, AT&T in the US still has grandfathered "unlimited" data plans, but they do not allow tethering for those plans. With AT&T you need to switch to a Mobile Share plan (or a tiered plan if still available) to use tethering (legally).

I kept getting this upgrade prompt from the App Store to upgrade free to OS10 Yosemite. So I finally did on my 4 year old iMac and now it appears to be stuck just spinning on that stupid ball that means trouble and it is not progressing. Anybody got any idea what I do now? Thanks.

I don't think you would get a thing from the App Store running 10.3.x on a PowerBook. It would help if you told us what you really are using and what version of OS X you were running.
It would also help to tell us what the "stupid ball" is. In fact it would be a big help to give us a thorough and intelligible description of your situation so we don't have to guess.

Apps are not part of the backup. You need to sync them to the iPhone from iTunes on your computer or re-download them from the iTunes Store. For the latter option, see:

Why was I never offered Verizon Max 6gb (w/o edge) when I upgraded my phone from my unlimited data plan?

I upgraded my phone with a new 2yr activation in Jan 2014. I was not offered the 6gb plan without "going edge" that many unlimited data plan customers got when they switched over. I too had unlimited data and was grandfathered. Is this because that promotion wasn't active yet? I talked to my coworker who said she got hers upgraded from unlimited in september 2014 and was offered 6gigs for 30 bucks, and she's not on the edge plan. She upgraded at Target. I wonder if that makes a difference. I am currently paying for 2 gigs at 30 bucks a month.

Mas5723, thank you so much for reaching out to us. I want to make sure that are you on the best fit plan for your monthly data usage. How has the 2GB data plan been working out for your usage? Are you seeing any kind of overages on the account? Please keep us posted.

How to Create a Bootable Flash Drive to do a clean install of Lion. I have tried to use the InstallESD.dmg but it still will not do a clean install so that I do not have to do a reinstall from the Recovery (That just re downloads and takes over 6 hours)?

How to Create a Bootable Flash Drive to do a clean install of Lion. I have tried to use the InstallESD.dmg but it still will not do a clean install so that I do not have to do a reinstall from the Recovery (That just re downloads and takes over 6 hours)?
The system I'm have is a Mac-mini that had SL on it and no SuperDrive. I have also call Apple Support and they have really have not been to much help over 1st did my up grade to Lion and Installed the Lion Server.... it lost my SSL that I paid for and kill almost on of my server setting, plus kill all my web servers (using apache vhosts), and not to say the LDAP will even let remote users login to your laptops.
PS: There is no way that I'm going to buy a Install USB from Apple... They have over billed me over $300.00 because the Apps Store still has bugs (Glad I did not write that App/Service)
If there is anyone that can give in the information to create a USB install stick, I would be very thinkful.

Here you are bro, courtesy of "softpedia.com"....brilliant site!!!
If you ever had problems with your Mac OS X installation you know that the first thing you should do is to check the startup volume using Disk Utility.
After the check has ended and, if the errors exceed a certain level of seriousness, the Disk Utility application will require you to restart your Mac and use its Mac OS X Install disc counterpart.
Other users may have to reinstall OS X altogether, but will find, or already know, that their SuperDrive (a CD/DVD reader and write combo drive) is not functioning properly and it will not be able to read the Install disc.
Although this might happen to Mac OS X Leopard users due to faultyhardware, the vast majority of problematic SuperDrives will be encountered inside Snow Leopard running Macs.
This is due to the updated SuperDrive firmware included in either the Install disc or the software updates one has to install to reach the latest version of OS X, namely 10.6.6.
This can be fixed by flashing the SuperDrive’s stock firmware using free command line tools that one can find for free online (I will write about this process also, but at a later time because this article only focuses on allowing you to create your own alternative USB boot disc).
If you are reading this last bit of information with skepticism, than you should know that it happened to me too. Despite all my tries to make it work properly, the SuperDrive kept on munching any inserted DVDs and just popped them out in about twenty seconds.
The workaround to this issue was to create my own Leopard bootable USB memory stick. I am not suggesting a Snow Leopard bootable stick mainly because there are lots of users that have decided to buy the cheaper, Upgrade version, which I have not tested and, therefore, I’m not sure if it will work properly once written to a USB disk.
And now, here are the exact steps you should follow in order to obtain a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) Install disc.
Step 1 (If you already have the Leopard install disc DMG file you can skip to Step 2)
Launch Disk Utility (you can find it inside /Applications/Utilities). Here select the Leopard Install disc in the list of drives on the left and click on the New Image menu entry at the top of the window. A save message will appear where you will have to select the Desktop as a destination.
Step 2
After Disk Utility has finished creating the Leopard DMG, insert your USB stick and erase all data and reformat the disk. To do this select the USB in the list of drives on the left and, after clicking on the Erase tab on the right side of the window, choose the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format and click the Erase button beneath.
Step 3
After the USB has been reformatted, download the SuperDuper app from HERE and launch it. Once SuperDuper starts, you will only have to select the DMG in the Copy drop-down menu, your USB memory stick on the right and hit the “Copy Now” button.
One can also use Disk Utility for this task but creating a bootable USB stick failed 2 out 4 times when copying the DMG to the stick (with the exact same settings each time). Creating the bootable stick using SuperDuper proved to be the perfect way to do it because it worked each of the 4 times I tested it.
The steps above can also be used to create a bootable Mac OS X Lion USB by using the InstallESD.dmg image you can find inside the Lion installer (named “Install Mac OS X Lion.app”) downloaded from the Mac App Store in the /Applications folder.
To locate the InstallESD.dmg right click the Lion installer, select the “Show Package Contents” entry, go inside the “Contents” folder, and from there into the “SharedSupport” folder. Inside this folder you can find the InstallESD.dmg you can use to create your own bootable Mac OS X Lion USB stick. To do so, go to the third step described above and use the InstallESD.dmg as the DMG to be copied to your USB disc.
That’s it! Once the process ends you will have a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) USB disk that you can use as an alternative to the Apple’s DVD Install disc that comes bundled with all Macs.
To use your newly created bootable disk you will have to restart the Mac, press and hold the OPTION key until the StartupManager appears. Here, select the Mac OS X Install disk using your keyboard arrows and press return to start from the selected drive.

CSS Designer keeps switching from the media query I want to edit to Global

CSS Designer keeps switching from the media query I want to edit to Global. How can I keep it in the same editing mode so that I'm not all of a sudden making global changes instead of confined to the particular media query?

I feel your pain. I see that using styles apply to the entire paragraph.
So I have a kluge until some really bright minds step in.
Open the Pages document that you need to edit.
Have in memory a single word that is in (red) in your desired font style.
Just type a word in (red), make your font color adjustments. Copy the (red) word into memory. Delete from the document. I put this in parantheses.
Paste the (red) word where you want to make an edit
Sample
I have to edit papers that require me to type red words into each sentence, sometimes several times per sentence.
Every time I write a word in red, the next time I click into the sentence (or anywhere else on the document), the color defaults back to black.
So let's say you want three edits. I am showing all three, but you'd just do it as you encounter things that need correcting.
Sample
I have to edit papers that require me to type red words into each sentence, sometimes several times per sentence (red).
Every time I write (red) a word in red, the next time I click (red) into the sentence (or anywhere else on the document), the color defaults (red)back to black.
Type directly into the (red) or double click on red and make your edit(s) one at a time.
Result
Sample
I have to edit papers that require me to type red words into each sentence (only those that needs correcting), sometimes several times per sentence (that sounds painful).

Switching From The Original BlackBerry Storm to Droid X

Ordered my phone through Verizon on 8/25. My X is expected to ship by 9/9. Anyone else switch from the BB Storm? If so, what should I expect from the X? Is there a big difference?
FWIW, I absolutely loath the Storm. It's the worst phone I've ever owned. So, I'm expecting/hoping for a lot from the X

My wife and I also went from BB to Droid. She got the Droid 2 (Came in day after I ordered on the phone) to replace her Curve and I got the X (arrived two weeks later) to replace my Storm 1. What a difference! Here's the rundown of what I see different so far (had it for just over a week).
1. Fast! Everything is fast. Browser loads pages several times faster than the Storm. Scrolling, pinch to zoom, and every other aspect of browsing is amazing in comparison. I used to dread getting on the web with the Storm and would prefer to wait till I could get to a computer. Not any more! Switching apps is equally speedy and multitasking is awesome.
2. Much better memory management. I had quick pull on my Storm scheduled to reboot every morning and was still getting slow and hourglasses by early evening. I haven't had to reboot my X yet for slowdown. I also have tons more apps installed. I was down to only a few apps on my Storm to free up as much memory as possible. I just keep downloading more on my X with no problems.
3. The screen does take a little getting used to. I was in the habit of letting my finger rest on the screen to keep it on with my Storm. It can be pretty sensitive for typing as well. I get a few extra letters here and there but I'm getting better. (Using swype helps alot).
4. Did I mention it's fast?
5. Battery life is about the same. Except I am still playing with the X alot more.
6. I wasn't a big business user and already use gmail for my personal email, as well as google calendar. I had google sync on my Storm so the transition was easy there. My wife does use a pop account for her work email so it is kind of a bummer that it isn't push like the BB, but she's ok with it. Switched from using BB Messenger to Google Talk with no problems either. If you have a big list of contacts in BB Messenger, keep an eye on an app called CrossTalk that promises to be able to send BBM messages from Android phones.
7. Kinda bummed there isn't a unified inbox like on my Storm, but having everything show up in the notification drop down is just as good.
8. It's fast, even without battery pulls!

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening ... it shows when you right click on the mail icon that " application not responding"

If your hard drive is getting full, you need to free up, at least, 20 GBs of space on your iMac's hard drive.
If your Mac is running a fairly recent version of OS X, here are some general guidelines.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
