Why is the new data plan offered only 4GB or 10GB?

I currently have 8GB plan for $70. This plan works well for me. I hear Verizon is not only offering a 4GB and a 10GB plan.
At times when I go over my plan I'll up the data for one month then return it back to 8GB.
Verizon is now going to keep me at 10GB for $80 and not let me keep my 8GB at $70.
Seems like their plans are not working for me. Going on 2.5+ years of loyalty with Verizon.

Your info is correct.  I agree it is a strange and unnecessarily large jump that puts those that need something in the middle in a difficult position.

    As the title says i went to use the old one which gives you a lot more data but had an error so went to do it again but you can't do 2 in an hour so thought i'd try the beta but only download speeds! no upload,what you should be getting, ping etc! seems very basic.

    Perhaps it's because it's a BT improvement?

  • Switching phones--why can't I keep the same data plan?

    I am on a family plan with three phones on it, two of which are Android phones.  The third line, currently suspended by me, is on an LG Env3.  Before the data plans changed, I added the unlimited data to the phone for $29.99.  I reactivated the line to verify the data plan shows on it, and then suspended the phone again. 
    I want to use this extra line as a house phone, and I have an HTC Eris I'd like to use.  Since it's a smart phone, I know I have to have a data package, which is already attached to the line.  When I got on-line and tried to reactivate the line, changing it to the Eris, a window popped up telling me I have to switch to one of the new data plans. 
    Anyone have any idea why it is doing this?  I changed from the Eris to a Thunderbolt on one of the other lines two weeks ago, and had no problem keeping the unlimited $29.99 plan. 
    If I call customer service and do it with a rep, will I be able to keep the $29.99 data plan? 
    Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
    (Originally posted in wrong forum)

    LG Env3 is not a smartphone. The feature phone unlimited data plan is coded differently than the smartphone unlimited data plan. If you change that line to a smartphone (like a Droid Eris) you have to select from the currently available data plan options.
    As long as you keep a feature phone on that line you can keep the grandfathered feature phone unlimited data plan.

  • Why do I need to choose a new data plan for the Galaxy Nexus?

    So I've been waiting to upgrade my OG Droid to the Galaxy Nexus.
    I have the "unlimited data" plan (grandfathered in). My phone is eligible for an upgrade, but when I add it to my cart, it tells me that I need to choose a new data plan because my current one isn't eligible.
    I thought once you have the unlimited data, you keep it until you cancel the line or switch to a non-smartphone?
    Is this an error on line or if I go to the store will the tell me the same thing?
    Thanks

    So I went to the store, and they told me the phone would be $320 instead of $250 like the online price. So, I left and called the customer service number and they told me that the order should go through with the unlimited plan selected, but it doesn't. So they made a note and said I'd have to call customer service after activating the phone to get unlimited data back on to it. 
    Has anyone ever had to do this? I don't want to get this with a "new" data plan only to have them tell me that they can't put unlimited data back onto it for 29.99/mo.
    Thanks for the responses
    How are you getting it for $250 on line?  Do you have a discount or NE2 credit?  Sounds like you didn't go to a coorporate store and went to a Franchise/3rd party store.  They can't see employee discounts or NE2 credits.
    It will be around $320 with tax and fees, and your data plan WILL stay the same in store.  Since they said you have to call CSR it further makes me believe you went to a franchise or 3rd party retailer.

  • I need a new phone and ipod, would I be able to use an iPhone as a phone and iPod only and not have to buy the internet data plan?

    I need a new phone and iPod, would I be able to use an iPhone as a phone and iPod, without having to purchase the internet date plan?

    You cannot do this.  iPhones have to be activated with a service plan before any of the features, including the iPod features can be used.

  • Will there be new Canada or Mexico calling plans thanks to the Share Data Plan?

    I recently signed up for Verizon service (back in March, 2012) and go the 700 minute family plan (2 smart phones with data and one "feature" phone).  One of the reasons I chose Verizon over AT&T was because Verizon had coverage in a portion of Canada that I visit and had a Canada Calling Plan to cover that area.  My goal was to switch to that plan for the month of my trip so that I could make/receive calls while in Canada.  Now, however, because of the new share plans, I would not be able to switch BACK to my preferred family plan (which gives me the upgraded 4GB per smart phone instead of 2GB).  So, I have a great plan now, but if I switch to the Canada plan for 2 measly weeks (or the full month), I can never switch back without having to choose the new share plans (which won't be as good a deal for me).
    Hence, I don't plan to switch to the Canada calling plan.  So, is there ANY other kind of add-on service that I can use on my existing family plan that will let me make/receive calls for a reasonable rate in Canada?  For example, Sprint has a $.2.99 add-on that let's you make/receive calls in Canada for $0.09/minute.   Without any kind of add-on, the per-minute rate is $0.69 and I think that's just airtime, it wouldn't include the long-distance cost of calling a Canadian phone# (I can work around that by using Google voice, but still...not as nice).

    Thanks for your response. The plans are still there, but I don't want to switch to them because then I can't switch back to my current plan (700 share minutes for 3 phones plus 4GB or data for each phone).  The equivalent service under the new plans would be far more expensive.  So, I'd really prefer to keep my current plan and use some kind of long-distance rate plan while in Canada.  This was one of the main reasons why I chose Verizon over Sprint (the town I'm visiting only has CDMA coverage, no GSM, so T-mobile and AT&T are out).

  • Who has the Unlimited Data Plan and has Been Speed Capped when You went over 5Gig?

    Just checking to see how many others have been speed capped to 200Kb on the unlimited data plan when they went over 5Gig in a billing cycle? (you can get a one time reprieve if you call them at 1-888-483-7200)
    Did they ask you to change your plan to 10Gig and Update your Equipment and sign a new two year agreement?
    Did you know that Sprint is offering unlimited Data on their 4G network and that Verizon is trying to lock down customers that are not on 2 year contracts? (Gives them time to catch up with the competition) Marcus in Fraud and Investigation told me (when I told him that Sprint was offering Unlimited Data)  "...That is a better option..." 
    I am now looking into other options along with allot of the rest of you.

    I was instructed to call that Fraud Department number and was treated like I had broken some kind of law instead of going over the 5 Gig fine print limit on my unlimited grandfathered in account. They would not even consider giving me a one time do over for being a MiFi newbie. I am hearing class action suit rumblings out there!!

  • Jsf not rendering the new data

    On the page a.jsp, when i select the year and company name, it displays the reqd company info. when i click edit, it goes to b.jsp and displays those information. after i edit, i click save. data is updated in the database and it goes back to a.jsp and displays the new data. now in a.jsp, when i select the year and company name, it shows the prior data and not the new data. even if logout of the appl and login again, this does not show the new data. only when i restart the appln server, i am able to see the modified data
    Can someone please help me on this. thanks.

    If you don't get an answer, do you really think it is going to help to simply post the exact same question again?
    Why don't you do yourself a favor and try to reason about the problem yourself. You can be 100% assured this is your own fault that this is happening, somewhere in your code is a mistake. So where could it be? What could you have done to make the page display the old data in stead of the new data?
    Perhaps you will also want to invest some time into learning how to use a debugger, those things were invented to be able to work out these kind of "mysteries".

  • Where the new data's are placed  first ?

    Hi,
    I have created the database of TimesTen as per the steps in
    http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/timesten/1121/quickstart/html/admin/db_ops_createdb.html
    using Data Source Name (DSN )
    Placed data in C:\TimesTen\Database
    Placed log in D:\TimesTen\Log
    Command> connect "dsn=my_ttdb";
    Connection successful: DSN=my_ttdb;UID=*******;DataStore=C:\TimesTen\Database\my_ttdb;DatabaseCharacterSet=AL32UTF8;ConnectionChar
    =D:\TimesTen\Log;PermSize=700;TempSize=300;TypeMode=0;OracleNetServiceName=orcl_db;
    (Default setting AutoCommit=1)
    If the tables are created it will be data file that is in C:\TimesTen\Database path
    If the data's are populated(inserted/updated) then the log will be in D:\TimesTen\Log path and data's will be C:\TimesTen\Database
    Here what ever command which is issued will be logged in D:\TimesTen\Log
    Where the new or incoming data's are placed , first in-memory or where ,if it is placing in memory when it will be writing to disk. I couldn't be able to see any data's in memory when the new data is inserted.
    I am using bulk command to insert the data
    ttBulkCp -i DSN=my_ttdb mytable C:\TimesTen\Database\test.txt
    When the data's are inserted it writes the log in the log directory D:\TimesTen\Log and the new log files are generated my_ttdb.logXX ,then what is the difference in general Oracle database and Oracle TimesTen database?
    If the logs are going to happen when we use the ttBulkCp command then we can opt for Oracle database and why we need to go for Oracle TimesTen if all the operations are similar.What differs here with normal Oracle database.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    In the link
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21901_01/doc/timesten.1122/e21633/comp.htm#BABHBICB
    under Database persistence topic it is said as Databases are created in two ways :
    Permanent databases are stored to disk automatically through a procedure called checkpointing. TimesTen automatically performs background checkpoints based on the settings of the connection attributes CkptFrequency and CkptLogVolume. TimesTen also checkpoints the database when the last application disconnects. Applications can also checkpoint a database directly to disk by invoking the ttCkptBlocking built-in procedures
    Temporary databases are not stored to disk. A temporary database is automatically destroyed when no applications are connected to it; that is, when the last connection disconnects or when there is a system or application failure. TimesTen removes all disk-based files when the last application disconnects.
    A temporary database cannot be backed up or replicated. Temporary databases are never fully checkpointed to disk*, although Checkpoint operations can have significant overhead for permanent databases, depending on database size and activity, but have very little impact for temporary databases. Checkpoints are still necessary to remove transaction log files.
    If the Temporary databases are never fully checkpointed to disk then how cum the full data are written to disk

    I need to check how it works on a Permanent database and Temporary database, so it would be helpful if you could provide alternate link how to configure Permanent/Temporary database.

  • Why does the new version not have back-up disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

    Why does the new version of i-tunes not have back-up to disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

    Fast backup for iTunes library  (Windows)
    Grab SyncToy  2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time.
    If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes, regardless of the drive letter or path it appears on.
    Step-by-step guide to using SyncToy.

  • Is this seriously the new upgrade plan??

    http://www.androidcentral.com/verizon-changing-its-upgrade-policy-youll-have-wait-20-months-new-phone
    if this is the new upgrade plan for users it is absolutely ridiculous. as someone who likes to upgrade to a new phone every year, and therefore renew my contract every year, this makes zero sense. why would vzw want to prevent me from buying the newest device if i choose? i know my phone is going to be obsolete within a year anyways. 
    AND getting rid of the new every two?? what's that about? wasn't that a good way to keep customers upgrading and therefore paying the monthly subscription fees? getting rid of it is a good way to **bleep** off customers who have be loyal for so long.

    Oh, wow, I didn't see this one coming. Thanks for posting.
    The annual upgrade was the only reason I'd even consider a two-year contract. Not because I couldn't use the same phone for 20 months, but because of the one-year manufacturer's warranty. If you don't want to throw away money on insurance, at least you could upgrade after the warranty ended if something happened to your phone.
    This confirms my belief in paying the extra $70 for a one-year contract, like Spiral said.
    (LOL at the positive spin.)
    We have to wait and see if the $70 differencial remains or grows larger......

  • How to activate an old iphone (after restoring it) without a new data plan

    First off thanks for any help – I've seen the support article Using an iPhone without a wireless service plan and it no longer seems to reflect the current setup for the iTunes Store.
    I have an old original iPhone that I've been using as an iPod. Works fine, but for some reason I wasn't able to replace some old photos with additional music. So, I decided to restore the phone and wipe it clean so there would be more space for music.
    After the phone was wiped clean, it needed to be reactivated. There's no way to get into the phone or load music onto it without activating it, as far as I can tell. I saw the support article above, but after going through the steps in the iTunes store there was no way to active the phone without purchasing a $20 a month data plan. I know there's another way (or there used to be) but I can't figure it out.
    Basically, just need to active my old iPhone, so that I can continue to use it as an iPod touch, without purchasing a new data plan.
    Any help would be appriciated, thanks!
    -joe

    More info – the phone was used (by me) with a data plan for about two years.
    The SIM card that's in the phone is the same as when I first purchased it.
    I can easily activate it – just not without purcahsing a data plan.

  • Why does the new Itunes freeze/do nothing when i click on my Ipod touch icon ?

    Why does the new Itunes freeze when i click on my Ipod touch icon to manage my content? All buttones, video, tv, info, music, they all do nothing. i was only able to sync by bringing up the old sidebar. Is this a software glitch, or am i missing a step? I just spent two days reorganizing and labeling all my music for the new itunes, and had to restore my ipod so i could upload my new library. i know what is supposed to come up when you click on the music or info tabs, but nothing happens, only the eject button works. whats going on?

    The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer with iTunes with the USB connector.  iTunes should open and give you instructions as to what to do.  Whatyou need to need to do is to restore the iPod via iTunes.
