Will my $20 data plan need to be incresed to upgrade?

I know that new iPhone 3G users pay 30 dollars a month for unlimited data then whatever on top of that for text messaging, but I would much rather keep my $20 unlimited data which includes 200 text messages plan if I upgrade. Is there anyway this is possible? or will I need to have to spend about $15 extra a month?
Thanks

I'm sure you would like to keep your current data plan for the first generation iPhone as would all first generation iPhone owners that decide to purchase an iPhone 3G.
The cost for the unlimited data plan for the iPhone 3G is $30/mo and does not include any SMS. This is at&t's standard unlimited data plan rate for PDA style phones or for phones in the smart phone category, and is not negotiable.
A 200 SMS allowance will cost an additional $5/mo, which is also standard.

  • I currently have the 2 gig data plan for $50, plus a free 1 gig promotional attachment but Verizon is currently offering the 3 gig data plan for $50, but if I upgrade will I lose the free 1 gig promotion I currently have attached to my account?

    I understand I will still be getting 3 gigs of data for the $50, I would just like to continue to have the free 1 gig promotion I was already getting, if you Verizon was willing to do it before then why can't they continue to do it now?

    Like Ann154 said, changing plans often results in the loss of any promos you may have.  In your case, it makes no difference to the price you will pay - you'll have 3 GB for $50.  Whether you have 1GB free, or a better price on the 3GB plan is a wash.  I'd leave things alone....

  • Unlimited Data Plan-Need to change my phone but don't want to lose!!

    I am "grandfathered" into the unlimited data plan, we have four lines, I need to change my phone as my current one doesn't work. I tried switching to an old phone that I used 6 months ago with the unlimited data via online and it would not allow me to do so. How can I change to another phone without being told I have to buy a data plan? If we need to "buy a data plan" all 4 phones will be going else where....

    Makes no difference about any tin foil hats, Verizon is using ANY MEANS to force unlimited data users off the unlimited and onto share or metered data. It is a fact. They tried twice with me and I pay full price for my devices.
    1) Change your minutes, they want to take away your unlimited.
    2) Buy a new device on subsidy, lose your unlimited data.
    3) Buy a new device on the Edge program, lose unlimited data.
    4) Swap a device on your account, they want to take unlimited away.
    5) Add a prepay tablet to your account, they tell you that you lose Unlimited data.
    However the instructions are you are prepaying for the tablet use so its billed to your credit or debit card yet not really part of your cell phone plan but they want you to lose unlimited.
    In short if you go online or call on the phone or even chat, for any reason in some cases Verizon is removing your unlimited data. And you have to be careful since many here are stating the same as I listed.
    They are a business, if they decided not to have unlimited data trust me it will be gone. So leave a little room in that tin foil so the broadcast will get through.
    Just for a giggle, many many years ago I bought an unlimited Mobil Gasoline coffee cup. You paid for it once and each time you came to a Mobil station you get a free coffee. I still have the cups (they came in two sizes) yet just try and get that free coffee. The company dropped the promotion. And now you get arrested for theft.
    Nothing lasts forever.
    Good Luck

  • If I buy an iPad Mini 4G in USA and take it back to Spain, can I use it here normally? Is a data plan needed in US? Thanks!

    I'm travelling to NY in 10 days and my intention is to buy and iPad mini 4G to use it in Spain as I live here. Any problem when purchasing? Do I need to sign a data plan in US for Verizon, AT&T or Sprint?
    Thanks for replying.

    Wi-Fi + Cellular model: Keeps you connected to the Internet using a fast cellular data connection when Wi-Fi isn’t available. So you can stay connected when you’re commuting on the train, hanging out at the park, or looking for directions during a road trip. It’s available without a contract, and service is sold separately. See your carrier for rate plan information.
    So what does this mean ...from online store

  • I was informed that my data plan was eligible for a free upgrade from 250mb to 750mb and told the rep to do so. but it was never done. I am being charged for overage. What do I do?

    I called in to do a temp upgrade on my data and was told by the rep that my account was eligible for a free upgrade. I said okay, but it never happened and now I am being charged for an overage. When I check my plan specifics I see that my data is set to the old amount, I will not pay what I don't owe. Now I am having trouble contacting anyone to help resolve this issue.

        Dusty4691,
    This is a stumper! As MrHelper stated, we do not have a 750MB plan so I'm curious as to what that offer was. How much data did you end up using for the month and how much were you charged in overages?

  • Transfer Phone/Data Plan Between Phone Numbers

    Hello,
    I have a Droid X with the promotional $15/month 150MB data plan. My wife is eligible for an upgrade, and we were thinking of getting her her first smart phone. She will definitely not be a heavy data user. We are under the same Family Plan.
    What I would like to do is use her upgrade to purchase a new Droid Incredible 2 with the unlimited data plan. After doing so, I would like to transfer her phone and data plan to my phone number and vice versa (transfer my phone and data plan to her number).
    I'm getting conflicting info as to whether or not this can be done. I've read a post on here that suggests this is possible, but I called Verizon and was told that it isn't. The CSR told me that since my data plan is promotional and no longer available, there is no way to perform the transfer.
    Is this correct? Is there no way of getting the $15/month plan onto my wife's phone number (regardless of whether we switch phones or not)?
    Thanks.

    Adding to what was stated in assisting mandms7, the $15.00 data plan is no longer available and not able to be transferred if you switch phones. If you change devices, you would be asked to select from one of the available data plans to replace the data plan no longer available. Also, if you upgraded your wife's featured phone to a Smart Phone by July 6th, 2011, you would have been required to select the unlimited data plan for $29.99. If upgrading after the 7th, then you need to select from one of the available data plans. Please use this link to be taken directly to the website to see the available data plans. There is also information available to help determine which would be the best data plan available. You could always switch phones online being logged into My Verizon. However, the selecting of the data plan would be needed at the time of switching your phones. 

  • Does the EnV Touch require a data plan?

    I need a new phone, and it has to be similar to the LG Extravert. I just want a new phone for variety, although I could purchase the Extravert again. But, when I look up whether the EnV Touch requires a data plan, there is so much confusion. Even the Verizon Customer Support people give different answers. I am very uncomfortable with the idea of a data plan, because I just want to pay $20/month for unlimited texting-I text very heavily. But I do not want to pay $50-70 per month just to text. I also hope it isn't a smartphone, because I have been searching for a non-smartphone for weeks. So...does it require one or not? If you can recommend a similar phone that meets my needs, please do. I also prefer touch screens and good cameras.

        I know cost is important to you doctorcatfish and we want to make sure you have the best plan for your needs. If you purchase  a basic phone (Lg-Env) for full retail cost you can use the plan you currently have. If you upgrade to a basic phone with a discount, you will have to choose one of our shared data plans for basic devices. The Lg-Env-Touch will require a data plan and if this phone is purchased at full retail price, you can use your current plan and add on one of our old data plans because you have an older plan. If you upgrade with a discount for this  device, you will have to pick one of our shared data plans. Here is some information about out plans http://bit.ly/xdDajD . Let us know if you have any further questions.

  • IMessage using my data plan

    I received a text message from AT&T this morning saying that I had used 65% of my data plan already (it is the second week of February). I don't use the internet or internet using apps very often, so I was very confused when this happened. I called apple and they proceeded to tell me that when I'm not in a wifi area, my iMessage will use my data plan. If this application comes with the iphone 4s , then why isn't there a way to disable it when on the 3g network only? I want to be able to use the iMessage application, but cannot afford the unlimited data plan in order to do so. This is ridiculous, so if anyone else is having this problem, please write back. Also, if anyone has figured out how to disable iMessage just in 3g areas (for the 4s), please let me know.

    Either don't use iMessage while on 3G or turn 3G off ENTIRELY under Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data OFF.

  • 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.

    That actually makes a lot of sense! 

  • Reducing cost of Data Plan

    I just saw on TV where Verizon will reduce your data plan by $10 or give you 1GB, but you have to ask about it. They said you could do this on this website. Anyone already done this and if so, what do I do? Can't find where to request that.

    I've done, my daughter has done it - you can log on to your account at verizonwireless.com, or call customer service.  I was on the phone with them about another issue, and the rep actually volunteered the information that there were new pricing options, and I could save $10 by changing to one of the new options.  She took care of it right then.  I'll see the change on my next bill (hopefully).

  • Is there a wi-fi capable phone that does not require a data plan.

    I would like to upgrade the 4th number of my family plan with a phone capable of doing apps.  My youngest son would love to play games with his phone and text and call.  But, a full fledged data plan would be overkill.  Which phone is app capable without data plan?  Help much appreciated

    You can upgrade your son's line to one of our Basic phones that do not require a data plan. With these phones your son can text, call, and also purchase games.
    Although they do not require a data plan we do recommend one if he will be accessing data when purchasing and downloading games and other applications. Without a data plan you will be billed $1.99 per megabyte used. 
    If he will be accessing data occasionally then I would recommend the $10.00 data plan which will allow him 75 MB per month. Click here to view other available data plans.

  • "Corporate Accounts" in iOS7 is eating the Data Plan

    Hi Everybody,
    installing the MDM Profiles, will enable a new Entry in "Celluar" --> "System Services" , called "Corporate Accounts". This Service will eaten the Data Plan of some of my Co-Workers. 1 Hour = 4 MB. Did anybody know, what Data is synced there between the iPhone and the MDM System? and how to prevent the Data Plan loss?

  • Question about iphone 4 and data plan..

    I have the 3GS with unlimited data.
    I am getting the iphone 4.
    I will be giving 3GS to wife.
    Will the unlimited data plan only stay for the 3GS?
    Or can it be transferred to the iphone 4?
    Or can I get unlimited plan for both since I'm an existing customer?
    Thanks!!

    You can continue with your unlimited plan on the new phone. Your wife will have to choose one of the new data plans for the 3GS.

  • Will i need to purchase data plan if i buy unactivated smartphone while on contract with a basic phone?

    II have a basic phone that is still in contract with a family plan of other basic phones that is not the share everything plan. If i buy my friends unactivated smartphone (DROID X 3G) will i need to purchase a data plan?

    yes, all smartphones require a data plan; you don't have to switch to the Share Everything plan unless you want to (and then all lines on your account would have to switch) ... you can add a tiered data plan (i.e., $30 for 2 GB) for your new smartphone.

  • HT4157 I want to set up my data plan for my iPad however I am in Germany for the next 3 months.  Will this plan work the same here as it would in the US?  Is there anything I would need to do in addition to get the service I need out here?

    I just moved to Germany and want to set up the data plan for my iPad.  I currently have the iPad linked to at&t however have not yet set up service.  I am afraid that I will pay for it and not be able to use it out here.  Will the standard at&t cellular data plan work in Germany or am I out of luck??

    but not an AT&T  as clearly stated by OP ( unless you can use a Verizon/Sprint model on AT&T )
    Looks like we both need to read the OP more carefully
