Not to mention the speed that you get from the 4G LTE network, which is a lot faster than the 3G network speeds.

If only Verizon didn't unveil their share everything plan...

I maybe wrong but the share plan are for those who want unlimited text and calling? It wouldn't affect those that don't. I could be wrong though.

I twill affect anyone who signs a new contract or upgrades that currently has unlimited data. No more unlimited data, period; if you sign a contract/upgrade.

I'm lucky enough to be able to use wifi mostly. I mostly average 500mb a month. I'm sure it depends on everyone's situation, especially with wifi hotspot. I don't care for it either getting rid of unlimited data.

What would make my mouth water as far as phones go? Realistically?
The DInc4G with a 4.3" screen, image sense, and good battery life. I'll pay 5-6 hundred for that. Or wait till I can buy a used one for less.

Unfortunately, unlimited data is a feature, not part of your contract, so even if you buy your phone outright, Verizon can/will at some point take it away. I was on the phone for almost an hour with the Northwest Customer service manager, and the way she explained it, Unlimited Data is not part of the contract, it's a feature, so they can revoke it at any time. Your contract is only for the price you pay each month for the phone/text services. It's such a load of BS!!!!

Verizon released a statement saying that if you buy your phone outright you can keep unlimited data. I've posted this multiple times while FUD was flying around. http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/0...ed-data-plans/

Verizon’s e-mailed statement, in full:

– Customers will not be automatically moved to new shared data plans. If a 3G or 4G smartphone customer is on an unlimited plan now and they do not want to change their plan, they will not have to do so.
– When we introduce our new shared data plans, Unlimited Data will no longer be available to customers when purchasing handsets at discounted pricing.
– Customers who purchase phones at full retail price and are on an unlimited smartphone data plan will be able to keep that plan.
– The same pricing and policies will be applied to all 3G and 4GLTE smartphones.

Your absolutely right, but Verizon CAN take it away if they want. I didn't say they would, but the contract you signed isn't about features. Unlimited data is a feature. They have no plans at the moment, but mark my words, those greedy bastards will take it away at some point.

They cannot just take it away. I was once on a family share plan that hadn't been offered in three years and they never said anything until I went in to upgrade my phone. They will only make changes when you renew your contract. Now if they did what cable companies do all the time - just change the price on existing plans - then yes they will "take it away".
