Home Internet went out for a bit the other day but we didn't miss a beat thanks to my bionic and Foxfi. Worked flawlessly.

Wtih VZW wanting to eliminate unlimited data plans, I wonder if they will start looking into those tethering without their plan to do so. Anyone thinking about going legit on their tethering?

The only way you'll loose your unlimited, is by upgrading. As long as you never change your contract you'll still keep it. So if you're willing to dump a bunch of $$$ for a new phone every year, you're good to go.

There was a release on msnbc.com about how Verizion is going to be changing how data works on plans so it nullifys grandfathered unlimited data plans. The data is no longer per phone, it will be a tiered plan for the entire account and data usage is no longer per device but per account instead.

We get f*cked, not that I have unlimited data anyway however..

I've read multiple articles about this, and the ones with the most details explain this summer, when upgrading to a new device, is when they switch your plan bringing you into a new contract. Nothing says anywhere you'll loose it if you refuse to upgrade. You can buy new phones out right and activate them yourself, especially easily with 4G now without changing contracts. My parents are still running their origins Alltel contracts from when verizon bought them out 3 years ago because of not upgrading.

I see so its only when upgrading and yet you have the opportunity to buy the phone outright and maintain the data plan. But who wants to pay full price for a new phone?

Actually, I think paying full price for devices and doing away with subsidies is a very healthy change, but I have been doing that for the most part for years anyway.

Don't get me wrong I would love not to be tied down to my provider however paying upwards of 600-800 for a new phone every year or two is a little spendy when thats roughly 2 weeks of pay for me.
