Unlimited data on 2 lines. Say what we want about Verizon and their prices but until some of these other companies start providing the same or better coverage than Big Red, I'll stick with them.

Agreed. Someone has to pay for the ultra-fast buildout of the network. Kind of expect to pay more on a network that is more reliable with better coverage and more modern. With the LTE rollout nearly complete they're already looking to VoLTE (voice over LTE) so they can shut down the CDMA system (finally) and LTE-Advanced to bump our data speeds even higher. Call it the "early adopters" network for the time being :P

As I voted, I'm still on Unlimited Data for 2 of 5 lines. Mine and my Girlfriend are on Unlimited, 2 of the other lines are on 2gb data plans, and one dumb phone. We all share the cost of a family share plan with 2000 minutes. We still even have the 10 friends and family callers, so we hardly ever use our anytime minutes. I have been with Verizon since they bought out Alltel in our market, and my first phone was the Blackberry Storm 2. Then about the same time before they dropped the grandfathered unlimited she upgraded to an Iphone, and I picked up my Droid X. I have since bought a Razr, and then a Razr Maxx as used phones to keep that unlimited.

I'm scared for the day that one of the 3 other lines want to "upgrade" and my entire account is forced onto the shared data plans. Granted we could get by with 10gb since I'm the only real data hog, I still hate the idea of being limited.

I'm still on the VZW unlimited plan. Bought the Droid Razr before the "no more grandfather" rule kicked in. Even though Verizon is overpriced, my company subsidizes my phone bill so I only have to pay about a third of the cost...for now. :)

My wife wanted to upgrade her Iphone so to keep a happy home, I had to give up my unlimited plan. Verizon's prices really suck.

Unlimited here. Here's my problem with voice lte, since voice will be over the same signal as internet, well loose the ability to be on the phone while surfing the web(like how it was with 3g and prior)

Unlimited 1 line, 2 gigs for daughter who has s3. Got the Bionic for free around June. Got 4g in my area a few months back. Prior always had to be on wifi at home. I figure they owe me X amount of years for poor service via 3g. I don't ever want to see 3g service again.

2 lines unlimited everything except minutes. The wife and I share 1200 minutes a month, and never even get close with the 10 friends and family on Alltels old my circle. I use between 75 and 90 gigs a month, and the wife uses around 30 to 35 gigs. Limited plans would never work for us. :D Here's a screen, and I'm just getting started.

Die hard unlimited user. If VZW makes me give it up then they lose my family plan, currently at $200 / month with extra lines, multiple data plans, and addons.

I, by myself, use 15+ GB a month, even with being on a WiFi connection most evenings. No way I'm going to try to share a data plan under 20 GB....

So they don't offer data plans per phone? Everything is shared? And how much do you get for the shared? I'm currently sitting at 4gb and don't want to lose this, but if I upgrade will I?

We calculated it. Individual data plans for 5 devices will still run more b/c my single data plan for over 15 GB costs more than half what I am paying now.

I'm now using a Nexus 4 on T-Mobiles $30 100 minute, Unlimited Texting, 5GB plan.

Verizon has better coverage but it's not $100 month better ;)

I've been with Verizon for about 20 years. I've moved on and ported over my 4 remaining phone for a plan with unlimited 4G, Phone and Text.
Coverage is just about the same as Verizon but cost is $70/ month less. Worth checking out www.wireless50.com

If there signal was better, I'd switch. It sucks to have to balance the scales, between the overpriced plans and poor signal. For now I'll stick around on vzw's overpriced BS, and keep my unlimited data with good coverage areas. I'll buy a phone full price (tax return style) and stay with it until VZW manages to ruin that too. Haha. I figure it's just a waiting game at this point.


I feel the same way..... as a trucker I have to have reliable signal .... vzw has been the most consistent across the country .......
