Verizon Killing unlimited Data

Verizon has decided to kill unlimited data even for Grandfathered users

This ticks me off, but might be the final push to get off a smart phone and just go back to a basic cell phone..

Great, you know what this means, monkey see monkey do. AT&T better not follow in its competitor's foot steps.

No, they're just fine with throttling us.

I thought AT&T had already released a statement, saying they were no longer offering an Unlimited Data plan to new customers and that subscribers already with AT&T will lose their unlimited data plan when they renew their contract.

I also read somewhere that Verizon was still going to offer Unlimited Data plan to pre-paid subscribers, just something to point out.

AT&T doesn't offer new ones, but the people who grandfathered in still have it and NO renewing your contract doesn't lose anything with AT&T. Verizon is done with it.

Sprint for the win, except their 4G network is really sucky.

/And they don't work in Leakey, Texas at all.
//Which, overall, is just fine by me, 'cause when I'm there, I don't wanna be found anyway.
///Actually, the 4g works pretty good when it's available. It's the coverage that's an issue.

They announced this a long time ago. I would go back and look at your monthly data usage and then get the plan that meets it every month.

They're all going to follow through. The only reason tmobile and sprint still do it is because AT&T and Verizon are bringing in so many more customers. Plus they have legit 4G networks. None of that HSPA+ crap. Even AT&T is lagging behind Verizon now.

I'm like you Joe. I've been grandfathered in with AT&T. I'm the only one though. Wife and kids have limits.

Mine and my oldest were grandfathered and their mother supplies the phone for our youngest. I pay 135.00 for 2 iPhones with unlimited text/data

When I called them, they said my account is fine and it was a phishing email. We shall see.
