Verizon Grandfathered Unlimited Plan

Thanks, JC.

About seven years ago I moved cross country and was living in the middle of nowhere for six months while looking for a job.

When I did the math, if I had to pay for the data used while out there it would have been around 10k or more, per month.

I was using 1-2TB per month via the hotspot.

So, for the right person it's worth it.

I'm going to hold onto it so if anyone is interested, let me know.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the info guys.

I just called Verizon & the support guy informed me that they can be leased / rented out.

If anyone is interested, I have ONE extra Hotspot/SIM on the Grandfathered plan that I don't know what to do with.

But why would you bother when you can just get an unlimited plan directly?

These grandfathered plans were/are true unlimited high speed plans. Unlimited plans today offer XXX amount of true high speed data and then they are either network managed or throttled where the speed drops to very low, almost unusable levels.

With network management, speeds drop when the towers are busy. That might be a few minutes, a few hours or some other time frame. These SIMs also give unlimited data to Verizon hot spots. For anyone that needs lots of true high speed data, this is a fantastic plan.

Yes you can rent them to someone, but you cannot transfer ownership. If you decide to "rent" it, do NOT give the renter access to your account. Just let them pay you and you pay Verizon. I did this for several years.

Is there something better for rural areas these days, or?

Starlink.

The only downside is Starlink is new, so it may be a bit of a moving target (that said, we are planning to get one this spring).

But really the "grandfathered unlimited cell plans" are old news. You can get new unlimited plans now. But reality is you already have a grandfathered plan or you don't, so it's really just a curiosity.

I use Visible. Where I live is "rural".
