Verizon MiFi Rate increase???

I am still running my 3GB data plan for MIFI for $30 a mo. It is now grandfathered.. I didn't think they could increase a grandfathered thing???

Guess I better look at my OCT bill haha...

Just checked my OCT bill and my MIFI 3GB account looks normal here???? AS I recall it didn't go up with the previous price increase we a couple of years ago... I have two cellphones on grandfathered unlimited allowances that went up $20 a month for each of the two accounts with the last increase. They called it a usage fee or something like that added on a separate line. Its kinda like a fine or something for being grandfathered haha...

That plan is a $250/mo value to the open market: http://unlimitedville.com

$80/mo is a steal.

Look at it this way: you've been getting an absolute steal for a long time while prices and usage have increased. Check out their current package prices.

X2 Verizon Unlimited Data Plans are the Holy Grail for RVers or anyone else that uses much data. I would NEVER give it up.

This.

I wouldn't be complaining about that at all...unless you're a very light data user.

I began getting a $20 increase a couple months ago - for no reason. Took me a month, but I got my old service back - indefinitely (Maybe??) The tech said, "You came in and changed it to a new plan." My response: "Why would I change to a new, more expensive plan when the ole one I had was better and less cost?"

So, after a "Never Give Up" struggle, I now get my "$20 less plan" again. It seems Verizon arbitrarily upgrades a plan and hopes we don't notice. We do!

Have you seen the cost of a 40 gig plan ?? 79.00 is a steal !
If you don't use a lot of data ( watch video 20-60+ gig) they are using this to get rid of you. For those who use tons of data these not sold anymore truly unlimited plans are very valuable. Verizon is trying to get rid of these plans and those who don't really use the data will dump them taking them out of the "market"
You do know there are those that will pay good money to transfer or "sublease" Or whatever way some way use to obtain These plans.

Usually telling them to discontinue the service works.

I am letting mine go when the contract is up, I can use my phone as a mobile hot-spot and it will serve my needs. If you have an I-phone it will kick off when a call comes in, but an Android phone will take voice calls and will also do wireless at the same time.

You have a Verizon Unlimited Data Plan that is still in contract?

Corporate plan that I have had since 02/08. 32.26 per month taxes included.

UDPs are pretty valuable. Have you thought about putting the SIM from the phone into a Jetpack and using it as a dedicated hotspot?
