Verizon Unlimited Data

Hello Folks! I am told that Verizon just released an Unlimited Data plan option, but you have to call and ask for it.

I'm calling into them now, but if this is true, it could save us a ton of dough.

If you are on Verizon, you may want to give them a shout.

All the best!
  • Someone this morning said you only had 14 days to switch. I don't know what they meant???
  • I'm happy to post an update in a few weeks. I just switched. With 2 phones + a hot spot, we transitioned from the 60gb plan to the unlimited. If it works as advertised, it will save us $100+ a month. Though we are not full timing, we do stream quite a bit when we are out, so the overage fees can be super expensive!

    More to come!
  • I would be very interested with a response from someone that switches. I really want to know if they disable the hotspot.

    When I had unlimited with them a while back, my phone would not let me hotspot. I am on a 12gb plan now and I can hotspot my phone whenever I have 3G or LTE service.

    Thanks

  • I have AT&T's unlimited and they say they will throttle you back after 22GB but they never have (I've used 30+ GB - nothing much more than that). Or, if they have throttled it back I haven't noticed. I don't know about "below dial-up speed". I would like to think the reduction would be less drastic. AT&T does not allow tethering, however, when you have the unlimited plan.
  • By unlimited, they mean 22gb. After that, you drop down below dial-up speed. If you tether (wifi hotspot), unlimited means 10gb. $80/m for 10gb seems kinda pricey imho, how much is 10gb from Walmart?
