Verizon Unlimited how's it working for you?

Just got the plan 3 days ago. It is a little faster than the 4g I had. Problem discovered yesterday. I have the 10gb plan. They did not offer me the unlimited. I used 1/2 the data in 2 days....which by my calculations is impossible. Not sure what's going on and how I could be eating up all that data. I used .75gb on first day and 4.25gb on 2nd day which is not correct at all.
Anyone got any suggestions on what happened. I did a back up on my iPhone but it was at a version store and used their wifi.

Other than this, it seems to be fine...what is the unlimited plan all about??? I might have to switch over to that.

Did you have the network assist turned off? When activated, the phone will access 4g LTE to assist wifi with large downloads. Original concept was to ensure best end user experience. It actually burns large amounts of data. Samsung phones are shipped with the option turned off. Some IPhones were shipped with option on by default.

We have 2 I-phones and the unlimited talk, and text plan with 3 G's of data. Looked at upgrading to the unlimited plan and it would cost use $55 more a month in addition to the $118 we already pay. Clerk basically said that the $45 per line quoted on TV was for 4 lines and even though I only have 2 lined I'd still have to pay the $45 x 4 lines to get the unlimited plan\!!!!!!!

No!

there is a (2) line plan, somebody else on here has it and posted about it

its NOT an exact $90

but its way less than the $180 that 'uninformed' person told you

be sure you goto a corp store or online corp site
not the mall kiosk or multi brand reseller

We switched to the Verizon unlimited plan over a month ago on our phones and MIFI. Our salesperson said they would only switch us from 4G to 3G after 10G if the tower was busy and he'd never seen that happen in Naples. We get it home and 1 week later it said we hit 10G (no streaming or even heavy usage). They literally shut it off. It didn't go to 3G it shut down. We should have stayed with our unlimited plan. I will say wheh it works it is fast!!

We went to the Verizon store last week to see about changing to the "Unlimited" plan and the clerk advised us to stay with our 30G plan, as Verizon had notified them that they were going to rigidly enforce the 10G limit on hot spots and using the phone as a hot spot.

AND, once you give up your existing plan (if it's a large data plan that is no longer being offered), you can't get it back. :(

The clerk made sure I understood, once I dropped the 30G plan we could not get it back.

I used 80 gigs last month streaming and hotspot never slowed down

No issues for me except I use to much data but then it all work related. I average 30gb a month and since switching to unlimited it saves me $$ and no change in performance that I noticed so far. I did call verizon and asked about the limits and was told if I live in a metro area and reach 28gb the bandwidth could be throttled back depending on demand but that is unlikely.

If you can hold off a month or 2 5G is coming out. Its worth the wait if time permits.

The 28gb "network management" only applies to your phone. If its a hotspot or you are tethering to your phone you are limited to 10gb. They have just started enforcing that. You will see speeds slow to 3g speeds when tethering now.

I've had the V Unlimited since mid Dec when it came out.
I love it. It is LTE fast. Used 113GB last month streaming Netflix on my Television.
I had the 16GB plan before and now paying $30 per month less.
Can't beet that. More data for less money.
I use my iPhone as a hot spot for all my other stuff.
I had ATT before for 30 years.

Verizon is limited to 10gb for hotspots and tethering. They haven't enforced it until recently. People are starting to complain because they didn't understand the limit.
