I signed up yesterday by phone. When I told the rep that I had read that the plan would be ending on the 21st she said that was the $75 plan and that the $70 ($65 auto pay) would be continuing indefinitely..just goes to show you can't believe anybody these days, especially wireless company reps and rv salesmen!! Anyhow I'm signed up and using my trusty old 5510L..we'll see what develops!!

One says it is retiring then it says you can be grandfathered in ???

I know this is probably all about the new 5G coming on line...

I have the VERIZON 6620L JETPACK here with 5GB per month setup... Guess I will still be good to go with this unit...

Does any of this affect my VERIZON CELL PHONE PLANS. It is unlimited data... and unlimited talk...

No it shouldn't
This is about the Unlimited (but potentially managed) prepaid Data Plan" Updp" for 70 bucks a month 65 if you auto pay ( one of the best deals out there for the last 6+ months) . Your Going to no longer be able to get in just a couple days. Those on the plan ,if they keep paying the monthly fee, will still keep it. If you turn it off ( or don't continue to prepay) for over I think its 2 months, can't get it back.
It was quietly dropped from the web site a couple weeks ago.

Bill - Over the years we have really paid a big VERIZON CELL PHONE BILL but of late two of our users have switched to TRAC PHONES pay as you go plan that is carried by VERIZON TOWERS... I am the only one left on the Verizon BILL now... Thinking about going too but once I leave I will lose the unlimited plans for sure... They have been grandfathered for years now...

We definitely don't travel hardly any more now

I just signed up. The online option only had the cheaper hotspot, but I was able to speak with a rep and was able to order the 8800 jetpack over the phone. This is a US plan but she did say it was good for Canada and Mexico.

I believe it is, but you have to sign up for Travel Pass for $10/day per line. This info is in the article.
