Tierd data

Is that just for one line or if ypu have a family plan and get the 5g will it go for both lines
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App

well seeing as how there is currently no shared data plan for family plans atm, it will probably be per line, not per family account.

The majority of people use 2gb of data so that's $30. Right now data cost 30$ so this won't affect the majority. Power users use more than 2 using anywhere from 5-10gb so these power users have to pay extra because Verizon loves money. I use 6gb and sometimes 8gb so ill worry about this when I grab my Droid Incredible 3

This tired plan really should be renamed to "lower caps and more money plans"..... I'm not entirely sure how on earth anyone could think this is good for the end users.

Wait ... can someone please tell me if I'm on a family plan with 3 Smart phones (my Inc2, and 2 Droid Charges) with the unlimited data, when we upgrade or renew our contract, do we get to keep our unlimited data? Or is it unclear to everyone at this moment?

If you renew your contract, you are no longer grandfathered as you are agreeing to new terms. If you have current data plans with no intention to change/renew in the near future, you are covered with unlimited data. If you buy your device at retail without renewing your contract, your contract should remain the same.
More than likely if you have an unlimited plan, you will eventually start being harassed by Verizon to renew, upgrade, or do something else that will cause contract changes on your part to switch you to a limited data plan.
I am a power user. I have used upwards to 8gb in a month on 3G. Capping at a max of $10 for an ungodly amount per month is unacceptable. This would be too easy to break on 4G and I think that is their intention.
Sprint is pretty proud of their unlimited plans. If Verizon doesn't see the light before it comes time for me to renew again, I may forego my discount and move to Sprint if Sprint continues down the path of unlimited.

Nim dude this man be the first time ive ever seen that u were misled or misinformed about something. I too have a family plan set up (5 devices, 4 of which are smartphones) all unltd data and a 1400 min plan, and i have been told time and time again even after the recent purchase of my Inc 2 and my inlaws Charges' im continously told im fine, im grandfathered in.
I really havent seen any flux in my bill if anything i was actually quite surprised with my monthly after the dust settled.
EDIT:
I should also mention that i have a corporate acct, not a regular user acct.

I'm not misinformed. If you upgrade using their upgrade option, you are also renewing your contract. Renewing your contract means new contract terms should your current contract no longer be available/valid. This means upgrading after the 7th would mean you lose unlimited data. This is why people are rushing to get their upgrades in, so they can be grandfathered in.

well the month to month is being abolished, that's a given. it was a marketing move to reel in more business. Once the contracts are established they were given quazy deals to move from month to month to contractual.

i just called into their corporate accounts customer service and asked all about the how to of upgrading my current min/data plan come the end of July.
the rep verbatim said "there is no change that would take affect to my account when upgrading either. She said if necessary they can actually help me by giving me some extra min's if infact i am running low on my current set to hold me over till my next billing cycle".
"but as far as upgrading there are no extra fee's nor changes in packages coming any time soon, that she is aware of".
"so when the time comes in July to simply call and make the upgrade and go ahead and do so".

I talked to some Verizon employees and they all told me that whenever I renew my contract/upgrade with Verizon, I'll still be grandfathered in with the unlimited data, I'll try asking a different store if people have heard different.

I just called last thursday, and I was asking about canceling. I was really thinking about going to another carrier, I was interested in getting a Nexus S. I wasn't eligible yet for an upgrade, but they gave me an early one which was great. But I was talking to the guy, and his argument to stay was unlimited data, I said that tiered data was going to happen for them as well. He said he nothing of this, hadn't heard anything at all.
So now this, but who knows maybe they leave their employess in the dark. And maybe they dont read up regularly on engadet and droid-life like I do.
But they really need to get the prices down a bit. Tmobile you can get 500mins, unlimited text and 5gb of data for 79.99, The same thing on verizon would now be like over $100 I could be a bit off, but this could hurt them in the future.

There won't be anything you can do to your phone to keep them from throttling you.
The data will be passing through their network before it gets to your phone so they will just slow down the data passing through their network before you even see it.
No way around it unless you change carriers or use wifi.

D***...either way I'm having issues with their speed. I'm always pulling about 100kb/s as a down speed its unbelievable. I currently have 2 remedy tickets out because 3 outs of 4 techs can't do their freakn job right

Hey guys,
Glad this came up here. So I am grannyd in on my dinc2 (signed 2yr in July) along with a really good old verizon talk/text plan and with a business discount. So all in all things are peachy for me atm.
So here are the problems: the wife has long been up and needs to ditch her iphone from work. Wtf do I do?!
1. Do I wait this out to see what the family plans look like?
2. Or do I upgrade her now onto a 4g phone and get in before the family plans come out? Hell they might actually be ok if priced decently?!
3. Could I get a used 4g phone add that to my unlimited plan?!
4. Should I add her a data line and get her an off contact phone so we aren't locked in for 2yrs?! Is that possible?!
Jezus this is f'd up. These greedy mofos will go down at some point. And here is praying that Google does it from right under their own feet (their own network)

It's true about the new Evo. I'm so sad. I would have had my phone today and activated it on a new line of service. I think that since the patent in question is not being infringed upon it won't take long to clear, but it still really sucks. It's been sucky having only Wi-Fi for my phone, and I was really excited to come home today and activate it. I really hope it doesn't take very long to go through.

Unless like couple hundred of thousands people discontinue their contracts complaining about this issue, they won't do ****.

i think we need to see an official statement about it from verizon before the real outrage from more users is present...besides those of us who read every internet post out there, 99.9% of verizon users probably arent aware of their intentions
but if there is enough of an outcry, who knows?
verizon has canned stuff before (sadly not the $30 upgrade fee) but the supposed charge for paying your bill online was shelved when people flipped out
but my interpretation of what the cfo said is this (obviously its my opinion)
your next upgrade post family data plans will force you off unlimited (or whatever tiered plan you are on if on a family plan) and into either tiered (for single line accounts) or family data plan (for those with multiple joined lines)
if you upgrade between now and when the plans start, you should be ok for the next 2 years....
however there is speculation if on a family plan (shared minutes currently, individual lines on the same account shouldnt be affected) if *anyone* on the family plan upgrades, everyone gets kicked onto a shared plan automatically (we ll see)
i *think* after family data starts, if you buy devices off contract (though if you buy directly from verizon at full price they may try to screw you) you should be able to keep unlimited data.....
but when you are off contract, verizon can (with prior notification) change the terms of your month by month status at anytime and since you are off contract and they dont have to forgive your etf (cuz there is none) its take it or leave it
id like to blame the iphone 5....funny timing that this happens when a lte iphone is looming and vzw is surely worried about the data usage that could bring
anyway, just how i see it

I'm just wondering how this is gonna affect me. I have a family plan with 700 shared minutes but on my line I have 5000 texts and unlimited data.

Not going to happen, sorry.
Every carrier is moving to this model and Sprint wont be too far behind. This will impact 1% of Verizon customers the other 99% wont even notice the change. Why? Because right now they don't even know they have unlimited data or know how much the unlimited data is for. IF they were to call and complain it would take two seconds for a Verizon rep to point out they don't even reach 1Gb of data.

1. Are you on a family plan? If not then there is no reason to wait.
2. If you move to a 4G phone now you will be on unlimited data until you upgrade your next phone
3. No. Any phone change will trigger the data change
4. You can add a line with any Verizon approved phone. You don't HAVE to buy one on contract when adding a line.
Right now I'm paying $60/month for two phones with unlimited data. If the family tier offers 3-5GB month at $50-$60 I wont sweat it. Since we both started working from home our data use has dropped dramatically. Even when we both commuted we both barely got over 3GB combined. With individual plans being 2/30 and 50/5 I can only hope the family one comes in somewhere in line.

What do the data plans start at now anyways? 4gb?

2gb - $30

randomly certain phones will have "double your data" deals to get 4gb for $30 w/ 2 year deal

If you adjust quality settings you can make it stick. I was using Spotify an hour a day with high quality streaming and was just going over 2GB.
As for current plans, if you're unlimited you have a 5GB cap.

Oh I agree. It's just the idea of watching every friggen byte coming through. They already have me for 130/month for Fios 80/wireless. Here a-holes take my whole paycheck and fight it out with my ex.

Quick question about how new vzw plans will work

Now I'm sure this sounds dumb. Just about positive of it but what if I used my upgrade on another line on the same account? I'm assuming I'll still lose unlimited data? I mean I have another line that has an upgrade waiting that I'll use whenever the next phone I want comes out but I like having multiple upgrades lol.

No, you shouldn't lose unlimited data if you are giving your upgrade to another line on your plan.

Verify with Verizon

I recently bought a Galaxy Nexus with Verizon, because Amazon was selling it for 1 penny ($0.01), and Verizon had the double data plan for new customers (I am tired of Sprint's fake 4G, etc.).
Then I pre-ordered a Samsung Galaxy S III, on a 2nd line, upgrading to a Family Plan.
I asked Verizon directly if I would lose the double data rate deal, after the upgrade, and they claimed I would not.
Once I get the phone and activate it, I will check and verify. Also I chatted with a Verizon rep online, and kept the chat conversation and what they said.

The upgrade being used should only effect the account that "uses" the upgrade. So if its not your line, you shouldn't lose unlimited. I'd quadruple check when doing it though.
But eventually, when changing your plan or upgrading any phone, you'll be ushered over to the new share plans. Make sure they don't do that to you if you don't want it.

If you are willing to pay the full price of the phone and not resign a contract.. it pretty much is less money than having the 2-4 gig plan. As long as you are ok spending the 650 all at once.

Unlimited data is unlimited data, whether it be 3 or 4g. As long as you dont change your plan, you will always have unlimited data even if 5g ever comes out.

Two or more devices (phones, tablets, etc) actually. Cmlusco, Verizon announced Family Share Data plans that will go into effect on June 28th. If you (or anyone you know, SPREAD THE WORD) want to maintain your unlimited data plan you must upgrade by then OR pay full retail on future phones to keep your plan unchanged. The plan breakdown is ridiculous. Give me a bit and I can post a link detailing the new changes.

and
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/06/12/verizon-announces-shared-everything-plans-starting-at-50-for-1gb-of-data-and-unlimited-talktext/

I did some math and anyone switching from a unlimited plan will have the bill increase $30-$60 over before. $720-$1440 over 24 months still feel like a subsidized phone is a good deal?
I would say the best thing about the "shared" data plan is Unlimited talk.
Honestly
shared data should look more like this
unlimited talk+text 1 gig allocation per line with the same 40$ per smartphone line starting at 15 so the share plan starts at $55 and 2 phones would be $95 and the pool would be 2 gig in size. And it scales well.
I fail to see the point of such low caps with tethering and 4g we use it faster and on more devices.

Because of this whole ordeal I am seriously thinking about buying a nexus from google and going to T-Mobile. I can get unlimited there without feeling like i'm taking it up the tailpipe :/

I've been dreading this whole shared data business. Well today while ordering my replacement gnex they mentioned the plans to me so I let them do their whole pitch. Ends up if I suck it up and say buhbye to my unlimited data I can get a way better deal.
Right now I pay $280. Two smart phones at $90 each a dumb phone for $50 and a charge of $50 for some **** about having unlimited plans. If I switch to 10 gigs a month I pay $210. This is great for me since I use roughly 6 gigs tops and the other line uses maybe 1. Just my experience.

How? The guy above you paying $160 has Sprint. Sure it is uncapped and unthrottled but when your peak download is 2mbps in peak hours it Sucks. The guy paying $30 a month gets 5GB of HSPA+, unlimited texts and 100 minutes.

Back on topic.
I found that I would be paying 20-30 more a month with the shared plans.
I am on a 1400 minute family plan, 2 smart phones, 3 feature phones.
1 line has unlimited data
1 line has 4gb.
I pay about 235 a month.

I was thinking about this. I think it helps people more like myself who need unlimited talk and text. If I just dropped my minutes down it would make no sense but if I need to keep them its a good deal but that's also because for me 10 gigs might as well be unlimited

There used to be a time when we would need all those minutes, but now we could probably get away with 700 minutes with all the m2m and friends and family calling we do.

I had 10-15mbps WiMax 4G with the phone I sold to get this one. Didn't give a **** then, either. I don't even notice that I don't have it.
How do you utilize the LTE speeds you get? What do you do with your devices that actually takes advantage of it?
