Help me here. AT&T is limiting FaceTime to only those on family plans. Their LTE coverage is not available here in Portland yet so I'm considering switching my wife and I to Verizon and to a family plane even though I'd lose my unlimited contract. I don't use enough data to justify it - maybe together we use 2-3gb if you include an iPad.
If we switch to Verizon what happens if we want to FaceTime with someone on AT&T that isn't on wifi or on a family plan? FaceTime is really important now that we have kids so it's a consideration and frankly I'm tired of AT&T.
Also, will Verizon be able to do voice and data now at the same time on the new phone?
Anyone?

FaceTime over cellular requires a plan change on AT&T, to one of the mobile sharing plans. FaceTime over WiFi can still be used.
I don't see the big deal with FaceTime being a deal breaker, seeing as there are numerous apps out there that do the same thing (Skype).
Verizon will not be able to do voice and data at the same time, which will always be a deal breaker for me. I guess you can get an app for that too (Skype).
I just guess what's most important to you. Me, it's cost, my unlimited plan and voice and data together.
