Anyone starting a new Mobile Share plan with Verizon that jumped from another carrier

[saberahul]

I couldn't justify spending $100 a month with 2GBs of data and unlimited talk and text, neither of which I need. So I went with Sprint, even though I realize Verizon has a better network here, I just don't care. I'll settle with 3G for now. They're supposed to be rolling out LTE and improving their network right now. Hell, I kept AT&T for years even though all we got here was 2G.

I know Verizon will likely get plenty of customers regardless, but I wish this would bite them in the ass. Those in need of an individual line are getting hosed by Verizon.

If Verizon should ever reconsider their plans, I might come back.

For family plans its cheaper. At least for me. By $3/month. So why not?

Anyone starting a brand new contract with Verizon with their mobile share plan from another carrier? If yes, were you willing to give up your existing cheap plan for the more expensive mobile share plan? Why?

Just trying to get an idea if anyone on the forums did this, and if so, whats the justification as I am struggling to decide whether i should stick with tmobile and wait till next month, or jump over to Verizon on att though the mobile share plan prices are ridiculous as I dont talk or text that much.

I was dead set on switching to Verizon until they rolled out these "Share Everything" plans earlier this past summer. My bill would go up $20/mo from what I pay now and I'd only be getting an extra 100MB of data. By forcing new customers to pay for unlimited minutes and messages whether they want/need them or not, Verizon lost me.

I reluctantly stuck with AT&T again, because I can keep my $60/mo plan from two years ago. It's not all bad though; I haven't had reception/dropped call issues with AT&T since the iPhone 3G days, and they'll have LTE here in a few months.

IMO share everything plan really works when you have a phone and a tablet, talk a lot or text a lot.

I was under the impression that data and phone at the same time was only possible on AT&T.??

Yes.
But if a Verizon iPhone is connected to wifi it can do both. Just not away from wifi.
