FWIW, this is probably going to get confusing for you, because some people are going to be posting about old grandfathered rate plans that you won't be able to sign up for.
Well, I thought the same, but had a chance to view my previous unlimited plan. Being wireless most of the time works for me, so I don't mind right now. What ticked me off is they use your data in this Loyalty plane for texts. Plans do suck for most of verizon customers.
While I agree Verizon is notorious for high prices, the $60/2gb plan actually seems like a good value to me considering it includes a free $450 device subsidy every two years.
Break up the $450 subsidy into 24 months = $18.75/mo. So really it's like you are paying $40.25/mo (instead of $60) for unlimited talk/text + 2gb of data on Verizon. Not too shabby IMO. Much better deal than the Verizon pre-paid MVNO Page Plus that only gives you 1gb and no LTE for $40/mo.
