Cost of verizon service?

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.

 

Cost is too high.

 

If you only need 1-2 lines, the individual plan with unlimited talk, unlimited text and 2GB data is just $60/mo and that includes device subsidy

 

2GB that is ridiculous, I would go through that in a few days. Verizon is a joke!

 

Yes, well, the same plan on AT&T is $80/mo.

If you need more data, then there's T-Mobile $30/100 min/5GB, Straight Talk $45, Cricket $45-50/5GB and Cricket $55-60/10GB.

Verizon's More Everything plan pricing is pretty much on par with AT&T's.

 

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.

 

Not everyone streams music / videos all day. Plus there's this thing called "WiFi" that alot of people have at home and work...

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.
