When the iPhone4 launched on Verizon you had the option for an unlimited data plan($30).....as of March 2 no longer.......what do you think the new data plans will be?
I just got iPhone 4 on Verizon, both wife and I have unlimited data? March 2nd?!?
Those who signed up with unlimited will most likely be able to retain unlimited, at least through the end of their current contract. That's how AT&T has done it.
Cool. Have fun surfing the web on T-Mobile's GPRS...siiiiccckkk brrooo
I won't go to T-Mobile, I just won't renew my contract so I don't lose my unlimited. Not that hard to figure out.
I just talked to a some representatives from Verizon....I got different replies from each one said the unlimited plan was dead, another said get the unlim. plan now(he said you would have unlimited data even though they don't offer it anymore) and the last rep said they still offered the unlimited plan with a $20/1gb data plan for smartphones(which they dont)....nobody knows whats what
I have unlimited data as well, have for a long time. My point is, if they're going to do away with it when I renew my contract I won't be renewing my contract.
Whoever told you (OP) that is severely misinformed.
$29.99/month grants you unlimited 3G data on the device.
This excludes any hotspot services.
That costs an additional $20/month, allowing for 2GB of usage.
Hotspot overage is $20/GB.
Someone mentioned iPad data not being unlimited anymore..
iPad data has never been unlimited.
iPad plans with the Mifi unit are $20/1GB, $35/3GB, $50/5GB, $80/10GB.
Those iPad packages are slated to stay the same for the iPad2 as well.
Data packages will likely change to tiered plans, but there are no plans for that in the near future.
I would estimate them moving to tiered data for all devices near 3Q/4Q of this year.
Cheers.

I misread the iPad data comment. Instead of removing what I wrote, I just want to correct myself, letting that commenter know I read what they said incorrectly.

Sounds just like at&t customer service reps!
Yes, it's ridiculous. I was talking to another rep yesterday and he/she(idk the name was like Chikei or something like that?) said "I'm sorry sir Verizon wireless does not carry the iPhone"
Haha, I was gonna say the same thing. I get a different answer about stuff from each person I talk to at AT&T. If I don't like one persons answer I just call back and talk to someone else.
