Verizon Double Data Promo

[ercsliberty]

I'll pass. I'll just stick to my unlimited data plan and purchasing at full retail.

well, if you eligible for an upgrade, you can get subsidized price and keep UDP

Doesn't start until tomorrow-

I am going to move from the 10gb to the 15gb (30gb) as I plan to buy an ipad for xmas or whenever the new ones release.

I get 21% off of data so that $100 vs. $130 or $79 vs. $102.70

How about if you buy phones full price, though? Would you be able to keep it forever then?

Yes

If the person you spoke with is correct, then the AT&T offer is better. You keep it until you change to a different plan/data amount.

Also, am I reading correctly that BYOD doesn't get the $25/line/month discount? Only Edge? My plan with AT&T right now gives the $25/line/month discount as long as it's not a subsidized contract.

Don't think I'll switch since coverage is about equal for me.

Talked to two people, both said this. The ATT plan may be the same thing. In Verizon's case, you have to select a plan when you upgrade, this promotional plan may not be available to select. I am assuming the upgrade process is the same with ATT, but please correct me if I am wrong.

If I move my family unlimited data from ATT will verizon give me also unlimited data?

Unfortunately, no.

Has there ever been a plan where the carrier essentially forced all users out of? They typically come up with convincing marketing or coerce users to leave by making things extremely difficult (throttling etc.) - but have they ever forced everyone off a plan unilaterally?

Is this true? I've have 2 lines that are eligible for upgrade on a UDP. I didn't want to pay full retail. Just wondering if they've changed the policy recently...

Apparently if you swap in your old SIM before powering the phone on, you keep your unlimited data.

I'm so happy for this promo. I got excited and tried to change my plan today. Can't change it till tomorrow. I'm going to downgrade my 20gb line to a 15gb line (30gb line under promo) and save money and gain 10gb of data. Plus I get a nice 21% discount. I shouldn't be this happy about a phone plan. lol.

Oh, the rep stated that once you are on the one of these plans, and after October 31st, you stay on the promo plan until you change your plan.

Thank You T-Mobile

CANCELLED (for those with unlimited who were going to fall for this plan)-> http://www.droid-life.com/2014/10/0...network-optimization-of-unlimited-data-users/

That's awesome. I just wish they would've kept the unlimited data for grandfathered users (before they ended it in 2011).

From my last ATT Next upgrade, it didn't let me choose a plan. It just showed me my existing one.
