Verizon Introduces $80 Unlimited Data Plan With 10GB of 4G LTE Tethering

Just live chatted with the Verizon rep. I asked if the line access fee was included in the $80.00 or is the line access fee in addition to. She could not say for sure, as they did not have the information, yet. However, she said if it is like the other plans they have offered, line access fee will be in addition to the $80.00 like I l posted earlier.
Yeah, seems like they can't make up their minds (or are they playing follow-the-leader and doing what tmobile does?).
I read on the website that slowing to 3G applies after 10GB of tethering, not regular data usage.
The plan is $65 data, $20 access line, less $5 for paperless billing and autopay.

running your home network off the data plan or if you're out and about with your laptop you can tether it to your phone for internet connection
All he did was confirm the $80.00 plan. He wasn't addressing extra fees and taxes in his post.
So all these people willing to leave AT&T and "jump ship" to Verizon just happen to have CDMA phones lying around to use? Or they're going to pony up $600+ per phone to get a Verizon-compatible phone?
How do you "jump ship" from AT&T to Verizon? (and no, not everyone bought an unlocked Verizon iPhone 7 to use on AT&T waiting for this very day to happen!).

AT&T brought it back, but you have to be a U-verse or internet customer. AT&T can't just give you *decent* deal. They have to be getting more of your money somewhere else.
And hotspot is not included with the AT&T unlimited:
"After 22GB of usage, reduced speeds may apply. Tethering and Mobile Hotspot use prohibited (except for Connected Car)."
Think Verizon is doing this in anticipation of Att raising their UDP in march....makes perfect sense. Gouge some of those customers who will be getting off of the shackles of att without paying ETF
No proof that it's included. But there is proof that there is a line access fee as of today. Not sure if the fee is applied come tomorrow.
For those with AT&T 6/6S/5S/etc, they're cross compatible with both carriers. Only the 7 is where they differ.
I did buy a Qualcomm iPhone 7, but according to posts on Reddit, VZW is offering a Verizon iPhone 7 for your AT&T iPhone 7/6s. Straight swap, if you are porting in.
We'll talk when it has a minimum of 20GB at LTE speeds. Otherwise, I'll stick to my More Everything 30GB plan.
$80 for a smartphone, and $80 for a tablet (that doesn't talk or text). When are tablets going to get some decently cheap data plans?
Just remember, it's verizon, they will screw you over in the end and you'll remember why you didn't have them to begin with.
I have t-mobile and loving it.
As it stands, I will get 22GB+ (possible deprioritized after that) plus 10GB tethering per month, for the same price I am paying now for my 12GB plan (+2GB for life and tethering included as part of the monthly data allowance).
Becuase that is a lie. 10GB is for tethering. For data you get 22gb just like AT&T and Tmobile before they might deprioritize you.
This is actually pretty competitive. If T-Mobile ever got to the point where I wanted to switch away, Verizon gets the win.
No... That's not how deprioritization works. Depending on where you are, you might see slower speeds in congested areas. In others, you probably won't notice a difference at all.
That's only in regard to tethering usage.
You won't always be slowed down after 22GB; that's not how deprioritization works. Depending on where you are, you might see slower speeds in congested areas. In others, you probably won't notice a difference at all.

I was most interested in TravelPass, but it still looks like it's $10 per day and not $10 per month for international data. T-mobile's unlimited international data is a huge draw to me, but it'd be a hassle to disentangle myself from Verizon since I'm the primary account number on a five-line family plan.
