Makes me even happier that I am a grandfathered unthrottled unlimited data holder.
Got a tip for us?

Carrier Verizon to start offering Rollover data

This has been the case with everything Verizon (I've been a long time customer). At least in my experience.
I hope this gets added to the XL plans without me having to do anything.
I've been with Verizon for about 14 years. Believe me I'm almost jumping up and down about this.
I pay for a 10GB data plan and use between 6-9GB per month. It would be great if the remainder carried. I also considering paying the $5.00/month and never worrying about overages again.
I am not as old of a customer as you, but I'm close to 10 years
. I also am very happy about this. We pay for the 18GB plan and we use about 6-10GB/mo. Same for the $5/mo overage - will be hopping on that.
If you're getting rollover and only use 6-9GB/mo. (or 6-10 out of 18) you can probably save yourself the $5/mo.I am not as old of a customer as you, but I'm close to 10 years
I totally missed that it looks like the Safety Mode is included with XL and XXL. But you also have a very good point, lol.
Unless I'm mistaken, the 18gb plan would not incur the $5 charge. It is simply included.I am not as old of a customer as you, but I'm close to 10 years
Edit: this has been. Covered.
I use 6-9GB by being conservative. If I actually streamed Spotify or podcasts as much as I wanted id hit the data cap
So all the unlimited data I don't use will get rolled over to the next month? Groovy? lol
Yeah, I don't use wifi, except at home and I don't care how much data I use...I'm paying a fair price for it after last year's rise in prices of ULD plans. But I don't think the total data usage on the plan ever exceeded 20gig for four lines.
Nothing on the website today - I tried to change my plan and nothing there either. I guess I'll have to be patient. lol
I guess I'll have to be patient. lolAssuming the original date mentioned by the rumor (as well as the rumor itself) was even right, it could just be something that has been pushed back a bit (like starting over the weekend, or perhaps on/around Independence Day).

It would be a dream come true so to speak for me and my wife regarding the safety mode. We have too many devices to switch at this point and providing it isn't extremely slow it would basically be unlimited data in a sense for us. I would be satisfied with 8mb. We really could use the unlimited data.
VZW is cheaper than even Sprint for me because of the discounts I get.
I used to be a Verizon corporate sales rep but left to get my Master's Degree. I miss that 50% off bill. It's no doubt they have the best service, I just don't like how expensive they are. I had Sprint three years ago and it was a disaster. I've heard they've improved though.
Some ? info here.....

Discounts definitely help, but I'm paying less on Sprint with 3 phones with unlimited everything and no throttling than I would on AT&T and Verizon.
I get 25% off w/ Verizon and got 15% (or 10%, I don't remember) through Sprint. When I switched to Verizon with the 25% off, my bill was like $15 less, and at the time, Verizon offered unlimited data. I've seen switched to like 12 gigs shared between three lines.
I actually really liked Sprint and their customer service was awesome... but money talks and when my buddy told me about the deal Verizon had with the discount I jumped ship.
I've considered going back to Sprint but the cost is too high! Crazy, right? Not switching to Sprint from Verizon because of price... whodathunkit?! Hehe
I been with them all and T-Mobile has been the best to me. Glad I'm with them, they paid off my contract with AT&T thank God. On T-Mobile I get unlimited unthrottled data, unlimited hotspot, unlimited talk and text, free roaming, LTE is superb in my area, great coverage and super fast.
My bill is around $92 a month but well worth it. I use lots of data and my fingers are on my phone nonstop.
Verizon can keep the roll over causeme gots unlimited data... Verizon is evil

No, you don't. There are only two true unthrottled unlimited plans out there. The old Verizon plan and the iPad AT&T plan.
No, you don't.

You get around ~11 or so gb of hotspot data included.
Why must T-Mobile fans always exaggerate everything about their beloved carrier?
