Verizon to Kill Grandfathered Unlimited Data Plans. This Is ********.

[zigzag3143]

Unlimited data on Verizon is dead. The death rattle just wheezed out during Verizon Communications CFO Fran Shammo's dream-killing presentation at the JP Morgan Technology, Media and Telecom conference. Everyone with a grandfathered unlimited data plan will be forced to switch to a tiered plan when they upgrade to LTE. It's absurd, warrantless, and sadly, typically, aggressively anti-consumer.

Looks like Verizon is backtracking a bit: Verizon: You can have unlimited data... just no device subsidies | Mobile - CNET News

Now Verizon says that it will allow customers to keep their existing unlimited data plans if those customers either continue to keep their existing device or they buy a new device at the full retail cost of the smartphone.

In other words, if you renew your contract and purchase a subsidized phone, you lose the option to keep your unlimited plan.
