You have unlimited data right now.. but not for long.. trust me. Sprint has jus recently put 4g towers in my area(augusta, ga) which is on par with Verizon so why not save $50 a month!! Verizon does have excellent service but Sprint is catching up fast!! My contract doesn't end til january so if sprint let's me down I have 30 days to send it back and cancel service..

I have unlimited data with Verizon and will keep it since I have been with them so long it was grandfathered in. But I have to admit Verizon is pissing me off with the bootloader and giving people crap about why we activate our phones so much. They know we are sbfing the damn thing.

I live in the western portion of North Carolina and Sprint service here is terrible. When I had Sprint, while in town where service was supposed to be "best" my calls would drop like crazy. I could go into a store and service would go away completely. I had the same issue with AT&T. By far Verizon has the better network in my area. It's sad that we cannot get our BL unlocked but I remain hopeful. As per price, VZW is costly but people keep paying them so I'm sure they don't plan to change that anytime soon.
I used to work as a Verizon tech support agent with Verizon Online DSL which sucked hard. I had nothing to do with the phones, unfortunately. But yeah, I have been considering moving to sprint, but, alas, the Verizon Galaxy Nexus is just beyond the horizon for me. I must have it. I will soon leave this phone and forum and enjoy the freedom of an unlocked bootloader like I once had with my Samsung Fascinate. Oh how I miss that phone. But oh well. Its GNex for me.

Around here, unless you live in a bigger city Sprint in Northern Indiana has really no coverage. Hell where I'm at Verizon barely has any, either. But then again neither does the Death Star or any other carrier. This area is a black hole for cellular signal. Although VZW is a little more costly as far as coverage you can't beat it. Now hardware on the other hand...
The other reason I left Sprint was because when I was married and the wife went on vacation to Maine several times a year Sprint had no coverage. Imagine my surprise when they tell me that I have an $800 bill because the signal was bouncing off Canadian towers. Granted from where her father lived I could throw a stone and hit Canada,she was still on US soil. Hence the other reason i switched
Sprint was the first carrier I ever had. The reception sucked and I had horrible service. I since moved through carriers and settled in with Verizon since I rarely go through patches where I lose service.
I too still receive the unlimited data since having the plan for so long. I have some friends and family who remain on Sprint and honestly, all I hear them do is complain. Perhaps they're chronic complainers, I don't know or perhaps its the area they use the phone in, but I don't hear many good things despite being in a fairly metropolitan area.
I also receive a 25% discount on the plan and accessories so that helps keep me a loyal customer. If they get rid of unlimited data, I'd possibly consider but so far Verizon seems to be the better of the two evils for me.
Im no legal wizard but I firmly believe if they changed all of us who are grandfathered in it would be breach of contract. We renewed our contracts and they decide to change it? Not only would I go elsewhere but id tell them where to shove their early termination fee. At $250 per month Id better be getting unlimited!

Doubtful that it would be breach of contract because they reserve the right to adjust as necessary. They litter their contracts with jargon and other nonsense so normal people have no interest to actually read it word for word and simply put their trust in them.
They simply adjust what needs to be adjusted and use whatever clause is in the contract that states they can make changes as necessary for the betterment of the network and its users. Even if that means throttling the highest data usage customers.
Chances are though they wouldn't out right get rid of it and force us all onto limited data contracts. They'd completely do away with it if they wanted and when it came time for renewing the contract, it simply would not be an option. I wouldn't worry about this happening though.

also in january sprint "restructured" the family plan....cost was the same...but the way it broke it down made me spend 20 bux more a month becuase my discount wasen't applied the same way
after a couple phone calls....i finally talked to a cool supervisor...since Sprint changed my contract "technically" this happened in jan...for EVERYONE keep in mind
they will let you outta ur contract with NO ETF's - but only for sixty days

Personally, I would not blame Sprint, they have the best plans and service in the business if you ask me.
Blame the employees!!! We have a few forum members here that can root the hell out of a phone and tell you exactly whats up. The remainder of Sprint employees could not tell you how to boil and egg!!!
I have proof!!! My power botton fell off some how and I took it back to Sprint August 20, 2011. I took it to Sprint and 2 homeboys came out the back. The first thing out of his mouth, "Have you had this phone for 30 days or less?"

Don't blame you. Verizon is a better carrier. Can be more expensive, but better else wise. US Cellular is a regional carrier that shares Verizon's network and they have equal reception (no 4G though) in the areas I go with excellent family pricing and superb customer support. If it weren't for that, I'd be back with VZW.

This fee will help us continue to provide customers with the level of service and support they have come to expect which includes Wireless Workshops, online educational tools, and consultations with experts who provide advice and guidance on devices that are more sophisticated than ever.
Oh and they offer a trade in program. Yeah they wanna give you $50 for a phone they still sell retail for $649 or contract of $299.
They dont know their head from their ass most times. I think they have so many call centers so the person that said they were going to help you cant be reached. You know how sometimes they say the call may be recorded, well I sure wish it would be too.

I pay the 11 some dollars a month for the TEP plan on my phones line, and I love the benefits. Since my first samsung moment dropped, I've probably had
3 replacement Samsung Moments
5 replacement EVO 4G's
5 replacement EVO 3D's
2 Replacement Blackberry Bold 9650's
I realize that's a lot of phones, but when you send out refurbed phones that were broken and then "repaired" what can you expect. I've honestly NEVER physically broken a phone to date (knock on wood), they've all suffered from software issues, or charging ports detaching etc.
Here's my question. I was talking to my friend last night, and he wants a new GS3 because of a superficial issue with his screen. I've had one or two phones replaced for some silly reasons, so I understand why he'd want a new one, but to date I've NEVER been charged for a phone replacement. They said it's a 150.00 fee for any kind of issues, and that's part of his TEP plan (He pays the 11.00 also).
Am I lucking out because I'm friends with all of the reps there? If there's a problem I walk into the store, ask for a replacement phone, they order one and I'm out of the store in 5 minutes and then the phones there tomorrow by 2pm. Can anyone chime in on this?
He will ONLY have to pay the 150 deductible if is physical damage.

Even with the $10 added fee it's still cheaper than anyone else for unlimited data. It's not a big deal.
I see the fee as one for unlimited data - way cheaper for me than the other business models. So I'm willing to pay.
Unfortunately when you get less than 200kbps at best you still pay a premium data fee and who cares about unlimited data when your speeds are pathetic. My phone is basically useless unless I'm on WiFi. Sprint won't cancel your contract unless you're roaming excessively and costing them money.

A quick story about the fee being for smartphones. My daughter's EVO had a software issue that I couldn't fix so we went to the Sprint store and switched her temporarily to her old LG Optimus. The Rep was able to remove the $10 fee. So tell me how is this possible if you can still have a non 4g capable smartphone on the plan? I do agree though that it is cheaper than the alternatives.
No clue. I just know they add it to all smartphones whether they have 4g or not. As of over a year.
Last year the only android phone that didn't get the fee was the Samsung replenish which is a piece of crap of a phone.
Sprint changed the 4g fee in August 2010 to a premium data fee for Android, wp, and BB phones.
You must have gotten a good Rep then.

The problem is I had decent coverage until I moved to a more urban area and now my coverage absolutely sucks.
Spent a half hour on the phone today with a "technical support" rep who was just reading off her computer how to update my profile and other pointless things. Trying to blame my poor speeds on my phone. She wanted me to take my phone to a repair center until I told her it can't be my phone because all four of my phones are just as bad. She finally told me she would pass it down to the service techs in my area and call when they figure something out. They keep blaming it on an outage, but it has been this bad for over a year.

there would also be a deductible for loss/theft, although I realize that didnt happen here.
I know folks here are mostly enthusiastic about the One so please encourage me for strong reasons to stay...
I am from Verizon ... giving up their unlimited data plan
And from Galaxy Note 2 ... giving up the 3100 mAH battery...
What do you think, if you were me....
I am so torn but HTC One is just too beautiful to pass
I don't necessarily think the One is worth it, but AT&T gets almost every phone or can use the international version. I switched to AT&T from Verizon 2 years ago for that reason, and there has never been a phone on the market that I wanted but couldn't have Well worth it.

I wouldn't give up unlimited data IF they're not throttling data after 5gb. Which I'm told they're doing

Verizon is forcing everyone off unlimited data on next phone upgrade. So even if you stay on Verizon you will not have unlimited data for long unless you buy the phone off contract.

Don't do it your gonna hate it. All att has is the best phones and great service and top lte. Not to mention the HTC one. Honestly if you need convincing I suggest you just stay put.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I would do it. Just pulled the trigger myself. and like it was said, you will be buying a full price phone, on verizon anyway since they are killing unlimited plans. And the One is oh so sexy! Time to put my note 1 on craigslist.

Was really thinking of switching to AT&T from Verizon for the ONE. But Verizon just announced that they are offering any phone for 99 down and a monthly payment plan... And we keep the unlimited data. I have 2 lines.

I have to second this. Verizon's network coverage was (and still is) great, but their limited selection of phones always drove me nuts! AT&T used to have a reputation for slower network speeds and poor service, but they're worth it now!

Yeah no complaints about AT&T service here. My LTE is consistently faster than my Verizon friends here in the D.C. area.

Any folks near New York area using ATT service? Do you have coverage when you have some road trip to Bear Mountain or some other hiking place?
My biggest fear was losing data connection when you need the driving direction the most.
Verizon saved me once in Ithaca back then near those wineries, but I am not sure if AT&T can pull off the same there....
Thanks for any comments here.
I am not so concerned about the unlimited thing because my wife will still be using Verizon's unlimited line in our family plan. Not like I lose such option forever.
I'm from Albany, drive down to Long Island a lot, take the Amtrak train occasionally. LTE is hard to come by, but Hspa is pretty consistent. No complaints at all. I jumped from big red in 2011 and haven't looked back. AT&T has been great to me.

I travel from New Haven to NYC everyday and I get pretty consistent LTE speeds.

I'm in the same boat - gave up VZW + Unlimited data, and I had a Galaxy Nexus. Just got my HTC One after a week wait (argh). What a great device!
AT&T 4G (at least download speeds) are so much slower than VZW's (from speedtests). The upload on AT&T 4G is slightly faster. Overall happy with the service here.
I'm onboard too I switched from Verizon and I'm pleased with the service! Yeah the lte isn't as fast but I barely use data... I was dropping calls left and right on Verizon and I haven't yet on att

Yeah but basically you are paying twice for the phone. Verizon does not lower the price of their plans which includes a new phone subsidy, then on top of that they take the full price of the phone and charge you monthly for that until you pay it off. And lastly a $24 financing charge. Verizon is the ultimate scam corporation.

White G2 free today from Verizon!

Some deal, you get locked in for 2 years with the highest priced carrier with little to no data usage... Suckers

It's also free via Sprint, for new lines and upgrades, but you need to use the holiday tab to get it free for upgrades.

Not so bad if you do the unlimited data bait & switch. Not all of us have the convenience of reliable coverage from multiple carriers in our areas regardless of what coverage maps show.
Quit judging, I'm just passing on info man.
There's a reason Sprint is cheap, their coverage sucks.

Some of us don't care as we are already WITH these carriers. If we are going to use them anyway, why not take advantage of a free phone?? (I am with ATT not verizon but same ol' same ol')
I am sick of peoples insistance that contract free is so great. If you live outside the USA, MAYBE, inside the USA that is not even close to true unless you A.) enjoy crap service B.) barely move C.) Never use your phone.
I would take AT&T or Verizon over any prepaid crap service and featureless "plan" any day of the week, hands down. I have tried many difference prepaid services and they are all the same, terrible spotty service, slow speeds, and hack call quality. Again this does not apply outside the USA, but here, prepaid is AWFUL.
I have no interest in swapping carriers, therefor I chose to use my upgrades and get free/discounted phones since I am going to continue to use AT&T anyway. My plan price does not go down if I do not, there is no advantage to me for not upgrading other than allowing to me to switch carriers.

No not from Sprint. I tried and then call to order via phone and itis only for new customer or add a line. called locall Sprint store and same deal.
Best Buy has it free for upgrade.
That's a really good deal. And what he said I have no intentions of leaving Verizon so it I'm going to pay the same anyway might as well upgrade. I lost my unlimited and now I'm on the 6 gig plan. I average like 2 gigs a month so it was no big deal for me. My daughter average 30 gigs a month so she pretty much has to stay unlimited lol

I rushed to the Bestbuy store on BF for $49.99. Fought for parking space, waited in long line and now find out it's free.
I can only laugh at myself. Sad but laughable.

Some of us don't care about being locked into a contract. Where I live Verizon's coverage is so much better than everyone else's that I'll gladly pay more for it. Also, Verizon is offering former unlimited customers 6 GB of data for the 2 GB price with no additional strings attached. So the little to no data usage part doesn't apply either.
Did the exact same thing. BF $49 and cyber monday free. I took my receipt to best buy and they credited back my card. It was simple and fast.
Ordered mine for $0. Added as a new line. I already have a S3 on unlimited. Planning to break the contract immediately after activation and pay $350 ETF. Pay 1 day prorated monthly charge. Profit :laugh::good:. Sell my S3 for $180-$200 on ebay. U cant get such a good phone for $350 and still retain unlimited.
Have chat transcripts with VZW reps..who said doing such a thing will only result in a $350 ETF!!

You can get the deal if you use the loophole. I just did it twice, once for my line and just this week for my wife's line.
We both had upgrades due on our unlimited lines. We have 5 lines total on a national family plan, 2 are feature phones & 3 are smartphones. I transferred our upgrades to the feature phone lines, got the g2's at the promo price, and activated the new phones on the former feature phone lines. Immediately reactivated the feature phones on their respective lines by dialing *228 which deactivated the new phones and automatically cancelled the mandatory data plans required by the upgraded devices. Now that both new phones are free from their original lines, I popped in our SIM cards which reactivated the new phones on our unlimited lines.
So, new phones for promo pricing and unlimited data retained=win/win.
