I have 5 phones on my plan & 700 talk minutes shared between all of them.
We all text & have never come anywhere close to using 700 minutes until this month when we had a death in the family & my Wife talked a ton. We are about 5 minutes under the 700 & still a ways to go on this billing cycle.
Does anybody know what talk minutes cost if you go over the limit?? I looked on VZ's site but couldn't figure this out.
I don't want to call VZ & ask them because my Wife's phone has the unlimited data plan from the hotspot loophole & I don't want them looking too closely at my plan........
. 45/minute after 700.
The 1400 minute plan is only $20 more.

Thanks. I realize it's only $20, but I don't want to change anything on my plan & chance messing up the unlimited data thing (we all have unlimited data/texting).
I have had a cell phone for years & have never gone over the limit anyway & probably never will again.
I almost went over my 700 minutes last month, so I made my girlfriend (who is on at&t) download tango and told her to only call me on tango. that saved me from going over, but on the other hand, she almost exceeded her data lol

Just up your plan to 900 or 1400 they'll prorate your minutes.

I don't really want to update the plan, it is too expensive now and I don't really need more minutes. We have never used 700 minutes in a month before and will probably never do it again.
My son and I absolutely hate talking on the phone but we text all the time. My Wife on the other hand can talk for hours on the phone but we have a $19 Verizon unlimited landline she can use for that.
Talk to your relatives on the landline. Sorry to hear about your loss.

Thanks (my brother-in-law died)
My Wife almost sh!t when she realized how much time she had used on the cell account. We used something like 300 minutes last month and for years that has been a normal month for us.
She is using the landline now and we just have to get through this billing cycle with VZ and then everything will go back to normal again.
Can't you use Google voice? Or does that drain minutes too?
If you're keeping track, and you notice you ever go over, CALL customer support, and they can change the minute plan for the CURRENT month, which will only cost the extra $20 or whatever. This makes it so no overages. When the next month starts, just call and have it changed back. Minute plans do NOT affect unlimited data and the like if changed. Only removing a line, or removing/changing data.
I had to do this a few times when my sister was on my plan (first time she racked up $300 in minutes...)
Used to do CS for VZW... If you do go over, just call and change it up. Anything more than 45 min over will cost you more than the $20 price difference. Like someone else suggested you can always change it back on the first day of your next bill. You might even be able to get them to future-date it aka change it back effective next bill cycle. They'd look more closely at your account for overage than a simply plan change. Those are very routine.

i have gone over before when my mom was using her phone for her company and it sucks.... try no to.. we are just now getting it back on after 900+ dollars in charges
I dont know if it is still a service verizon offers, but I was able to call CS and they said I had 2 different minute credits i could use at any time. I think one was 150 min, and the other was 50. Once you start the credit it is added to your monthly plan, and you lose what you dont use at months end.
CS said after being a customer for so long you get these credits. Sorry Im not very detailed as this was 2 years ago when i used it.
FYI- I have been a VZ customer for 11 years.
You can upgrade your minutes and go back to 700 at any time.
You can also change your plan online. Done this many times when my wife and I first got married. Got her trained now though lol. J/K honey.
The squeaky wheel may get the grease. But the ***** gets slapped. Quitcherbitchin!

did you ever call Verizon and see about changing plans or having a compromise with the bill? That seems a little crazy...
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
i didnt know about that at the time... and they ended up waving the charges anyway... the reason the bill got that high was since we couldnt pay the overcharge we got behind on out payments and thats what we had to pay to get it back on a few months later

I would suggest against doing this. The first time i did this, regarding the sister as i mentioned in previous post here, i was under the impression it worked online the same way it does when calling CS... turns out thats incorrect, doing a plan change online future dates it for the next billing cycle. This was maybe 6-7 months ago for me. So take the 5 minutes and call CS instead of taking the quick route and doing so within My Verizon on the phone, or online.
Im a VZW fan, i get great reception in my area, and at work, people want to borrow my phone because most other carriers cant even get data in the building.
that being said, some of the highest bills i've personally seen (from idiot friends, and a couple idiot in-laws) has been from VZW. you start going Ala Carte for text, minutes, etc... you are screwed.
You can call into customer care and ask if them if there's any promotions on your line. Sometimes they can give you some bonus minutes and backdate them so you can avoid overages.

I just checked my verizon account and due to work, I have exceeded my minutes by about 200. Right now I have 450 mins, unlimited data, unlimited texting. I get a 20% discount from an old job that I no longer have. I pay 76 dollars a month.
If I simply add unlimited minutes to my plan, will I lose my discount/ unlimited data? Changing my contract worries me quite a bit.
The alternative, would be to get a second phone, probably on sprint. If I were to do that, I would like a phone that has a working cm9 port. The nexus s is antiquated. Any suggestions?
I could be wrong, but I think it's harder to lose unlimited data than changing your minutes. Verizon isn't trying to force people off the plans yet, like AT&T is.
Yes if done correctly you do not have to worry about losing your data because you change your minute plan. And if you talk to someone in customer service they will allow you to change your plan and credit you for the overages if they made it to your bill.

I had the same questions about changing my plan with minutes and texts. I asked the girl at the corp store and she said that it wouldn't effect my unlimited data. I would still ask at your store before doing anything but that's what I got for a answer at mine.

I've found VZW very good at asking about changes to the account.... just give them a call and ask.... if you don't like what you hear, do go forward with it.
I've changed my plan quite a bit and they always let me keep my unlimited data. Not sure about the discount though.

I wouldnt consider sprint. I hear their network is pretty bad and painfully slow.
You definitely don't have to worry about your unlimited data plan when changing minutes. I did it twice. Call and tell them you want to change minutes and no other changes. Tell them to make sure data stays unlimited. No problem.
You can change your minutes on your My Verizon without any issue. I do it every couple months due to having my mom, middle brother, and girlfriend on my account. Typically we don't go over the 1400 minutes, but when we do I take the $10 bite and bump it up, then change it right back the next cycle.
You won't lose anything and you should've call and up your minutes before you went over. They charge you per minute overages.

If you have a minute overage on your current cycle just go online and change the plan. Backdate the plan to cover the overages, and you can future date your original plan to start again on the next cycle. Or heck if you're going over the 450 all the time you could just keep the 900 minute plan. It won't remove your unlimited data plan, so change away!

2. CLick Sign in (top right)
3. Below Plan there is an option to change minutes (under the picture of your phone)
4. Click on the plan you would like
5. Click Next
6. This is where you can change the date either backdate postdate or have it change today.
Hope this helps!
I know its pretty dumbed down but when your job is CS for VZW you kinda get used to having to talk dumb.
I just started a new two year one day ago, havent recieved my phone in the mail yet called customer service, asked for retention and was connected to a retention specialist. I asked for the android preferred dataplan 5 gigs for 20 per month. he told me my account was unable to recieve this plan. i explained to him that ''my friend started a new 2 year a few days ago and got on this dataplan'' he said there was nothing he could do to get me on this plan. he then offered me the 5gig plan that also features hotspot thats usually $35 for $30. (this would be a good deal if i didnt know about the $20 5gig plan) but i declined. I politely asked for his supervisor. His supervisor told me there was nothing he could do and I ended the call from there. I waited 30 seconds, called back, got a different retention specialist, politely asked for the preferred dataplan $20month for 5gigs. He pulled up my account and told me he'd be able to apply it to my account and had to get it approved by his supervisor and put me on hold for a minute. he came back on the line telling me his supervisor approved it and i now have 5gigs of data for 20 bucks a month.
TL : DR version: If you call and ask for it and they say no, keep calling until you get someone who will work with you. They DO have the power to do it.
Just called up T-Mobile and spoke with a rep. She knew exactly what the plan was and said it was a promotional offer currently being given out. I already had the 5 gig plan a month at $30 with hot spot now I got 5 gigs minus hot spot for $20. Bringing me to $76 a month total for unlimited talk + text and 5 gig data. You do have to agree to a new 2 year contract though.
Thanx for the info.

Anybody know if this works on value plans? I tried calling, but they said they didn't have it.
It'll work on value, kind of. It's a glitch at times really. If you're not gonna use tether, it's worth to save the $5 a month. If you want tether, pay the $5 to have it hassle free. I've been able to get it on value half the time but really, it's luck of the draw. If ya trust a stranger TMO rep online, pm me your # and I'll see if I can get it for ya.

20 bucks per month for unlimited data (throttled at 5gigs instead of 2)
I been with T-Mobile since voice stream left briefly for Nextel but returned to T-Mobile right after. My original plan was a promo plan 1000 minutes unlimited nights and weekends for 39.99 unlimited text for 15 and unlimited data at 20. My plan never went past 78 bux after discounts. I just recently changed my plan to unlimited and throttled data which I don't mind. I hardly go over 2 gigs anyway. Just didn't like the fact when I changed my plan to unlimited it increased by 10 bux. Now I'm back to what I'm comfortable paying for my service. I feel like I won because of the better plan.

You must not value your job much, you should know better then to offer to access someone's account without speaking with them directly. You should help him by telling him to call instead of putting your job at risk as your not supposed to access others accounts unless they are in store with you or on the phone with you.

So I got this 30 dollar plan...
I went to the at&t store and looked at the advertisements.
THey said that I would have to pay 5 , 15 or w/e more dollars to get a data plan because I had a smart phone(my Galaxy Note...which they held within their hands).
So I got w/e 25 dollar plan plus the 15 dollars data plan.
ANNNNNNNd guess that. Flipping ..
Internet can not work on here....because ..uh...it's ....4G? WTF?
Iphones can't either because they're"4g too" according to customer service.
What can I do in this situation? What are my options?
If you're within your 30 days, take the phone back and get something that works in your area. Do your research before hand, you can't count on AT&T to guide you right, they just want to make a sale.
And the phone works on the 3g network as well....

I don't think it's the fact that it's a 4G account, as they are backwards compatible. I think it has to do with the APN settings. Go Phone accounts use different APN settings if I'm not mistaken. I would google the apn settings for the Go phones data plans, apply that, and I would thing should work.

Ok so no need to get scared Verizon didn't kick me out of unlimited, here's the deal so my mother finally made the change and got an iPhone and so did my dad, my dad had at&t before, Sooo when they get home my moms like " hey guys so we got the phones and 6 gigs of data but the girl said not to watch videos then my mom said that the girl told her that me and my sis didn't use our unlimited that much...
As soon as she said that I spring into action and check out my Verizon settings and sure enough it was a 6 gb share everything data plan for 4 smartphones... Me and my sister lost our unlimited and I'm like hell no so I take my mom and dad and drive down to Verizon to get my unlimited back and obviously get an actual better deal? So I start discussing with the sales representative that sold my mom the phones and exposing why her "good deal for us" was pure Bs since we already had 1 gig out of the six and it was barely the first day and the 15 dollar charge for going over a gig= no thanks...
Aparrently I used 8.5 gigs the last month and my sis used two gigs...
So we keep on discussing she says she can hook us up with a 16 gig shared data for 350 and says we save 10 dollars, so I broke it down for her there saying if me and my sis revert to unlimited data, my parents get the 2 gb data plan for each of their phones, unl text and calling and then my two little sister unl txt and talk, and the total to that came to 330.
In the end she said that since we had already 5 lines on the family plan, and my dad was adding his line we couldn't keep the old plans since apparently there is a 5 line limit, and the shared data plan ups the limit from 5 lines to 10 is this true? And I think I read somewhere a long time ago that if u have good credit with Verizon that u could add 2 more lines into the old family plan?
Is this a lost battle and should I just settle for the 16 gb shared data? I'll hate having to limit my netflix viewing on the and just overall limiting my phone internet time.

Explain to your pops that it would save you guys money for him to open a separate contract for his phone. Explain to him that by you, and your sister going over the data cap he would have to pay more for the data than the extra contract. I have been looking into holes for awhile to see if we could do something similar. They won't get my unlimited until they pry it from my cold dead fingers...If it happens before that, then i will be moving on to greener pastures. C,mon Dish, and Google, Lte's see that data rumor come true....
This is why i hate big companies. They are so greedy...I have to get rid of my unlimited data and pay more per month for limited data? That is ridiculous. smh

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Usually they pull the account and check the average that's been used over a long period of time and that's where they get the formula to recommend the shared data plan. They usually will recommend on the low side since its adjustable on the fly and the lower they can get that final monthly bill total the easier it is for them to sell it. The problem with that is the typical person financially responsible for the plan isn't a phone guru and doesn't make a habit of screwing with their phone, monitoring data consumption, etc until a huge bill arrives.
To the OP, it sounds like your family is pretty well established in their decision and things probably won't work out for you to keep your unlimited, considering they already made the decision and yanked your unlimited, which will require an act of congress to Change, and they already have their phones and probably your Dad ported a number I'm guessing. Which means they're comfortable and probably that one trip back to the Verizon store already has them tired of dealing with it.

Don't know if this can help in your family plan situation, but when I had to replace my phone (no warranty/insurance) they offered me an early upgrade and good price on a new Rez or GS3 but losing unlimited by using the upgrade. In order to keep unlimited the guy said I could get a "landline" (I think it's fios - unlimited nationwide calling) phone for $20/month.
So, if there's anyway you guys get unlimited on a couple or all lines for the $20/mo. it might be worth it.

I have 2 possible options for you. 1 is to make one of your sisters disappear. 2 is to take your unlimited data which is/was tied to your phone # and have it put into your own name so it would be a completely separate account. If your not old enough or have credit problems see if one of your sisters can get their own account.
Also there isn't any reason why 1 person can't have 6 individual accounts or 2 accounts with 3 shared lines.

I activated the Note 48 hours ago and the VZW webpage still shows me on unlimited. Do they typically start the new plan at the beginning of the next bill cycle, or did I somehow get lucky? Thanks
maybe when the billing cycle ends
Not me. I'm getting billed for my data usage over 2 gigs. And I'm now at 11.2 gb. That's 9 gigs over at $10 extra/1 gig. Ouch. I upgraded in store so it appears my new plan went into effect immediately.

You might actually get to keep it. I upgraded to a SGS3 shortly after it came out, but way after the cutoff to keep unlimited officially. I never lost it then.
I ordered the SGS3 through Verizon's website. I also ordered the GNote 2 on their website. I wonder if there's something special about the way my line is configured or the way I'm activating my phone that's causing this.
When I received the GNote I didn't go through any activation process and I didn't use the SIM they sent me. I just yanked the SIM from my SGS3 and popped it in the Note. I will be very happy if I wake up tomorrow and still have unlimited.
FWIW I first added this line about 2 years ago when VZW first got the iPhone and was offering unlimited data with it. Can they not take away unlimited while I'm still in contract?

May I ask how you activated your phone? Did you just pop in an already activated sim card to the Note?
I upgraded at a Evo2 Store (Another branch of Verizon, but still a Verizon store) and I upgraded yesterday and I still have my unlimited data.
That's supposed to be impossible. Now I cannot speak for the automated system, but Verizon's eROES system we use will force you to drop unlimited data and add on a the 2GB package. The only way around this is to use another line's upgrade and then do a device swap.

Well, I can tell you for sure that I've done it once before.... So strong emphasis on the supposed to

That'ls pretty sick if you got away with it, I must admit. There must be some inconsistencies with their online activation systems, but I can tell you that anyone using eROES to process an upgrade on a line with an unlimited package will be forced to downgrade. I do this every day.

Does the downgrade usually happen immediately, or is it dated to the beginning of the next bill cycle usually?

It's effective on the date the upgrade is processed, also the new start date of your contract. However, it is not back-dated, which means you won't receive any overages if you had used more than 2GB already. Your data usage will reset as per usual on your billing cycle date.
It's after midnight here but it still hasn't clicked over to the next bill cycle. Would really like to see it stay unlimited so I can go back to abusing the 40 meg LTE I get here in Saint Louis lol

You said you purchased your phone a few days ago, correct? Did the Verizon site say anything about you losing unlimited data when you ordered your phone? Are there any additional lines on your account and are they still under contract? If they do downgrade you and they didn't inform you of the change I would call and raise hell. Threaten to return your device, reverse your upgrade, and terminate your service.
Watch them add a exception note to your account.

It definitely warned me I would lose unlimited when I placed the order on the 19th of last month. I had come to terms with being on WiFi all the time. It's available both at home and work, so it would have been manageable.
But, heck, if the don't take it away again I will not complain. Just wish I knew what I did that was special.
