So now that we're gonna get the $#!+ end of the stick I think it would be nice to throw up our awesome data usage stats for fun.
So lets see what you got . Here's mine

For those that really blame the end user click this

This is what I know. Verizon pays no taxes and got back $760 million in refunds last year. I'm sure with the money they make they can use the free $760 million to maintain their network for us O.G. customers.
God bless America.

Agreed. I just hope if they pull our unlimited, they give us much higher caps on the new plans. 10GB's would seem reasonable to me.

Ummm..I have a plan. It has unlimited data. I use it as I wish. Same with texts. If I pay for unlimited then I get unlimited. Since you want to play the Blame game...lets play.
People who use less than 2 gb are the reason we're getting our unlimited data taken away. They show Verizon that only 2gb is needed.
See how dumb I sound?

Just saying though, like 35 gigs is enough data for at least 150 average users. I mean seriously how do you get that much. I have 4gbs limit and I try to use it as much to get the worth but I can't even get to like 2

I'm paying for the data. Should be mine to do as I please (within legal restraints obviously). I hate the misdirection about unlimited too. Unlimited as long you stay within a certain limit isn't unlimited. Should be black or white. Not grey with tons of fine print.
luckily ive been with tmobile for a looong time and i still have the true unlimited plan.
I use AT&T and I wifi tether on a Vibrant. I feel that wifi tethering is fine because we're paying for data anyway. Not our faults they invented something smarter than what they can control. It was those phone brands that decided to put that function into the phones. Whatever our phones come with should be made available for us to use. It's like what's the point of a front facing camera (besides camwhoring) if you cant Skype with it.

Ya I have unlimeted messages but it doesn't. Stop me at 3000 and I also have unlimited data it is unlimited but it slows down past 5gigs so that's where they get the right to do that not worth paying for "unlimeted" if it will slow down at 5gigs.

Not when it takes more than 40 seconds to refresh my Twitter Timeline.
My wife and I both used to have iPhone 4's, but I upgraded a little over a month ago to the AT&T SGS2, while my wife kept the iPhone 4 but plans to upgrade to the 4S in a few months or just wait for the next iPhone. Either way, we miss being able to see where eachother is at like we could with "Find My Friends" on the iPhone. She is a full time substitute teacher so she could be working at any of like 8 different schools, and while she knows in advance which one I don't always remember which one she is working at. She doesn't answer her phone at work even when she isn't in class because she says they have a very strict policy on phones at the school. Anyway, if I needed to know I could just use that app and see where she was (and I could tell from her location which school that was).
Is there an app for both iPhone and Android that would work for us? It appears that AT&Ts FamilyMap app works but that costs $10 a month, and I would prefer free or at most a one time app purchase. Thanks in advance for any help.

Not sure what your problem is, but I do know that you are an asshole. My wife has offers to be a teacher, she just prefers substituting and being as she is a full time sub the pay is comparable.
Thanks everyone, we will try out Latitude. She doesn't have a gmail account and it looks like she needs one so we will make her one and try it out and post back.

Was in DC for a few days and holy crap is it fast compared to 3G. Looks like Myrtle Beach is scheduled to get it 5/17 with the Rezound POSSIBLY getting ICS shortly thereafter (???). Could be a good month.

Also yea, I can't believe these 4g speeds even after almost everyone in NYC has a 4g phone
my city recently got 4 g and now my phone is blazing fast but it runs through my battery like crazy. But luckily for me when I went to my local verizon they have a half off deals on the extended battery.

I love 4g. My brother will ask me to do something for him on his 4s. Talk about slow. Takes him 5-10 minutes to download an mp3. I can do it in 20-30 seconds. Watching YouTube videos I run full HD and never stop to buffer. He runs standard definition and has to buffer every 30 seconds or so. I almost bought the 4s, but the screen, processor, and 4g that the rezound has is just no match.

Agreed. My sister has a 4 and she used about a gig of 3G about 2/3 through our billing cycle. Over 3G that is alot of background data because she doesn't use the phone "that much" if you know what I mean. 90% of her use is texting, calling, and light browsing of memes.

Apple Surveying users phones for data
Hello everyone, like I stated in the title, I don't plan on keeping my tbolt for the full 2 years and I was wondering if there are any loopholes to end your contract without an early termination fee or to upgrade early?
Another thing I thought that I should mention is that I have unlimited data because I have had the unlimited data plan before Verizon put a cap on it, so I'd like to keep the unlimited data, which I doubt would be possible if I ended the contract...
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance...
If you end the contract it's over.

No because if you pay full price of the phone you can keep the unlimited data for now. Adverse material change can be like a non mandatory fcc charge like a regularity recovery charge, pricing change and even then the terms and co.ditions usually.say vzw can rase the fee up to a certain amount and not be a material adverse change.

Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
The fact that Verizon is ending unlimited data will not let you out of your etf as it does not effect your current contract. You will retain unlimited data until you renew your contract. At this point you would have to switch to a tiered data plan.
Again them getting rid of unlimited data will not get you out of etf.

It turns out you can't do that. I went in yesterday and asked a lot of questions. It has to be the device you are currently paying off, as they charge differently for the phones now. You pay it off monthly, with the cost split over 2yrs/24months, around 25$. Then, after a year, you can trade it in, and they zero out the payments, and you start over with a new 'non-contract'.
What I don't like is they are going to start having tiered data plans. I told dude that I like the unlimited data, will I keep it? He said, yes, but said they sell smaller data packages now. Which, by default, makes unlimited more expensive. What a joke!
Bill is gonna go up. The 3 lines I pay for now are 149$ ish on paper, about 190 after taxes. To keep same level of service, on paper would be 240ish, god knows what after taxes. P1ssed off.
If anyone knows differently, please correct me, but this was my understanding after talking with a rep for about 30min.

Does anyone else think the new "Framily plan" is needlessly convoluted?
I mean why get rid of the One Up program?
I won't use either but I was reading over the "Framily plan" and I just tend to think it's gonna be a bust for Sprint. It's going to be hard to manage and most people are going to have a difficult time understanding the details of it.
