Guys, it doesn't matter how many signatures this gets. They are making less money than they used to off of unlimited data contracts. This is going to happen.
@theredvendetta is right. I would love to think these petitions would do wonders for us, but our track record with them isn't what I call spectacular. The best way to deal with this is hit them where it hurts the most-their wallet.
If you are not voting with your feet and won't move to a different carrier, then you have no hope and Verizon knows it, so you are wasting your time. Verizon gets thousands of complaints every day about cost, signal, speed, plans customer services. I don't see Verizon improving any of that, its only gets worse, more expensive, etc. So save your signatures and use your wallet to vote Verizon out.
Just don't upgrade, to a 4G phone. Once you upgrade to 4G,then unlimited data plans are gone!

Not totally true. I was told if a moved to the Nexus sometime this week, Ill keep unlimited until the big plug is pulled.
You think they'll just suddenly get rid of unlimited for 3g customers wanting to upgrade to 4g?
I've been watching all the major android news sites to hear of any news on the subject from Verizon.
I want to go from my X2 to a SGIII but would rather not preorder. No guarantees.
In order to circumvent all of this, I want to do the following:
I may get a Nexus through Costco soon to lock into 4g unlimited. Then, once the SIII comes out at the same time the new shared data plans will like debut, I'd use Costco's 90-day warranty to return the Nexus and get a SIII with the intent to keep unlimited 4g.
In anyone's user experience, do you have to sign a new contract when upgrading your device? Can I just keep the Nexus plan?
Sooo I pretty much wrote this to see if you guys see any flaws in my master plan.
Almost 2000 more Signatures since my orignal post not to shabby. We need to get the word out. I known some people think this won't make a diffierance and maybe they're right. Showing are dissatisfaction will at least slow these greedy icehole's down.
My thought's on this is you want to renege on your grandfather promise raise data price's fine but don't force me to pay for it. How many people are using wi-fi because there 3g,4g is to slow or hardly working and paying a premium price for a service they don't use. Give your customers a choice. I do not have problem saving a dollar a day and using wi-fi.
But That's Just My Opinion. I Could Be Wrong..

So they use there energy in more productive ways. It's all good though everyone can do what they feel is right. But what would get Verizon's attention would be 3k people not renewing their contacts. With the reason being the death of unlimited data. Not 3k signatures from people who are still going to begrudgingly pay them.

Don't be so harsh on the guy. I sympathize with his pain. Yes this is a development section. However, no one seems to be doing any developing. If they are, they're keeping it a big secret. All the major devs I know that are usually working on this stuff are still very obsessed with the Charge and the soon to be released Bionic. No one seems to want to step up and take DX2 on. I didn't have a choice in getting a DX2. My DX broke and this is what the insurance sent. I thought it was a great thing until I saw that no one is doing anything on it.
Yes, his post probably should go in another area. However, let's try to keep this thing like family. When I came with noob questions, people weren't chastising me. When I fell for the XOOM hype, and didn't know if I should keep it, people here shared their thoughts on the subject. That was one of the reasons I came to love XDA - they didn't judge me, but rather found ways to relate what I was going through. Even in this ROMless DX2 hell that we find ourselves in, I still love my XDA family. Let's try to help the guy and not condescend to him.
Take care and stay blessed

Has anyone figured out anything on this pos Droid x2. I'm starting to get irritated this phone blows unless it gets overclocked.
Move it or close it, Mr. Clown.
Yes, I'm well aware this a development forum. I'm not by any means new. I'm rooted, supercharged with V6 and running a few different launchers to make respond quicker but with that being said, its at the end of its rope. By asking for a reason not to; I was implying for some developers to step up to the plate for a device that has potential.

not going to lie, the DX2 wasnt my first choice of phones to get but because the SGS2 isnout available yet it was just the best option, and yea no dev community makes me sad
Yeah the dev community is disappointing. And they're a bit slow on the draw.
I may be looking at the Charge or Bolt before 7/7/11 to stay grandfathered.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Yeah I'm with you buddy. I'm planning on selling this for either the Thunderbolt or Bionic. I don't like the design of the Charge even though it is a great phone. Also depends on if the Bionic will have a locked bootloader. If it does, I'm going with the Thunderbolt. Hopefully Wirefly still sells it for $199 for an upgrade in August
But don't get me wrong, this is a great device. I haven't had any lag or problems, and I actually like the new MotoBlur. If there was more development on this I'd definitely keep it, but I miss flashing CM7 and other roms every night.
Question: If I have unlimited 3g now, will I still be able to get unlimited 4g come August once Verizon implements their tiered plans? I really hope so, or else I'll be using 3g for as long as I'm with Verizon.
Me too
Anyone want mine $200
Swift,
If you have unlimited data now, you're grandfathered in UNLESS or UNTIL you switch phones, plans or upgrade after 7/711. Any changes after that date will force you to take the new tiered pricing.
It may suck. I use every bit of 2gb a month if not more. $50 a month for 5gb make hurt my pocket too much. But that's a topic for another forum.

Actually, the one thing that it does keep doing is rebooting without provocation. It's gotten to be quite annoying. Every phone that I have received from Asurion does it, so I'm beginning to think this is some sort of FroYo/hardware complication. (No I have no evidence to support that theory.) Some of you have mentioned using the new supercharger script. Does it help with this rebooting problem or will I just be putting myself deeper into a hole?

Seriously? That's just plain dumb if you ask me. I don't even understand why Verizon is doing this tiered crap. This is probably why when I first asked for the Thunderbolt, the rep kept on trying to dissuade me from getting it.
This really makes me want to switch to Sprint, or even AT&T once they set up their LTE network. Whatever carrier gets the SGII is where I'm going -.-

fully stock here so far, only had it about a week, but no random reboots.
The only problem was that the first morning I set the alarm the phone was locked up and the alarm didn't go off. I had to pull the battery to get it to reset. Trouble free other than that.
maybe some of you will want to change your mind?

This is a **** move from sprint, they are going back downhill. They are upping their etf to $350 and now this? If they had decent 3g then ok but service is subpar. They want to play with the big 2 (being Verizon and AT&T) and they can't even match them with service. Yes we have unlimited but what good is that if people are only getting 300 kbps downloads.

What's funny is I just talked to a Retention Manager and He told me that he got that e-mail about 30 minutes ago about the Premiere Program going away and was surprised it was in the Interwebz already. This is horrible. I have been with Sprint 11+years and if they think they can move up to the big dogs (Verizon & AT&T) and NOT provide the same Speed in 3G and 4G (LTE) they are going to loose customers so quick it will make their heads spin. Greed plain and simple. Get the iPhone and get Greedy, A-Holes. Bye Sprint, Hello Verizon and the Bionic.
All of this is totally understandable to me at least on Sprints part. They have the best rates and want to keep them a little longer. They have to make cuts somewhere.
I probably don't sympathize well because I just now finally got a cell phone but I think their rates are way better than Verizon or AT&T.
I do understand long term bonuses though because I've worked at the same place for over 18 years and to lose something sucks.
If I am going to get RAPED, I will at least have better coverage. Sprint has horrible coverage and thinks because they are getting the iPhone they can be Jerks. Adios Sprint, Hello Verizon. My Wife has a 24% discount with Verizon. Hopefully the Bionic is a nice phone. I may just go Trac Phone. This is getting ridiculous.

Me and my gf signed up b4 the 14 day exchange policy do we still get our 30 days?
This stinks but its bringing them to same as the other carriers. Also, at least they are giving notice, over 3 months for the people who are close. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Verizon gave like no notice when they screwed over. Not happy, just hit gold and all cause its a crappy iphone but I can't see leaving for another carrier when they do the same or worse. Sprint still has the best plan prices and unlimited data (not saying this won't change next) F Apple.
I will be leaving the photon community since I am getting the Iphone 5 on friday. (please dont post if your going to be an android fanboy)
I am only switching because I'm getting it for 40 bucks!
this is how:
1. I bought my phone before sep 9 2011 so the termination fee is less (110)
2.The Iphone is 200
3. thats 310
4. I have buyback at best buy so they're giving me 210 for my phone
5. thats 100
6. you get a 10 dollar ift card if you preorder
7. 90
8. 2 25 dollar gift cards
9. 40 dollars!

If you had a termination fee that means you left sprint, therefore you'll have a higher monthly bill no matter where you go. Also, you'll have a metered internet cap with your spanky new 4G LTE phone, and therefore you've also opened yourself up to an overage bill on the internet if you are a moderate to heavy user.
Enjoy your new phone.

Hello,
Thanks to being able to bill to my account, I ordered a 64gb iPhone 5 today. I am honestly not sure if I am going to end up keeping it as I have been using Androids since 2.1 (Eclair) and I really like the platform. However, I am frustrated that Sprint frakked the Photon 4G replacement and I am not fond of Samsung (too plasticky) and to a lesser extent HTC.
I was honestly praying that Sprint would get some sort of version of the RAZR. The Intel Atom powered RAZR looks amazing, but has only been announced for Europe and I think Asia.
Being with Sprint since 1999, I really am conflicted about the iPhone in general. Thanks to Sprint having to pony up Billions of Dollars just to offer the bloody thing. they have done away with the Premier Gold Program replete with 12 Month Upgrades, the ability to bill equipment to your account at any corporate owned Sprint Store, and far less understanding Account Services actions.
That being said., it will be nice to have tons of options for Accessories where with the Photon there are hardly any. Still, I am hoping a flagship Android Phone is announced by Sprint in the next month.
Cheers,
JJ

My wife just got the iphone 5 and it's pretty impressive. I don't understand why people here sound so indignant that a photon user would be jumping ship. There is a market for the iphone obviously. I find it a foolish exercise to try and compare phones and platforms. At the end of the day they do the same most of functions. At the end of the day
Choice of device is a personal one. If on the day I told myself I now longer care to think about my tech I might move to a different platform as well. People have reasons for moving to ios, and are better for it in many cases.

This. Verizon's leadership would like to thank us all for their fat bonus checks since the change. Ditto for all the campaign contributions paid to certain politicians to keep the 2gb or less average user BS rolling. They used historic data HEAVILY biased with 2g and 2.5g data usage in those numbers. Though not counting recent or forecasted usage based on bigger apps, cloud, HD streaming data (that the carriers are pushing) and devices with no sd cards for storage (the DNA as example had no card for a reason).
Common sense is that 4g with low data caps is absolutely pointless and counter intuitive to the premise of usage. Just a few HD YouTube or less than two movies bust past a 2gb cap. They LOVE it when our kids bust past the caps "by accident" and we pay $10 more increments. Why do you think Verizon does not set up an allocation lock down option as standard, for account holders so they can prevent this from happening? Surely you do not think they think the warning texts we get are the best solution to avoid cap busts. Their bonus system depends on cap busting. Feel the burn! Yowsa!
Sorry, but I have corporate friends with VZW and that is where I get insight from. I am in business too, so understand their practice. From a cold business side, bravo, but as a consumer, it sucks real bad.
Added: Until consumers push pack, we shall remain perpetually screwed. Heck, even some broad band providers do relatively low caps. Good luck with them PS4 and especially Xbox One consoles with broadband data caps. Yikes.
I still have my unlimited data. You missed the point. It's lost on you
Verizon tries to exploit its consumers, and consumers likewise will exploit Verizon in a similar manner. If someone has unlimited data, they should use it completely (hell they should even tether their entire house). Exploiting a business is the job of the consumer and vice-versa. Telling someone they should use less data on their unlimited plan is stupidity. You would only be helping out Verizon; consumers should never help out a business, especially one that persistently tries to scam its customers.

Also, I'm not trying to exploit anything. I'm actively working on projects that require downloads and uploads. I have unlimited data. And there is no reason to sip what I have. Next month I may only use <1gb. It depends entirely on what I'm working on.
I'm not really even sure why I'm trying to justify my usage. Im out.

I just pay for my two parents lines who both hate smartphones. So I get a upgrade every few months.

Smh. People who sign up for this should pay a lower rate for service. AT&T isn't offering that so I'll pass.

Exactly, not worth it unless they offered a discount in service.
No amazing value there. No incentives for me to port out my 2 AT&T HTC ONEs from Straight Talk. Which is too bad because I'm willing to pay a bit extra for LTE service, but with AT&T's current rate plans I'm better off just keeping my phone with Straight Talk.

You fail at math and basic money skills if you sign up for this service.

AT&T keeps finding ways to screw customers. Luckily it's only an option and not a requirement.

is it not like leasing a car. I mean you are still paying the same amount but with upgrade ability every year. And because you pay for 1 year you basically pay half price of the device. or am i wrong?

You're paying half price but you never really own it.
This new way of selling phones, totally doesn't make sense.

total rip off !!
glad tmoblie is building 2 new towers in my area should really improve service here ... if so i might be moving over ... this plan is a complete joke
Honestly it seems like there are monthly meetings at AT&T where the agenda is "how can we screw our customers next?"

True...but with the amount of consumers who just want a phone without having to pay anything up front let alone $200 up front and don't really pay attention to details....Next will most likely do well.
It's sad

This would be OK for someone who wants a new device and do not have current eligibility for an upgrade. Of course you probably can only do this at the time of the contract renewal.
I mean this, if you are willing to pay full price anyway, why not pay interest free payments? But, if you are eligible for an upgrade then this makes no sense. And I don't mean HTC Sense.

I'm sorry but this is so foolish. We have four phones on our plan, two of them are the $10 options and they never upgrade their phones that basically gives me the option to buy a new phone every 8 months.
The only people I see buying into this are wealthy people, with bad math skills, that have teenaged children complaining for the newest phone.
Haha amazing value. That's gotta be sarcasm?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
No, it's not an amazing value. It would be an amazing value ONLY IF the phone service prices dropped. The phone services have a $20 subsidy built in already, so essentially you're paying twice for the subsidy. What a joke AT&T. Only stupid customers will fall for this.
