I just upgraded to sgn2 and lost my unlimited data. I'm so sick about it. What sucks is that when you upgrade and plan switches over to the 2gb plan, you will be billed for your data usage over your new 2gb limit. So I biggie sized my data plan for an additional $40 to avoid having to pay $90 on my bill date for my exceeding data usage (11gb).
So in my frustration I went on searching for Internet and decided to use clear which sucks balls in my side of this huge apt complex. But I haven't used my Verizon 4g lte yet b/c I'm over my limit so I've been on wifi using my clear wireless wifi hot spot. And Google now sample cards dont load while on wifi. It indicates that its loading but never loads. Do I need to be on 4g? Samsung definitely needs to release some updates in the near future. Anyone else having this problem?

My cards work fine on 3G, 4G, and WiFi.
My cards work fine on WiFi too.
I'd return the phone withing your 14 day cancel period. 11gb... wow... The amount you are paying monthly on the biggie sized plan is enough saved to buy the phone outright after a few months and keep unlimited.

Yea I know. It's too late to try and get that plan back with returning the phone . The plan is switched over already . But I can return it for another unit . I'll probably exchange it for it may be something wrong with it internally.

After you enable Google Now it needs time to learn before it shows you cards. When I first enabled it it appeared to do nothing but checking back later it's starting to show cards such as temperature, etc. Also, update Google Now by updating Google Search.

They told me I couldn't even the customer service rep at the 800 number told me I couldn't once the plan switched. Because that old plan doesn't show in the system to revert. If they're wrong please let me know.

I called customer service and they told me the same thing as the sales reps told me. That they can't do it and that that old plan doesn't show up. If you can enlighten me montyf please do. I would like to reverse and revert the plan to the original and bill the device at full retail to my phone bill. If there's any way you can help me please do. Ask around and keep me posted. Thanks.

You probably won't be able to do it at a store, and you'll have to call them up and perhaps speak with one of their managers who can make it happen. Just don't take no for an answer.
Well I went back to the store and another csr helped me. I returned my upgrade, she reversed my plan back to the unlimited and charged the device at full retail back to my account bill. WINNING!!!!

Just got back from Verizon in Rochester NY. A representative from Samsung was there showing off the s4. I had about 5 min hands on time with it. Absolutely amazing. Official launch date for Verizon is may 23rd. They will be doing preorders a couple weeks in advance. Price will be 199.99 with 2 year activation. You better believe ill be preordering it.

That leaked Staples memo had the Verizon date at 5/30. I'm not complaining though, hope you're right. My 2-year contract ended in February and I've been waiting since then for the S4...

I asked the Verizon dude about that. He said he cant speak for staples, but he, the gm of that particular Verizon, and that Samsung rep guaranteed me that verizons official launch date is may 23rd, accepting preorders a few weeks in advance. Just watch, and remember my post.

I actually went there to buy an sgs3 because I've been eligible for an upgrade since November. The guys said that if i came there earlier in the morning wanting to buy the sgs3, they would have told me to buy it because before the rep from Samsung showed up, they didn't know exactly when they were gonna get it. So I'm lucky i went when i did, because if i bought the s3 just to find out i could get the s4 on the 23rd, i would have been kicking myself in the ass.

Samsungs PR released today states it will be on Verizon by the end of April. Looks like they are keeping their reps out of the loop!
The Galaxy S 4 is optimized for powerful performance on the nation’s fastest networks and will be available on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless as well as U.S. Cellular, Cricket and C Spire starting during April. Additionally, consumers can find the Galaxy S 4 at Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile, Costco, Radio Shack, Sam’s Club, Staples, Target and Wal-Mart. Exact pricing and retail availability will be announced by each of the carriers and retailers in the coming weeks.

It's a poorly worded press release. My guess is that the release meant that it will be available on those 7 carriers, some of which will start in April.
@VZWnews @VerizonWireless @Verizon I still have unlimited internet after 4/21 can I buy new galaxy s4 cell using the new 12 month payment plan that's effective on 4/21 without upgrading to the 200sub?

Should be the same as buying for full price. They just allow you to put the rest of the cost into your monthly payments. Would be extremely low of them to force you off unlimited since you're not extending your contract that way. I don't even know if they're allowed to do that. But yes I highly recommend calling a Verizon Wireless rep and confirming on this before doing that. Verizon is so sensitive about unlimited data plans now that even the smallest change could give them a reason to force you off. If you do get confirmation be sure to let us know.
I tweeted them asking them the same question in 6 different ways so if I don't hear anything soon its cause there avoiding the question..

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 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!

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'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.

Has anybody been able to get an early upgrade to the S4? My wife's line has an upgrade in August but i wanted to get her the S4 now. I called verizon once and the rep i spoke with just basically told me i have to wait until then. I remember reading about some changes verizon was doing in regards to this, but figured it never hurts to ask
Corporate stores no, but franchise stores maybe.

I was able to update my wife to the S3 1 month early, Her fascinate had died so they let me upgrade early.
You can upgarde 8 days early, but most of the time there are no early upgrades for verizon
I was able to upgrade a month early by calling up VzW tech support. I told them I was sick of my fascinate, and it was dropping calls and voice calls sounded scratchy (all true). The guy said no prob but I had to order via phone.
I ordered a couple months early for my S3. I was on the phone with Tech support about something, and they said that I could upgrade early if I wanted.
I got an early upgrade but I have to call on the 23rd and order it on the phone, I cannot goto a VZ store..wth?
I have the galaxy nexus and unlimited data so the only thing that is bothering me is the data cap, I only use 1.5-2 gigs a month but I'm planning on using Pandora soon almost daily so I'm afraid of that. I don't want to pay full price and can't afford that. I was going to sign up with T-Mobile so they were offering me things to stay on VZ and I mentioned an early upgrade.

It's cheaper to pay full price than to get a 5gb plan if your worried about Pandora using data.
200 for upgraded phone
480 more over two years if you have to get 5gb plan over the $30 unlimited plan.
Total cost:680+tax

I use Pandora and Google play music all work day, I typically use 4.5-5 on a normal month, but sometimes I hit 7 or 8. Just I'd rather be on the safer side of things. And you get any device you want, just sell the s4 when you want something new. It's truely cheaper when you do the math

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.

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.

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

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.
