1GB Promotional Data from Big Red - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I have sold my S4 and moved to the dark side anyways I still watch these forums quite often and wanted to share what I got.
Recently with the new More Share Everything you of course get the 25GB cloud space,international texting.
And if you didn't get promotional data call up and say that you would like to have added the promotional data package that lasts for 1 year , it's 1GB for all your lines for 1 year for free so why not get it?
yes 1GB is not a lot but at least it's an extra gig.
I have 12GB plan so that is 13GB.
Promo data counts first before your regular XX GB.

Would VZ actually add 1Gb per month to my 300 Mb plan? Cool. Yeah, that's Megabytes.

As long as its share everythinf i think they will. I called in for my gf took 5 minutes and I got her the promo on their plan, they have 6gb so now its 7.
In your case it would be 1.3 gb.
Let me know I am curious . I think they will give you remember its only for 1yr

Can you link me to some info on this? I'm not the primary on my account but would like to send him the info so he can turn our shared 4gb into 5 for the three of us. That will be a lot more comfortable for a year.

I uploaded 3 screenshots for you.
1) Call 611 , click 4 I think then say Customer Support
2) be cool with the rep and say that you have the new more share everything plan and you interested in the promotion that Verizon is running
that gives all the lines shared 1GB of data that runs for 1 year.
3) make sure to know the first 1GB of free data goes into effect lets say you as of today used 3GB so your regular 4GB data will say you used 2GB.
basically when new months billing cycle goes into effect you will first use the promo data.
Let me know how it goes!
ps I told the rep few of my friends got the promotions and I told him that I should be eligble for this , since I am also on share everything.

I just got of the phone with a VZW rep and she said that it's only for those with a data plan of 1 or 2 GB. Not for 4GB or higher. Was kinda bummed until I was offered a plan that will split my 2 lines up and instead of paying the $166 with insurance on both lines, it dropped down to $136 with unlimited talk and text and each line with 2GB of data and both with insurance. So it saves me $30/month. Made my day!

That is called the loyalty plan and as you can see the rep was wrong.
He or she talked about the 500MB plan going to 1GB and 2GB going to 3.
you can look at my screenshots and nice to see you got the loyalty plan for 2 lines!
if anyone gets same answer from a rep just call again and make sure to tell them it's not the 500MB -> 1GB or 2GB -> 3GB. because it's not that

Yes you can I have 12 gig plan with the promo data I have 13 total.
I called in for my gf last night they have 6 gig plan for 5 phones so now they have 7 [+1] for year. That is what I am telling you
he/she gave you loyalty plan, it's 60$ talk and text +2gb of data and I think if you want to go to 4GB it's like 50-60$ extra on that plan.

I wonder why they didn't let me do it if they did it for your gf

Most reps don't even know a lot about new more everything plans I had to call in 3 times to get correct codes put in then on 4th call I found out about the promo.
If you still want to swtich from the loyalty plans just use my screenshot tell the rep you want to send her/him email with the screenshot.

I'll probably sick with the loyalty. Even if I go over a gig it's only $10 more, and it'll still be cheaper then the share plan. But thanks for saving me money haha. Wouldn't had called Verizon if I didn't read your post.

I was looking at my plan the other day and noticed it said I had 3gb instead of 2gb, now I know why. I never called and asked, they just gave it to me.

the 2GB plan went up to -> 3GB so if you call in you will have 4GB (+1gb for year)
if I was you I would call in that is 2GB difference
again make sure not to confuse the rep with the 1GB extra you got already. Show him/her screenshots I provided!
let me know what happens

Good call.
I got upgraded from 300 Mb/month to a 1 Gb/month plan for the same cost. We'll see if the promotional extra gig shows up, but this was a win either way. Thanks!

Can you take a screenshot from my verizon mobile app? just make sure not to show your number.
It should show up in a blue color the promotional data part
because I am not sure if they simply gave you more data on the 300 MB plan , with the promo data it is 1GB bonus so if VZW gave you upgrade to 1GB you should be seeing now 2GB so that is huge difference from the 300 mb a month!

Nothing changed there other than the cap. As a tiny data plan cap person, I'm used to watching that app.
No promotional data yet, but the cap has been raised to 1 Gb. I'll call 'em back in a few days.

Call up again I posted also the info on other forums about this promo one guy had to call twice.
He got it on 2nd time I think he had the new 3GB plan so it makes it 4GB for him.

Got it on first try, 8 gb went to 9 gb for one year.

You can get Double Data without a new device

I was just able to upgrade to the $30 4gb plan from the $30 2gb plan on Verizon's web page. I didn't buy a new device or sign up for a new plan. I've been a Verizon user for about 6 months so I don't know why I would qualify for the change unless they made it open for everyone.
Regardless, check it out!
Sorry if this has already been mentioned elsewhere.
I originally signed up for 2GB data before the first double data promo back in November. I asked the store rep and they said I wouldn't be eligible but I just called the CSR and they doubled the data without question.
(Of course I got into the unlimited data loophole shortly after).

haha same here. unlimited through the Hotspot loophole
i imagine that anyone on the 4g network can get this sort of thing. i've heard reports of people being given free upgrades to 4g due to high data usage, so it makes sense that their less likely to be stingy with such things on the 4g phones. might be harder on 3g phones, though probably not impossible. i've still got my grandfathered in unlimited, though i've only been above 2gb once.
Unlimited loop hole doesn't work anymore

I signed up for 4GB when I renewed through Amazon Wireless to get the $150 promo last year. My account never reflected the updated plan. Not data, minutes, text, or price change. You'd think they didn't renew the contract at all except it shows my next upgrade over a year from now.
Not that I'm complaining.

Yea, that, or you can just login to your Verizon account on their website and remove the 2GB data plan and add in the 4GB plan. Matter of fact, while they are running the double data promotions, on the website all they offer are the doubled plans.
I bought my Rez right after the Dec-Jan promotion ended. Missed it by a week and was pissed. Then in March they started a new promotion, I quickly logged in and changed my plan. Took all of 30 seconds.
You can also use the My Verizon app on the phone to do it as well.

[Q] Note 2 and Share everything plan

ok, i have a question. im lookiing at either upgrading to the note 2 from my bionic or buying one out right. i have the unlimited data and 4 lines. between all 4 lines i usually average 14gigs to 16 gigs a month. i was talking to a guy in the verizon store today that works there that i am also in the military with. he was telling me thaat with what i pay for all 4 phones, i could go to the share everything and save money. i pay about $320 a month for all 4 smart phones. with the share everything and 18 gigs i would only be paying $296 a month. anyone know if this is true or not??? i have wifi at home and work that i could save on data usage also.
sorry if this has been asked before. and yes i am new to XDA. so i appologize to some noobness. but beed a droid head since the OG droid came out and rooting them as well...

sounds low on the price to me. When I priced the share everything plan for 10gb and 4 smartphones it was pushing 350. Its 40 per phone for the share everything plan and then 180 for the data (18gb) so that is 320 before any discounts, taxes, insurance, etc.
i get 20% discount for being in the military.
I get 18% and it isnt off the total bill on the share everything. Just the data pack.

does it not come off the total bill? because the way he described it, he added everything up, showed it to me, then subtracted 20% from that and said that would be my bill.

No unfortunately the corporate/military discount does not come off the total bill. The discounts can only be applied non-unlimited items. In this case your unlimited 'item' is voice. So voice does not apply. The data on the other hand is not unlimited, and hence is the only item that qualifies for the discount.
The person at the vzw store was/is wrong
I hope this helps.

ATT data special

I just switched from 4gb to 10gb data for a few dollars more. They have a special going on for the 10gb. $100 +15 each line. Att rocks
I live in a Major metropolitan area.
I pay 70 bucks a month for T-Mobile which is comparable to ATT here (Phoenix area which is big for T-MO).
I get unlimited everything with no throttling. Last month I used about 10GB w/o a hiccup (I may have been going ROM crazy and bypassing all the WIFI restrictions on downloads since I was at work...lol). ROM - LOAD - TEST FOR 2 DAYS - WIPE - NEW ROM - LOAD - REPEAT
T-MO wins.

Yeah, I've been debating on moving to this plan since it rolled out. I currently have the unlimited data plan, 700 minutes to share between two phones with a rollover bank of about 7000 minutes since we rarely use more than a hundred combined, and unlimited texts and mms. I've been hesitant to switch because, while we are generally under 10 gigs, I sometimes get a little data crazy and we reach between 12-15 gigs combined. Do you know what they charge for overages per gig? Also, I assume that includes unlimited calls and texts? TIA for your reply

Overages is $15 a gb if you go over. If you let them know before you go over you can change your plan to higher data for $10 a gig more. Just go with the 10gb. That should be sufficient enough for 2 people. My wife and i have it we are on separate accounts. Just got it today and im happy that i dont have to worry about going over. Plus if you both are on the same contract you save a lot.
I just went from the 4gb plan on FAM share with 2 phones total. Went on the site to see what its about under my account and it showed my contract was 4gb for 150. It showed I could change to 10gb for 130. I definitely don't use near 10 unless I'm away from WiFi and still don't use near 10 but better to be on the safe side. I read all the fine print and hoopla and I saw nothing of extra charges or drawbacks. Took the 10gb and as I see so far a cheaper bill and more gigs. I see win win.

Aw, I looked to see if I could upgrade my data plan on my ancient non-existent plan and nope. Ah well.
Eventually one of the newer plans might make more sense, but every time I've done the math in the past, it turns out to be more expensive.
This is the mobile share value plan. If you're out of contract or you have your own phone, you get the 15 dollar pricing instead of 40. Its nothing special tbh

to me its worth it $130 phone bill for 10gb of data. and the data is crazy fast with att. ive measured a friends phone at work with speedtest and he hits 8mb/s on verizon,my old tmobile was at 7mb/s and with att ive hit 40mb/s. thats high speed data. ITS WORTH IT!!
my opinion.

New data plan... 4 extra gigs free.

Verizon sent me a text to upgrad3 my 6gb plan to 10gb for no extra charge. I agreed and saw the change applied right away. Did they do this for everyone?

No but with the extra data plans there doing for a limited time I got a good deal. Me and the wife are using the Edge program so that just gave us 2 extra gbs per month and I bumped my plan from 10gb to 12gb and Verizon is doing that data promo which 12 is really 15gb and I'm still on a month to month plan didn't have to renew my contract. So basically for an extra 10 bucks I got 17gb a month now from 10gb.

These data caps and outrageous charges per month for it is simply put.....retarded. I can't believe alone people are FORCED to pay ~ $100 a month for stupid internet then they have the audacity to charge for 'smartphone' and 'tablet' and of course all the little 'taxes' and 'FEES'. I'm so glad I still only pay 29.99 for unlimited.....they REALLY need to bring back the unlimited. In todays world there should be no stupid ass limit on data. They brag about all this LTE and XLTE crap and act like they need to charge you for being a burdon and using it. I could see inflation, ya know, 5 maybe 10 bucks every couple years on plan pricing but how in the hell can you go from charging 29.99 for no limit to 50 bucks for 2 measly little gigs? Shouldn't even be legal. They need a simple flat rate for data and no tiered crap. 49.99 unlimited data is fair for todays market but......it'll never come again

Must be nice, I would mos def take advantage
pretty sure they are doing double data promotions also. we are on a 15 gig family plan and got bumped up to 30 gigs for an extra 10 a month not bad at all
They just want every dime they can get before everyone goes back to unlimited data. One carrier opens it up and they will all eventually follow suit. I wonder if representatives from each carrier meet clandestinely in some anonymous pub and discuss how to best control rates, and us.

I looked it up online and it looked like a good deal. One ad said $30 dollars another one said $50 with expanded data. I walked into their store and told the guy I'm coming from AT&T and wanted to save money. He said if I brought all my 3 lines to Metro and got the 4 GB LTE data plan I'd be paying $135 a month for their family plan. I said I'm getting 10 GB of data from AT&T with 2 smartphones and a Gear S for $135 after taxes. He didn't have anything to say to that so I thanked him and walked out.

I'm so tired of the T-Mobile fan club.
They've renamed "throttling" to "de-prioritizing" but are now applying the same speed caps as everyone else to some percentage of their biggest data users. At 133GB I'd say your days are numbered.

I said I'm getting 10 GB of data from AT&T with 2 smartphones and a Gear S for $135 after taxes. He didn't have anything to say to that so I thanked him and walked out.

You always have to look at the fine print $30 promotional plan is only unlimited talk unlimited text unlimited web but one gigabyte of 4G the other one had $50 unlimited talk text and web and unlimited 4G LTE but with a promotion and it ended a couple of weeks back I work for the company and I know a hundred percent they will not throttle people on the $60 plan I have a non dealer line I have regular customer line

I'm so tired of the T-Mobile fan club.
They've renamed "throttling" to "de-prioritizing" but are now applying the same speed caps as everyone else to some percentage of their biggest data users. At 133GB I'd say your days are numbered.

I agree with you. There's no doubt T-Mobile speeds can be fast. I know a guy who gets 64 mbps down on his T-Mobile One Plus One running Cyanogen. I must be getting a good deal with AT&T tho because nobody has enabled me to save money by switching yet. I could always go to Sprint and get my bill cut in half, but then I'd have to turn in all my phones and switch to CDMA which I don't want to do.

How long have you been with AT&T ? Maybe you are getting an old promotional plan.

Yeah that's not bad that's probably why you got a cheap plan and how much internet do you get ?

They give me 10 GB of rollover data with unlimited talk and text on 3 lines. All lines share the same data. I just checked and they don't offer the 10 GB plan anymore.
Being on any MVNO sucks if you roam internationally. They all also get de-prioritized over native traffic when the network is congested and in some cities (NYC, SFO) that's quite a bit of the time. Being on T-mobile or any of their MVNO's sucks because they have a lot of high frequency spectrum which makes indoor reception sketchy. T-mobile is a multi-billion dollar public company who's mission is to generate above industry financial returns to their shareholders. They aren't benevolent. So far they've proven they can move market share (they're still #4 BTW) by giving up profit/margin. The jury's still out until the latter starts to increase.
I am thankful to them though. I pay AT&T $70ish a month for three devices and 7GB of data and that includes the $10 a month for the Gear S I just bought from them for $149.
No wireless carrier is anyone's "friend." It's choosing between the best of a bad lot. Talking about pricing, service, and support on XDA is educational. Trying to pimp others toward a specific carrier not so much. Everyone here values different things.

Im just letting everyone know in case anyone had any doubts it does work perfect just like it would on T-Mobile obviously because is the same network

Thanks for confirming this for me as I have metroPCS Unlimited no throttle plan, too bad we can't get this turned on a tablet plan. LoL
I just won this watch for 145 USD I guess now it's time to sell my Original Galaxy Gear rooted with custom TWRP recovery and Null_ 23 rom. LoL!! The curves will go nicely with my Note Edge. haha
Stupid Queston About The Gear S Activation & MetroPCS
@jcar6245 When I get it do I need to activate it to my phone and then take it into metroPCS for activation? I got a Note Edge, but I didn't know if I need to get service turned on imei activation first and then sync it to my phone or vice versa. LoL
That process got the best of my dyslexia, I guess it doesn't really matter which way ya do it right?
Damn I'm on metro pcs with four phones and two have hotspot for just 105.00 I was curious how much it would be to add a smart watch
