Verizon is doing away with unlimited data plans

Android Central says it's nabbed an official document laying out the brand new Verizon data plans scheduled to take effect next month, and there's good news for those of you currently using an iPhone on Verizon with an unlimited plan: It looks like you'll be grandfathered in.

We weren't quite sure if that would happen yesterday, but if this document is real, Verizon will be going the way of AT&T and allowing those with unlimited data plans to keep them (presumably as long as they're not changed or added on to any other deals).

Elsewhere on the deals, the smartphone plan will start at 2GB for $30 a month, up to 10GB bandwidth for $80 a month. Mobile hotspot access costs $20 a month extra for 2GB on the hotspot.

Unlimited plans will still be available up to July 7, and those unlimited plans will continue even when you upgrade your phone in the future. So if you want to get in on an unlimited plan before the caps get put in, now's the time to do it. We'll keep ears open for official confirmation on this one, and you can read all the details over here.

Even though you are grandfathered in they will throttle your speeds if you use too much, at least that's what AT&T does from what I've heard.

I'm only on 3G but with Sprint I havent notice any throttling. For a while I used my cell phone to tether by modifying some files on the phone. I managed to download 50GB in a month and didn't hear any complaints.

wtf... talk about nickle and diming you for $20-80.. so other carriers already have this type of setup?

I'm severely disappointed in this.. then again I guess 5GB is quite a bit, but all month? I feel confident I use more than that.. maybe not, haven't really paid much attention.

my plan is up, so they'll change it next year regardless of my new contract?

curious if anyone uses their phone for the internet a lot and uses more than 5GB a month?

I use way more than 5 GB a month. I have sprint and the mobile hotspot and I use the hell out of it. Not to mention using it with mobile streaming apps like HBO Go, Jetflicks, etc.

I think it starts in 2 weeks actually

I may end up with a phone sooner than I wanted.. I use the hell out of some internet on my phone. I can't have a laptop every second of the day. spending $130 bones a month for my bill is enough of an expense... (everything unlimited..) spending $200/month, I better be getting a reach-around at least once per bill period.

yeah, I would think 5GB isn't that much..

    • Not many are talking about this player. He played well as a rookie last year. If he refines his blocking, continues studying film, and keeps working hard, I can see him being the next Greg Olsen. I’m expecting 55 catches, 700 yards, 4 TDs this season.  
    • I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.
    • Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.
