So what happens to people on a Family Plan? I recently upgraded to a Thunderbolt. However, my sister's phone (on my account) is not a smartphone.
Will all the lines on my account be able to get the upgrade unlimited price, or just those which are smartphones at the time they issue the new tiering prices?

if you have the family share plan, the secondary line being changed shouldn't require any changes, since the way the plan is billed is a majority is billed to the primary line, all of the features and services are billed to that line. the secondary lines pay $9.99 for access to that family plan the primary line has. idk how data plans work on family share plans anymore. on my plan, each data plan is billed separately.
do they offer a family plan that includes shared data now? it's been awhile since i've had anything than a smartphone on any of my lines so it never comes up.

I've been with Verizon since before they were Verizon. They've always grandfathered my plans even when I re-upped. I never had any doubt, but it just isn't worth arguing with those who are sure Verizon is gonna screw them. I'm sure it won't take long before somebody comes along declaring that's a false document.

I have, and know people who have been grandfathered in from plans they had before they were even on Alltel and haven't had problems yet. That doesn't mean that I'm not worried this will change because Verizon has been making a lot of changes to screw over consumers lately, I wouldn't put it pass them to keep the ball rolling by no longer honoring the grandfathered plans and pricing.

You act like you know exactly what they are going to do, and unless your high enough up in Verizon to make the decision you don't know. All I'm saying is that they have always grandfathered to this point, and hope they continue to do so, but they have been changing a lot of their policies lately which screw over their customers and I hope the grandfather policy isn't the next in line to get the axe.

I was wondering the same. When you change/upgrade secondary phones VZ gives you a list of options to add. Today you can choose a smartphone and the unlimited plan for your secondary phone. Not sure what happens after 7/7. I hope they will allow family plan participants to share data as they do minutes. Haven't seen any indication of that in recent batch of rumors.

You're right, I don't know beyond a shadow of a doubt what they will or won't do. I do know what they've done over the last 15 years that I've been a customer. It just irritates me a little when people start complaining about something they're sure is going to happen, even when there's no compelling reason to believe it will.Verizon has grandfathered their plans for as long as they've been Verizon. As far as them making changes that "screw over their customers", I'm sure you've noticed that the economy is in the toidey and even big companies have had to make changes so they can keep their doors open. Verizon is certainly no different in that respect. If/when Verizon turns the light switch off on us current customers, feel free to say "I told you so". Until then, why get all in a huff about something that hasn't happened? I think they call that being a "doomsday sayer". Why go there?
Anyone on capped data may be interested to know that starting tomorrow you can double your data allowance for no extra cost through the month of November.
4GB - $30
10GB - $50
20GB - $100
You will be able to set it up through myverizon.com
This only applies to 4G smartphones
ONCE YOU GET IT YOU GET TO KEEP IT!

I only pay $9.95 per month for unlimited for each of my five lines. I think I'll stick with that plan.
on a side note, when I called Verizon about upgrading my phone, they insisted on doing it over the phone & stated that for exsisting customers you have to do it that way. however, I called a local Verizon store yesterday and they said I can just go into the store and do it.
uh oh... different people telling me different things. shame on you Verizon!

Unless the sales person over the phone is offering you something special or exclusive, there is no reason why you can't go into any Verzion Wireless dealer and do an upgrade.

Did you expect anything less? : /
I know there is no conclusive answer as to the length of the program once activated . i can't find a definative answer if the double is " for the holidays" and expires then, or if it continues through the remainder of the customers current contract.

OP says once you get it, you get it for the contract but if you can't find a definitive response, who knows.
In all the promo material Verizon it states that you will keep it until you opt into something, no longer how long you keep it. However if you switch to a 3G phone you will lose it, and will be unable to get it back.
Verizon has confirmed that this will be grandfathered once you get it.

I got something similar
I received a similar notice with one of my pre-orders placed on 6/12. The email from Verizon stated "We have completed your equipment order. Your current Unlimited Data package is no longer available. We have selected the 2 GB Data package for you. You will not be able to go back to your current Unlimited Data Package"
Called them and the rep had to submit a "inactive price request" form. Hopefully I hear back from them soon.
Xda server would meltdown over the posts here if others were getting that message. I love how BGR just runs the story without checking with Verizon or getting another person to confirm. Just uses 1 persons tip as fact.

Mine will be here tomorrow too and I even have a rep calling me to make sure I have no issues with my current unlimited data plan.
If I lose unlimited...all hell will indeed break loose.
Most important thing to realize is people have most likely received this notification if they ordered after 6/28/12.
I got mine today... I still have unlimited.
I mean, I even logged into My Verizon and it shows unlimited. No idea what the deal is here. I pre-ordered mine in store and the reps confirmed with me that I would keep my unlimited data.
This "news" story seems hokey.

Sure Verizon might take away your unlimited data but it's not like they didnt compensate you for it... they gave you a locked boot loader for [email protected]!!

I kept my unlimited data, so I'm sure others are too.
Response from VZW when I asked.
I just asked them via the chat on their site, I was told that I get to keep unlimited, but only because I purchased it unsubsidized. Seeing how I use 10gb or so a month, I guess I'll keep buying them unsubsidized since it saves a huge amount of money per month to do so.
Doesn't look good for guys signing a new contract, though.
Please wait for a Chat Representative to respond.
Thank you for contacting Verizon Wireless. My name is Gary, how may I assist you?
Gary: Hi Nicholas
Nicholas: Hello, I just purchased a Galaxy S3 (scheduled to be delivered on the 11th). It is unsibsidized, so I paid $650 so I could keep my unlimited data.
Gary: no problem
Nicholas: I'm readin gthat customers are getting notices that they are losing their unlimited data when activating their S3s, will I be forced off my unlimited plan?
Nicholas: Or do I get to keep it, which is the whole reason for ordering the phone at full price.
Gary: no if you had used the subsidized price, then yes, otherwise the unlimited data plan is still yours...
Nicholas: Excellent. Thank you for your help tonight.

Has anyone who signed a new 2 year contract activated yet? Results?
i preordered on 6/6, renewed a 2yr contract, recieved my phone today, and kept unlimited data
When I pre-ordered my GS3 the customer service rep told me I would still be able to keep my unlimited data plan however if any bills are paid late or if the credit card wont go through on the order or if they have any other problems with my account prior to shipment of the phone, then the phone order will be canceled and I may not be able to keep the unlimited data. My gut tells me the person in the article had a billing issue and Verizon used that as an opportunity to yank the unlimited data.

Yeah I was looking the other day at phones and just had to ask also. No go for the unlimited on new phone unless you pay full price.
But I knew the answer before I even went in.
I actually went to Verizon yesterday and talked to a guy about the plans.
Yes, Verizon will no longer have unlimited data available to anyone... no matter if you're "grandfathered" in.
However, check your monthly data usage... you might be surprised at how little of data you actually do use each month.
Turns out that when it comes time for me to change my plan, I'll be saving more money from month to month.
This does vary from person to person, though. It's definitely worth looking at.
You can also keep your unlimited data by not renewing your contract and buying a phone from offline somewhere or at full price from Verizon. Just call Verizon and tell them you need to make an ESN swap to active your new phone.

They won't get rid of it if you currently have the unlimited data plan unless you renew or sign a contract. Unlimited data is no longer an option with the service plan.
As long as you keep the Verizon service and do not sign into another contract, unlimited data will be with you.
If you want to upgrade to another phone, you'll have to buy it off of the internet from someone or walk into Verizon and pay full price for the phone only... without starting a new contract or plan.
This is the only way you can avoid losing unlimited data.

You will not be able to change from one phone to another online anymore either.
If you do, it will tell you that changing to this device requires a change to your plan.
If you want to change from the Thunderbolt to... let's say a Galaxy S3, you'll have to call Verizon and talk to a customer service rep. and they will have to change it for you. Just tell them you need to make an ESN swap from the Thunderbolt to the Galaxy S3 and they will have no problem what so ever in changing it over for you without making any changes to your "plan"... even if you don't technically have one and they will not force you into a contract either. *At least not yet* and let's hope it stays that way.
Verizon will not turn down paying customers.

Ordered it the day before the cutoff date. Dont remember exactly at the moment but know for sure it was one day before, think 27th of june. Now they are saying the rep i called to order was probably wrong and that because mine was preordered it didnt count because it was activated in the 9. I received it and activated it on the 9th if July. But already paid for it before that

People on the forums didn't seem to "lie" - many were sharing stories on what worked/what didn't work to keep unlimited during the preorder wait for deliveries.
I kept my unlimited from preordering two phones for upgrading our lines, as an example.
But, we activated very soon after delivery months ago. Your preordered Galaxy S III arrived in early September?

I kept pushing but they said there is no more unlimited so changing back is impossible. I even told them before i hung up that i wud cancel it. She just said well you'll have to pay the early termination fees. Both of these ladies were kinda rude too

I'm not sure what information you were given, but I'm not aware of preorders from June that took until September to finally ship.
See this now-famous Verizon Galaxy S III preorder thread for more details and lots of user stories on when phones shipped.
If you ordered after June 28th, getting the unlimited grandfathering deal is tough.

Thing is the phone wasn't out yet till that date but from everything i was reading ppl preordering cud still keep unlimited plan. Plus verizon guaranteed me that. The main problem is that i paid last month's bill without noticing it said 2gb

If you received the phone on sept 9 and activated it then thats pretty late at activating(2 months past the delivery dates for pre orders). The verizon rep i talked to when i preordered it said I should activate it before july 11th to keep my unlimited and thats what I did.
Oh my bad i meant july not sept. It wasnt long it was the day it was supposed to be released.
This is the second month I've had this phone.

Something isn't adding up. If you preordered the phone it should of shown you keeping unlimited data on your receipt. If it does then take it to Verizon. You renewed your contract under the premises of retaining unlimited data. They cannot not honor what you signed a contract for if so it would be null n void and you are free to cancell at anytime without paying a etf. I did this one time when I was younger and Cingular raised the cost of txt messaging from 10 cents to 25 cents per message.

Exactly, because that^^ is what was on mine when going through the preorder process and renewing the plan.
Verizon bastards.
No i did not preorder too late. I made sure of that. I might of made date mistakes posting this but not when i ordered it. The only receipt i received was wen it was shipped in the box. On my gf's iphone 4s it says 29.99 for unlimited on the featues section that i just noticed looking at it now. Mine does not say anything. Our account is on her name if it makes any difference

He pre order the day before the cut off date and the phone arrived july 9th he activated and like many verizon put him in 2gb data plan. Hoping he wont notice.
Many called back and got their unlimited restored.
Call again and check your confirmation emails. It must say somewhere the terms of your contract
