Verizon Confirms 3G Unlimited Data to 4G Upgrades Keep Unlimited Data

Verizon's Wireless support account on Twitter has confirmed that clients with 3G phones that as well have unlimited data are able to upgrade to 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution, latest standard in the mobile network technology) handsets and keep the unlimited data plan on the account, confirming the previous statements made about upgrades and grandfathering ahead of last Thursday's transition to tiered data plans.

The “Unlimited 4G LTE”

The “Unlimited 4G LTE”, with say the Samsung Charge, is a great option, nevertheless forget VZW 3G Data coverage on the iPhone 4, it is no competition to SPRINT 3G Data, which can easily stream music, in exchange, VZW 3G Data drains power, as it attempts to download any file or even web pages, dropping down to 2G speeds.Obviously, the VZW 4G is coming to the companies rescue not a minute too before long, the VZW Network is of course filled nearly capacity, however in spite of all that, Calls and Text messages on the VZW 3G Network are however, far more reliable and timely than on SPRINT 3G.

Me and my wife both have an Env Touch with unlimited data. A few days ago I changed my plan to the unlimited smartphone data plan on both my phones. I knew it would cost more, however I thought I would of been grandfathered in with the unlimited smartphone data plan, especially seeing how I just increased the price on my plan.

I went today to upgrade my phone and was told that I would have to change my current plan to one of the new tired plans, although I’m paying for the unlimited smartphone plan, all because I don’t have a “smartphone”. What I don’t understand why did Verizon let me select the unlimited smartphone data plan without having a smartphone, however now all of a sudden I must already own a smartphone to keep the plan with an upgrade.

The whole point is to keep the plan I have now

The whole point is to keep the plan I have now, which is the unlimited smartphone data plan when I upgrade. I was told as well that I can’t go back to the same plan I had previously. I’ve been a loyal customer, nevertheless I’m loosing the respect I had for Verizon

Anyways, been waiting for the Bionic for months, however now going to go with Sprint to get my smartphone with the unlimited data plan, thinking about the Galaxy S2 or the HTC EVO 3D.

How 2 gigs is a lot

I keep hearing how 2 gigs is a lot, nevertheless I notice when I download a 10 min video on my pc in 1080p HD and it used 1 gig, I realize how easy it will be to use up 2 gigs of data. Especially when I can take 1080p video with the new phones and I may want to upload a few videos afterwords.
