Verizon Data Plan Change

[Clementine_3]

Verizonwireless is going to implement tiered data on 7/7 for NEW subscribers and NEW data/phone lines for existing subscribers. Current subscribers will be grandfathered into their unlimited data plans (for now at least).
If you are thinking about adding data/getting a smartphone or switching to Verizon and unlimited data matters to you then time is running out.
If you currently have a feature phone you can (apparently) up the data plan to unlimited, get grandfathered, then move to a smartphone later (handy for those waiting for the Bionic or Droid 3 [and others] that are to be released AFTER this goes in to effect).
Just thought I'd throw that out there for anyone who may be thinking about making a change in the near future

Time to get that upgrade or sign up before the suck begins.

Yup, already grandfathered in. Got the T'bolt (which I still love, btw) because I wanted to be SURE that I was grandfathered into 4G. It does seem from what I've read, as long as you are on 3G, you are also grandfathered in and can move to a 4G phone with no problem.

The big thing that stinks though - if you want to get mobile hot spot, it's not an add on - you have to choose a data plan that caps your data, and no longer be grandfathered. Not that I use it that often any way, but it would be nice if there was a "pay as you go" option for mobile hot spot.
