Ah! That is more like it. Hesse just did the whole "not believing in data caps" promo. Also the only reason I am still on Sprint.
Do you BONSAI?

If this is TRUE. I will jump ship. Everyone I know is with Verizon and their network here is much larger, than Sprint. I stayed with them because of the unlimited Data Plans. I use data for work, CC, Navigation, Pandora, Weather, etc. You get the picture.

If it applies to smartphone users, and you seriously use more than 10gb/mo:
A) Verizon has no plan for you.
B) you are less than 1/10 of 1% of Sprint's data consumers and they will NOT miss you.

What will be the prices and limits for Verizon's tiered plan.

Was bound to happen....all the users on bragging about their data usage and wifi tethering

The thread should be closed after this. The rest is just irrelevant.

From what I'm reading, this will be a really good thing, as it will give us the option to perhaps switch to cheaper plans. I would not touch anything near 10GB, and 5GB would be perfect for me....

It seems like no one is reading the article including the original poster. This only applies for non-smartphone devices. This thread title should be revised or this thread should be closed.

Where did you see that? I saw no mention of this being for non smartphone users

No where did I read its only for dumb phones!!

Sprint better tread carefully,Dont want to piss pf consumers with more charges.
As they become more like Verizon,what would be the reason to stay with them?
As stated its for non smartphone customers but how long before they touch us in the wallet too.

Ah, but will this take me out of Premiere status if I drop below $90? Save a few bucks here or get a new phone every year...decisions, decisions.

And here are the other "rumor" articles that state it's for data cards only:

When I think of Sprint, the first thought that comes to mind is CEO Dan Hesse standing on a pier talking about being truly unlimited. I’m sure that he really does like the idea of being truly unlimited… but only when phones are concerned. You see, Sprint is reportedly going to take a different stance when it comes to data connection cards and embedded devices, such as tablets and netbooks.

Tiered plans not so bad
My current phone data plan costs $80 a month for unlimited, and I only use a couple hundred megs a month at most. If I could drop that by almost $50 as a result of my being a light user, I'd love it.
I forgot where I saw an article about it, maybe it was for AT&T/iPhone, but the notion of variable rate based on your use seems like a good idea to me. Start out at a base (that $35/mo for 3gb isn't too bad) that notches up when you cross a line, and becomes more bulk friendly as you go, and every month it resets to the base. If I went really heavy on data usage for a month, my bill would be at that $80 unlimited point, but if I went sparingly I'd only get charged $35 for under 3gb, or maybe $55 for 8gb before hitting the 'unlimited' mark at say 10gb.
My phone is a tool, a convenience to make my life better in some minor form. It does not make me who I am as a person, and it would be nice to have that reflected in my wallet as a result.

Yes this only goes for non-phone devices. Only affects things like tablets, usb modems, etc. The article 2 posts above clarifies and even shows a graph for detail.
Note that the 450 plan will get 300 bonus minutes, so it is essentially 750 minutes, plus unlimited data for your phone.
EDIT: You get 300 bonus minutes if you get a tab, usb modem, etc. and one of the new tiered data plans.
2nd EDIT: It seems it would be cheaper and do it legit and only pay $30/month on Sprint's mobile hotspot for your phone (and get UNLIMITED DATA that way) instead of paying $34.99 for even the 3GB plan, since these new plans for the non-phone devices requires you to sign up for a phone plan anyways.

New tiered data plan starting July 7th

Glad I have unlimited and keeping fingers crossed that when I get a 4g phone I can keep the unlimited.

Sh*t like this is why I'm leaving Verizon after my contract ends later this year. Also,
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/06/2...ming-employees-of-impending-tiered-data-plans is Verizon's letter to their emplyees explaining how suddenly capping data plans is a 'good' thing.

Not thatI support Verizon on this but I thought At&t already went to a tiered plan too. If you don't stay with verizon, your only choice left is really Sprint ...and that isn't much of a choice in my book. T-mobile is good in terms of customer service and pricing but their coverage is the weakest out of the bunch.

I figured that was coming ever since AT%T announced and implemented theirs. Sprint will probably be next. And didn’t Verizon said they will not convert to a tier data plan before?

My understanding is-if you already have unlimited data, you get to keep it..and there has to be a way to swindle your way into keeping it when you go to renew...they'd be stupid to lose a customer looking to upgrade to a new phone who's been on unlimited data.
I know in 2012 (my renewal update) I'll def give them hell if I try to upgrade to 4g and they say I lose my unlimited-I'll keep my fascinate just out of spite then because frankly this phone kicks major butt anyways

The problem is the way they tie phones to plans. So even if you buy a new phone straight up they might make it be "incompatible" with your current plan.

I'm assuming they will implement it in their system. So when people upgrade or renew their plan they will be forced into the new system with the excuse that they cant do anything since the computer will default you into the plan.

It's still ****ty for new customers, but any one on Verizon now or before the 7th is fine. How long are we all fine....well, we will see. But I would imagine it would be for at least a couple to a few years.

existing customers are fine until their contract ends and they want to upgrade to the latest phone. Then they lose their unlimted data unless you buy phone from someone or ebay and no change to contract is done.

I am off contract with the fascinate and loving it. I traded a guy my incredible with 2.3 and he thought he was getting the better deal. I am thinking of upgrading before july 7 to the charge so I can get unlimited 4g. Please convince me not too, b/c I really dont have 300 bones to dish out.

I would believe this but.....every phone I activate at work clearly defines it as 3G or 4G in the system, 4G is always accompanied by a RTR code, which I assume is retroactive. and any brochure you look at will say 3g smartphone data, or smartphone and has no mention of 4G. Verizon has cleverly drawn the line.....soooo yes you may keep your 3g phone on unlimited but dont count on getting it with 4g, unless you get it before july 7th... just my two cents, based on experience

EXACTLY!!!! case in point, try sticking a smartphone on the Nationwide Connect family share plan....NWC was a plan that bundled unlim text, mobile web(not full data) and whatever voice plan.....smartphones are not compatible with these plans and must be changed

Just make sure you keep your existing plan. Im still sporting an Alltel plan, at least 4 years old, and three phones ago.

Perhaps I am being over critical but so what if we keep our current pricing, it's the data that is changing. It does not say your data will not be tiered at 2gb for the same price.

Sprint LTE

Sprint officially announced that its very first LTE tower cluster is now operational, thus marking yet another significant milestone in its Network Vision plan. The said tower array blankets the town of Kankakee, Illinois, which is located 60 miles south of Chicago. What Sprint also said is that field testing of its LTE infrastructure has been completed, meaning that the aggressive LTE rollout it announced earlier this year is still on track.

They did, The Verizon customer world spoke up and basically said hell no in majority.

I wonder which phones Sprint is giving to those people to test the new network.

So, lets see....
Ive been paying $10 extra per month for a service that is not and will never be in my area. And if/when LTE does show up in my area, ill have to by another phone in order to use it. Seems like Ive been ripped off.
EDIT: Make that $20/month and 2 new phones since my wife has one too

Heh, according to Sprint you are paying for the extra amount of data that smartphones use. Even though I thought my Palm Pre used a reasonable amount of data as well and that didn't have the surcharge. The iPhone 4 has no 4G and they pay the $10 too.

You must be on an old grandfathered plan, because this is what I see on the Sprint Blackberry page:http://shop2.sprint.com/en/stores/popups/blackberry_plan_details_popup.shtml
"Some important things to know about BlackBerry® smartphones
Plans for this phone require our $10/mo. Premium Data add-on charge in addition to one of the plans below."
And in smaller print about half way down the page it says
"Effective 1/30/11, monthly service plan rates for this phone increased to require the monthly $10 Premium Data add-on charge. Phone requirements: Certain phones require activation on a plan that includes data, other select plan or add-on. Premium Data Add-on: Smartphones include BlackBerry®, Android™, Windows® Mobile, Palm , Instinct® family of devices and other select devices."
There, I've run rings around you logically.

Okay, some fine print time.
Fine Print #1
Those who wish to stay with their current setup of 4GB of double data are able to do so. You will be allowed to upgrade with it, keep it, etc. So if the shared plan is not financially beneficial to you, don't sweat it.
Fine Print #2
Yes, those with unlimited will lose it. ONLY WHEN THEY UPGRADE. So if you never upgrade, you don't lose it for the foreseeable future. Do what I've been doing for years. Buy your phones off craigslist. Meet the seller at a Verizon, let a rep check the ESN and make sure you're not getting scammed with a stolen phone, and call it a day. I picked up my Nexus for $200 on Craigslist, the same cost it sells for at Verizon WITH CONTRACT. This will enable you to keep your unlimited.
The prices on this benefit a lot of people. Consider this:
2 line family plan, both smartphones
99.99 for 700 minutes & unlimited texting
30 for 2GB
30 for 2GB
=$160 a month
Under new plan:
$70 for unlimited talk and text, 4GB of data shared, now with free tethering
40 for 1 phone
40 for other phone
= $150 a month. $10 savings, same GB overall, now unlimited minutes.
I'm not saying this plan is perfect, or that it works for everyone. But the nice part is, if you don't want it, you're not being forced into it. It's an option that's available, and if it benefits you (and it truly does benefit a lot of people. Not everyone, but a lot) then more power to you.

I'll do glad that I am not on Verizon anymore because they are too expensive for their own good.

The real problem with them is that the market is not competitive. Being the biggest network means people will pay whatever ridiculous price they ask without really looking at their other options. I think Straight Talk should offer a $45/month unlimited everything, bring your own device program on Verizon like they do on AT&T and T-Mobile
Verizon smartphone users already **** bricks when they hear how I pay $45/month, don't have a contract, have unlimited everything, and have virtually identical coverage.

They do; Straight Talk re-sells service on all 4 carriers, but you can't bring your own phone for Verizon or Sprint because they won't activate phones that aren't branded by them (even if it's a phone from their own network, it has to be used only directly on their network). There are other limitations like having to reprogram the phone, but the main issue is getting them to activate it, which they don't do.

6 GB of Data

So today I got a great surprise that Verizon is upgrading my data to the 6gb plan instead of the 2 GB plan. I came from the unlimited data plan with my S3 and when checking my bill today online I noticed that I didn't actually have 2 GB of data I only had 1.29 and I was over my limit!!!!! As you can imagine I was pissed and called Verizon right away. The customer service representative told me that I should have been automatically enrolled in the 6gb data plan for 30$ a month same price as my unlimited data plan. She said it is part of the Max program. I am sharing this experience with all of you to tell you that if you are coming from an unlimited data plan and just upgraded you should call Verizon and figure out if you are eligible for this program.
Good luck everyone and I hope everyone gets more data for less.

I received a text asking if I wanted to double my data for free. All I had to do was reply yes, and it was done.

They offered to drop my bill $20/month. Took about 5 minutes on the phone.

I guess because I got the phone in the middle of the month they prorated my data usage; tomorrow is a new month for me so I will now have 6 GB instead of a prorated 2 or 1.29.

Yea, We got upped from 6gig to 10 gig for the same price. that coupled with the 25$ off per edge line isnt a bad gig.

they upgraded me from 3gb to 6 for the same price since i was supposed to get a free gb for the next 2 years since i pre-ordered it. i had to call 3 times to see where it was, and on the 3rd time, they gave me this and its better than a free gb for 2 years anyway

I was going to reply with how he got more data after getting rid of unlimited. But it seemed snarky. Maybe this is one of the few that never used more than 6gb a month anyways.

They'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands first before willingly giving this up..some people are insane...

Wow, I haven't seen unlimited data since years ago when sprint had their big unlimited everything plan they started.
I hope the government eats them all up in their lawsuit about unlimited.

Sprint still has unlimted data plans. They are the last of the big 4 carriers to offer unlimited data ( I don't count T-Mobile since they throttle after 4gb).
Also Verizon dropped their throttling plans for people with Unlimited Data. So there will be no law suite. .. well atleast for now.

I'm still on Alltel Unlimited and Verizon tried to throttle until I told them to read my Alltel contract

What do you do to use so much data even when I had unlimited I still didn't go above 10 gb

I find it difficult to not post this when people talk about data usage. Yes, I may be the reason(at least one of) Verizon want's to kill unlimited data.

Holy bat outta hell. Thats higher that what i normally hit even on my seedbox. Do you host your own seedbox or something on your pho e or computer to tether that much data?

Though rooted with unlocked tethering, I wanted to keep it as pure of a test as possible. I don't have a tethering subscription, and didn't want to give Verizon a reason to claim I was in violation of the TOS. That was direct to the phone (or to the External SdCard, rather) from Google Drive. At first I was surprised that Verizon didn't flat shut me off.....as I approached 7 TB, I was kinda surprised Google didn't. lol This was done just after Verizon went around saying they were going to start throttling unlimited data customers (only to change their mind later-thanks FCC). I figured it may be my last opportunity to do something like this. I don't normally top more than around 5-6 GB's/mo, but knew that given the available bandwidth, monthly allowances can "easily" be exceeded. I set out to see just how much data I could use in a month. When I broke a terabyte in just over 4 days, I knew the total was going to be ridiculous.
