Currently I have 5 phones on my account. (2) Smart Phones and (3) Dumb Phones. Here's the breakdown of current billing without taxes.
All Phones are on a Shared 1400 Minute Plan $100 (Before 22% Discount)
(1) Smartphone - Unlimited Data $30 (Before 22% Discount)
(1) Smartphone - 2GB Data Plan $30 + $10 Line Fee
(1) Dumb Phone 75MB Data Plan $10 + $10 Line Fee
(2) Dumb Phone - Total of $20 Line Fee
My current bill is roughly $210 including all taxes and fees. From everything I've looked at on-line and speaking with Verizon, once I upgrade my Smartphone I am forced to change over to the Shared Everything Plan and my bill will instantly go up about $30-$40/month. This is freaking crazy! Why the heck would I want to pay that much more money for less service.
Am I missing something? I am considering upgrading my Smartphone and then activating it on my fiance's line since she is wanting a Smartphone, but isn't ready for an upgrade yet. Still I am forced onto the new plan and the bill goes up more than makes sense to me.
Is there an option available to me that I have missed? I can't see spending so much more money each month for nothing extra. Honestly I'm surprised that people aren't leaving Verizon in droves. I know I am considering it!
Thanks!!
