Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

I knew it was too good to be true:

Verizon Appears to Have Closed the Unlimited Data Keeping Extravaganza

Just tried. Looks like I missed out.

HUH?

I'm talking about the Unlimited glitch on the Verizon website.

 

[breadnatty08]

Well, I'll find out this afternoon.
I was one of those lucky guys who got in on the Best Buy screwup with the HTC Flyer a couple years ago without a hitch. But they locked that one up within an hour or so of the store being open.

 

[halon]

I just went on the Best Buy website and picked a phone then it asked about plan and I kept that then on the next screen it mentions data and that I must choose but the only option is keep my existing data plan.

Now I just tried Amazon and it want me to pick a new data plan. Same with wirefly.



Back from knee appointment. I was pretty much right about a tendon slipping out of place. He said there is something called an IT Band which is usually a runners problem. I don't run, I hate running. They couldn't do an MRI because I have had no problems for almost 3 days. Best he could do for now is therapy.

Well, I'm glad it's nothing SERIOUS Halon - hope your knee continues to get better

Ditto!

No dice on the G2. Lady said when I go to activate it, buy buy Unlimited.
Oh and to top it off, the wife's Gnex isn't charging.
If they can't get it fixed, we may be looking at a tiered plan. Going to look at previous bills and see how much we use on average.

 

[halon]

I'm at best buy. They can put you on 6gb plan, subsidized G2. So yes a two year contract, not Edge. I'm thinking about it?

 

[breadnatty08]

Yeah, I am too. Would BB be any cheaper than going with Verizon? Can the VERIZON30 code be used in stores?

 

[halon]

I couldn't imagine being able to use a code in store? I believe the difference between BB and VS is the protection plan.

 

[breadnatty08]

Well, looking at a couple bills, we only use about .5Gb-2.5Gb of data. I think it may be time to dump unlimited.

Edit: And just talked to the wife, and it's charging through her PC at work!
Still a little worried about it, I'll take a look when she gets home.

 

[halon]

My nexus won't let me turn the phone volume down with the button. I have to go into settings. Definitely showing its age. I'm in BB parking lot now, still thinking..

 

[breadnatty08]

Best of luck, Halon. We both have upgrades available, but we'd lose Unlimited if we go subsidized (no way in hell I'm paying $600+ for a phone). I think it's at the point, we really don't need it.

 

[halon]

I know. Just hard to do. Kinda sad. Lol

 

[halon]

I was at a BB Mobile and BB and I mentioned the 8gb for $50. No one knew what I was talking about.

 

[breadnatty08]

Dang, I guess I just don't use that much. 8Gb is pretty crazy!

 

[halon]

Apparently results are mixed. Some people got their phone and kept unlimited. Some didn't.


Just in: Verizon will honor the glitch

[breadnatty08]

Damn, I knew I should have pushed more. But, thankfully, coming home and looking at our ACTUAL usage, I just don't think unlimited means much to me anymore.
Screw it, I got a few minutes, I'll give Verizon a call.

 

[The_Chief]

Okay, you guys beat this:


I actually found the new KitKat Android wrapper candy and bought ten of them. Randomly. Pulled only ONE out of the bag, at random, ate the KitKat, and entered the code:

​

See ya in the Play store!

 

[breadnatty08]

Alright, Verizon, this is the last straw.
Just talked to a woman right now after reading the statement on DL. Had I NOT cancelled my order this afternoon, they would have honored the upgrade with unlimited. WTH?!?!
Now, there was no way to go back. I'm pissed. :banghead:
I told her about all this misinformation and there was "nothing" she could do. Do you think it's worth trying to talk to someone higher up?

 

[halon]

My thinking is once you canceled it the deal is off.

That's gonna fry the CEO bad, since he just came out against unlimited in a BIG way. I expect the company to employ any and every means possible to end unlimited for everybody. All that much more intensely.

 

[breadnatty08]

I'm really unhappy about this. I understand they screwed up, but come on. I've been with Verizon since 2000. The same SA I talked to said that all the other carriers have comparable prices! Are you kidding me? Had I read DL before I got to the store, I would have changed my tactics. I guess you can't believe anyone says to you in the store.
