PSA from a Sicc Breh: Cellphone Related

[Likwid]

Today is the last day for you to get into an Unlimited Data Plan at Verizon if you are a new customer or currently have a basic feature phone and want a smartphone (android, iphone, blackberry, and windows phone). Anyone on Verizon with a smartphone now is grandfathered in meaning you will keep your unlimited plan. Right now it is $30 for UNLIMITED DATA usage on your smartphone but if you miss today's deadline, you will pay $30 for 2gb $50 for 5gb and $80 for 10gb.

Just wanted to let my fellow sicc fucks know.

 

[:ab:]

fuck.tiered plans! fuck.

It's sucks balls, I'm going to hate selling it but fuck it all I can do is let people know.

 

[:ab:]

that's good lookin out. I got a tmobile grandfathered plan I prolly won't give up cuz of this BS.

 

[Defy]

I got unlimited data on ATT, there's been a couple times I went over 2gb since they introduced the 2gb limit but I wasn't affected

 

[fillyacup]

fuck...this is boolchit. do any service allow unlimited? whats the common usage? im sure its hard to tell but what about internet, youtube, app market, words with friends shit like that..email? is that data affected?

 

[DeepEastBeast]

Damn hella gay

 

[Meta4iCAL]

glad I'm grandfathered in

Sprint and TMobile still offer unlimited

To be real, I think the average user barely goes near 2GB usage on a regular month..I consider myself a heavy data user and always looked at my usage on ATT and now on Verizon and I would do 2GB-3GB average...only during months where I tethered, I would sometimes hit 5GB-8GB

I do like having the comfort of unlimited data and knowing it's there, and these tiered plans do suck, but in the long run it's not gonna affect most people unless your downloading full movies, albums, doing a shitload of streaming, (unauthorized) tethering every month..

you can log into your wireless account on your providers site and look at your data usage from past months to get an idea of how much you're using

will i still be able to have the unlimited data plan if when renewing my contract next year?

 

[ESFCE]

^yes... It's grandfathered in meaning if you already have unlimited you get to keep it

Also one thing I don't agree on is the prices...how you gonna charge the same price for 2GB that you charged for unlimited? Even ATT charges $15 for 200MB, $25 for 2GB and $45 for 4GB.

 

[fillyacup]

actually tmobile now has a data plan now, no more unlimited..they dont charge extra, just your internet is really slow after you go over which isnt to bad i guess

 

[MRTHECOSE]

tmobiles unlimited slows down after 5 gb per billing cycle. it just makes downloading podcast/songs slooow

 

[MysticOracle]

i was going to verizon next week to start a new contract with the droid charge...but without the unlimited data, im passin....those data plans they have arent nearly enough and are designed to go over...guess im sticking with metro PieCe of Shit for the time being...i wish they had more 4g phones

 

[Likwid]

Go to any network other than metro. Once you have service everywhere you won't ever want to go back.

 

[MysticOracle]

i actually have no complaints with my service....calls are never dropped...me and the lady usually compare ( she has at&t ) and her service sucks...i wouldnt go to at&t...i wanted verizon, we were both actually going to go with verizon she wanted the thunderbolt and i was getting the charge....however without unlimited data its not worth a contract for me and i have a feeling once i tell her she'll say the same ( she has unlimited data grandfathered over at at&t )

oh well i'll stick with my 50 dollar unlimited everything plan...

my only issue would be the lack of phones they offer

 

[MysticOracle]

i just texted her the news....she's passing on verizon like i thought she would

makes no sense...the unlimited data was the only reason why i was considering a contract...

#FUCKALLTHATSHIT

 

[Sydal]

Fuck all the dumb shit. I just dumped my iPhone and took it back to the days of old. Trying to simplify my life.

All the extra charges and shit are just ridiculous. As long as people pay for the bullshit, the companies will keep fucking everybody.

you must have one hellova battery
