After going through their "plan finder" I realized that I will be keeping my old plan for as long as humanly possible.
I finally got around to really checking the costs, and here are my results.
Is $20 a lot of money? Not really. However, that's $240 a year I'd rather keep, thanks.
Looking at Verizon's message boards is very frustrating because it proves that other people - families specifically - are getting screwed even more than us singletons!
How am I going to avoid it? Hold on to my current plan as long as they will let me, then find a new carrier as soon as my contract is up (which unfortunately isn't until April 2011)
Isn't the 29.99 plan only if you have a phone like the blackberries and a few other ones. If you don't, you can get the mobile email that is included in the everything plan. (Unless this is a recent change in the last few months.) Also if you have a Crackberry or similiar, I think the insurance is $7.99 a month.
ReplyDeleteMy blackberry is $95 a month after tax, just 1500 text instead of unlimited, similar plan to yours. What is supposedly "better" about the new plan? You never said there were any added features.
ReplyDeleteGenevieve - they made these changes in the middle of January. The cost for unlimited talk is less now, but no longer bundled with data. You have to buy data separately now - and the least expensive unlimited data plan is $29.99 for any phone.
ReplyDeleteHowever, you can get 20 megs a month for $9.99. This would probably be sufficient for my purposes, but the comparison is in order to get the same things I have now on their new plan system.
