Giving up unlimited data

[songbird]

I'm with Verizon & have an iPhone 5 and still have my unlimited data. I don't know how i would manage if i had a limit. I do a lot of web browsing, watch Hulu+, etc. Luckily i was able to use an upgrade from my family plan and it works out to where i will be continue to do so. I'm sure Verizon will somehow remove that feature soon but for now i'll do what i can to keep it.

Jailbreak your I phone and get the free hotspot apps

I've come to peace with the fact that I will be paying retail for my device from now on to keep my beloved unlimited. I got a taste of what it would feel like when I bought the iPhone 5 and let me tell you my friend, you have to keep it. There's nothing like being able to do what ever I want, when I want, wherever I am on my phone; especially in a day and age where that is becoming RARE. I don't have to jump on WiFi as soon as I get to Starbucks, cause I can do everything from LTE. Anyways, I agree if you jailbreak you can get hotspot apps. Not sure if the carrier will nerf your data for it or not, but you CAN get them. I use PDANet - my WiFi hotspot is called "FBI Surv. Van 1" HAHAHA!

The unlimited data is the only thing keeping me married to Sprint.

Absolutely!!! Their customer service is pretty good too...been with them for 10 years!

My kids insisted on staying with Sprint for that reason alone.

Can't wait until LTE is built out in my area.

I gave up my unlimited plan on Verizon. We have 3 iPhones and a dumb phone with 4gb of data. The most we've used a month was just over 2 gb

Going to the iPhone5, I gave up my unlimited plan as well... went back on MyVerizon and reviewed my usage of cellular data and with the ability to tether without an extra charge - I'm not going to be out any more money than before - just be able to use my data allotment & devices more conveniently than before.

Hmmm. To get an iPad, if I ever win a free one, I'm considering starting new plan through a new company just to keep my AT&T unlimited. Obviously that's ridiculous, but I have talked myself into wifi only just to avoid a new contract and losing the unlimited. Interesting read though I might have to look over my usage. Throttled at over 3 is annoying but better than being charged for going over.
