Yea, will it be $80. plus the line access fee on top of that?

"$80 for unlimited data, talk and text on your smartphone with paper-free billing and AutoPay.
$45 per line for four lines with unlimited data, talk and text on your smartphones and tablets with paper-free billing and AutoPay."

I think for people paying the ridiculous prices for tiered data it's a good deal. And for people like me with serious company discount it's cheaper than ever. I wonder if the line access is going to be $45 for people with device payment plans as well

That's my whole deal. They don't really clarify if there price hike for the line access. If it stays where it is. I won't mind switching then I'll only being paying 68 for unlimited data.

Hmmm... details are a bit scarce on the VZW website. $80 plus line access fee of $20 plus a device payment on top of that (for some) or Apple for their program? That could be almost $150 PER LINE That's getting into mortgage territory...

Remember what I said above. I have original unlimited data, hotspot, insurance and DPP and my bill is $240 a month so even $150 is a good deal

Yowza! Do you use enough data to justify that? I use about 8 to 10 GB per month because of work, but my wife is on wifi all the time. Together we're about 12 gigs per month.

Just curious, but what do you do to use all that data? I'm on wifi nearly all the time except when I'm out of the office a couple of days a week, and that's when my data usage occurs.

I'm staying where I'm at. This has been a really light month on data. With my son and daughter we usually use much more data, 12-16GB. I have 6 days left in my cycle and we haven't used all the bonus data yet.

I'm using it very carefully. Haha. And tether my IPP or kids iPads on car trips... anything I come across. We have wifi at work; it's slow and I don't deal with it well so kids iPad and Netflix use some. Culmination of stuff uses that much. It's not on purpose.

Huh...T-Mobile is roughly $80 a month for three lines and that's including insurance and phone payments. I want to say it's $40 a month for four lines, that's before phone payments and insurance though.

Lol ok that makes total sense. And hopefully you know I wasn't trying to judge or data shame. I was honestly curious. The tethering on car trips would be nice. I've lied to my kids and said my phone wi t tether

Makes since if your streaming movies and tv shows heavily . What I have now gets me through the month. But like you said you like the fast speeds. So even though it's more cost efficient you'll lose your speed after the alleged cap. Just another win/loss situation.

Unlimited data should just always be a given, if I actually lived in my apartment I wouldn't need it though. Google Fiber FTW! Since I basically live out of hotels and the ones we've been staying at have horrendous wifi, I go through 35-50GB a month. The question is whether or not Verizon is a viable option when you have Sprint trying to play catch-up, and T-Mobile offering weekly freebies.

No freebie is worth my phone not working when where I need it to.
