    Verizon's 'DataGate' plans leaked in excruciating detail


    Verizon Indirect Dealer Memo

    As of this morning we have been given the green light to start training on the data changes Verizon Wireless is making effective 7/7/11.
    $29.99 unlimited data will be discontinued effective 7/7/11
    • EXISTING CUSTOMERS- That have our $29.99 unlimited data plan WILL BE GRANDFATHERED IN, they will keep their unlimited plan after 7/7/11
    • EXISTING CUSTOMERS- That current have the unlimited data WILL BE ABLE TO UPGRADE AND KEEP the unlimited data feature (No known end date on this as of this moment)
    • EXISTING CUSTOMERS- That add lines post 7/7/2011, will NOT be able to choose the $29.99 unlimited data feature
    • NEW CUSTOMERS- Any customer that sets up service from now, until 7/7/2011 WILL BE ON, AND WILL BE
    • GRANDFATHERED into our $29.99 unlimited data package
    • NEW CUSTOMERS- Any new customer that set up service AFTER 7/7/2011, WILL NOT be able to choose the $29.99 unlimited plan
    • BUSINESS DISCOUNTS- Currently our business discounts apply to the $29.99 data plan on the primary line only. Most discounts are 20% despite whatever monthly access discount they have
    • BUSINESS DISCOUNTS- After 7/7/2011 data discounts will only apply to the $50 and higher data packages on the primary line.
    • Discount break down ex. of customers with a 20% feature discount on their primary line. ($50-20%=$40/month for 5GB and includes the business e-mail feature)
      -- ($20/GB vs. $40/GB+ Business e-mail )


    So all changes effective July 7th, 2011.
    Existing customer KEEP their $29.99 unlimited data plan
    If an existing customer upgrades from a feature phone to a smart phone after 7/7/11, they will NOT be able to add on the unlimited data package. They must choose from the new data plans.
    Anyone who sets up new service with unlimited data, upgrades from a feature phone to a smart phone with unlimited data, or customer currently on the $29.99 before July, 7, 2011 will be grandfathered in.
    These changes also apply to employee plans as well (personal accounts w/work discounts applied)
    SO, This is a huge time for us to set our customers up with the right package for them! We only have 14 DAYS remaining for unlimited data, and until the new data pricing takes effect. (14 days to setup new customers w/unlimited data, and customers upgrading from a feature phone to a smart phone)
    PLEASE, PLEASE make sure we take advantage of this heads up and get our heavy data users set up on these unlimited plans before they change.

      Good news. I keep telling my GF to dump T-Mobile and get on my plan. She refuses. Oh well i'm good.

      Now I can just sit back and wait for the Bionic.

          Great news. Now all I need is for the Galaxy S2 to come to Verizon.

            Kinda sucks that I won't be able to keep my business discount. That was why it was cheaper for me to move to Verizon than stay on T-Mobile. It's always something man.

                    Sweet. I'm happy to be able to keep my unlimited data plan whenever I decide to get an LTE device.

                      Will there be a family plan for tiered data usage? I use less than 1GB a month right now but my wife doesn't have a smartphone. I wouldn't mind switching to a tiered plan if we could add her to the same plan instead of each having to add the $29.99 plan.

                        Maybe I'm just cynical, but I still think at some point that new phones will be walled off from people with grandfathered plans, they've done it before. But I'll cry about that when it happens.

                        LTE sounds great and all, but the phones need to catch up. Verizon only has one dual core phone now, and who knows how long it'll take companies to get acceptable battery life out of single core LTE phones.

                          Good question.
                          I have the $15 per month plan(limited usage...I rarely use it over the limit) and am wondering if I keep that plan under the new structure.
                          If not, I'm out....even with the 20% discount I get.
