Verizon's Nationwide Calling & Data Plans

Beginning on November 1st, Verizon is replacing the current America's Choice calling plans with new Nationwide Calling Plans. First and foremost, current customers will keep their current plan, unless they call Verizon and request a calling plan change (such as a change of minutes). This is known as being "grandfathered" in.

The new plans will cost the same and offer the same amount of minutes as current Individual and Family Share plans. This includes the Basic, Select, and Premium plans.

The main difference with the new Nationwide calling plans is that Mobile Web is now included in with the price of all plans. However, when using Mobile Web on "Basic" and "Select" plans, you will be billed $1.99 per MB, instead of it using your plan minutes. Also, downloading through Get-it-Now will be billed as using data in adition to the price of the download. The only options not to be billed per MB is to add the $15 "VCast VPack" or $25 "VCast Mobile TV Select", which includes unlimited data usage, or select a "Premium" calling plan.

We have also been told that add-on data plans for BlackBerry devices will be lowered to $22 per month, but SmartPhone data add-on will remain at $45.

Misuse of information!

My question is why are you putting proprietary information on the web? Because I'll tell you right now, I do work for VZW, and if I were to find out who you were I would show you that we weren't joking when we put that label on the bottom, "proprietary information" for a reason.... you should be ashamed of yourself as a VZW employee~!!

Did you not read the article? If you still have the old calling plans, you will be grandfathered in, and you won't have to change to the new per mb data plans unless you change your minutes.

I agree

Man it looks like we have a some sending information straight from the tranning class to the web that is terriable, but to anwser the mobile web question no you can still use mobile web with the 5 dollar charge but if you change your rate plan then you would be on the megabytes package for 1.99 per meg

Prorated

Are these MB prorated? If i use 0.5 MB am I charged $0.98? Otherwise this is a scam designed to make people buy VCAST.

Boo VZW.

no 7pm

there has not been any talk of VZW coming out with nights starting at 7pm. don't hold your breath, i doubt it'll happen for awhile, especially since they're in the process of revamping their plans right now and it's not included in the new ones.

I agree with Lanman, I am not too thrilled that you posted this item as it is proprietary. Tisk TIsk

Dude, seriously!

What is wrong with you other VZW employees? We will have no access to any websites that aren't VZW internal sites if this crap keeps happening.

I so totally hope these idiots are found out and FIRED.
