Hi, Actually, those new plans they announced are shared data plans. Each device you own has a starting base price. I believe it's 40 dollars for a smartphone, 30 for a feature phone, and 10 for a tablet. >From what I read, they can get to be quite expensive.

You may want to wait as new pricing plans have been announced by Verizon. >From what I understand, the plans will offer unlimited minutes and unlimited texting, and the more devices you own, the cheaper it will be. I called when I heard the announcement on Tuesday, the day the announcement was made. It was suggested to wait until the end of June when the plans take effect. Apparently, the reps knew about as much as the public did, and training was to be provided on the plans. So I'd suggest checking back around July 1 for specifics on their new pricing plan options. By the way, for existing customers, one does not have to give up their current plan.

What I'm asking is this: > > My mom has asked me to price Verizon's plans and phones. I've been wanting to get an iPhone, but T-Mobile doesn't offer it for whatever bizarre reason. Maybe my question is really about GSM versus CDMA. I travel internationally periodically, and I'd like to keep options open in case I get a job abroad. Obviously Verizon doesn't work abroad, but I'm wondering if it'd be wise to go with them domestically being that they don't use sim cards. With GSM phones, you can unlock them and get a sim card for whatever city in whatever country. > > I hope that I haven't confused anyone. > > Thanks, > > Ben > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. > To search the VIPhone public archive, visit http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
