Verizon CEO confirms $30 unlimited data plan for iPhone 4 [updated]

I was told on Sunday AT&T is revoking everyones grandfather unlimited data plan on placing them on the 2GB data plan.

A capped data plan just diminished any future plans I may have had to switch to Verizon…

All u thinking of purchasing an iPhone 4 or u people switching over from AT&T to get the iPhone 4 should all just wait for iPhone 5 this summer. What’s a couple of months anyways. Besides verizon network won’t let u multitask on the network and it even showed in the new apple commercial by showing the iPhones side by side until it multitasked, it only showed 1 iPhone. It’s a necessity on the iPhone 4 to mulitask…

man o man..when will Verizon EVER try harder to give its customers reasonable pricing on everything they sell

Not sure what the complaints are all about. Be first in line to get the iPhone. Get 30 dollar unlimited internet. Sure, it’s for a limited time, but that usually means MONTHS worth of “limited”. Oxymoron. Also, as far as who hogs what for data, worry about what YOU use. Verizon has this nifty little thing where you can track your data usage. Use it for a couple months – the vast majority of us could be SAVING money if they go to tiered plans like AT&T. Let that little 4% or whatever that uses MORE than 2GB pay the extra, if VZW so chooses. AND BEFORE YOU RETALIATE, ask yourself why the hell you’re using more than 2GB on a PHONE vs a COMPUTER a month – at this point, get an iPad or laptop that justifies the use. Also, BEFORE YOU RETALIATE AGAIN and say, “Why should I have to do that if I’m a corporate user?” Ask your boss if they like the extra data fees they’ll have to pay for you. Youtube can wait, work first.

I think the comment at the end is interesting. “The unlimited data will be a limited time offer”.

For all those people who have been saying 4G on Verizon will be unlimited I think this is evidence that unlimited plans will not exist for much longer. I think all the major carriers will charge extra for 4G and that eventually none of them will offer unlimited data.

It’s a real shame because I would have been interested in LTE for my home internet if it was cheaper than the cable operators, and unlimited. Seems like the carriers don’t want to compete with home ISPs.

i was about to say how awesome Verizon was for not conforming to AT&T’s policy..until i heard “limited edition”..WHAT THE HELL.

I have that with AT&T…I’m not ur daddy, I’m ya grandpa.

The 3G unlimited data plans will soon mean nothing when “4G” data plans will come out and you’ll be forced to get one in order to upgrade your phone.

Making it a limited time offer is pretty dumb because they could have held that advantage over AT&T’s head for a long time. Nice to see Big Red shooting themselves in the foot yet again. All I’ll say is that having been grandfathered into the unlimited iPhone data plan on AT&T, I don’t think I’ll ever give it up, even if I have to give up the speed advantages of 4G. I really doubt these guys can deploy 4G as quickly and as widely as they have deployed 3G.

“Someone”, I dont work for Verizon…… When the letter or announcement comes out, you can run your mouth then.

They really do want to bring their network down.

I don’t understand all the hubbubb over this and why its connected to iPhone at all.

1. Its been known for some time that Verizon would copy AT&T and push out tier plans.
2. Its completely stupid to think Verizon would do something different for the iPhone as compared to the other smartphones as its known Android users use more data anyways. Additionally, Verizon wants to use this to steal a large number of users from AT&T and crippling iPhone’s data plans vs Android/BB would work against that. Plus, I’d figure Apple would be pissed.
3. LTE is coming out ON PHONES over the next few weeks. It makes FAR more sense that the tier pricing will be reflected in that technology change than it would be based on the iPhone. As any customer upgrades to a new 4G LTE phone, like when they moved to 3G, Verizon will force you to change to a newer plan. These newer plans will have teired data plans.

This really isn’t rocket science people and contrary to popular belief the world does not revolve around an iPhone. To Verizon all the iPhone is, is a new tool to win customers as its a very popular device. It is not crutch on their system any more than an Android device and will not effect that network at all in the long run, beyond being extra busy for the first few days when it launches.

hey, Zach. Who is Lowell? and what is his title? Before you write something you might want to check facts so you don’t make yourself not look like the idiot you are.

@Donny …. is that so? Where do you get your information? You should cite a few different sources because the reality is the iphone eats more data than any phone. Hence the reason AT&T has the slowest data speeds in the industry. and now, Its only a matter of time before Verizon gets bogged down too by the ihog.

Noticed the “Update”… So they’re gonna suck you in, then switch it up… No thank’s I’ll keep my grandfathered plan…
