Verizon to kill unlimited plans for existing customers

Have you guys seen this? Doesn't totally surprise me. I figured it would happen sooner or later. Still makes me sad though.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57...plans-for-existing-subscribers/?tag=cnetRiver

as soon as it happens, I'm cancelling my contract (since they violated the TOS), and jumping ship to an MNVO.
I don't mind not having unlimited data so as far as my bill reflects that.

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is an MNVO?

I don't know if they would be violating the TOS. I'm pretty sure the contracts that we all signed gave them the right to change any damn thing they want, whenever they want to.
This move has probably been planne for since 4g was a but a twinkle in their eye.
I'm pretty sure we'll have to wait out our "upgraded" contracts until the original end dates. And they're betting that by then, we'll have gotten used to the "upgrades."
I just love that have the nuts to call this an upgrade. Freaking hilarious.

well from what ive read, it's for customers with a 3G phone going to a 4G phone. I think if you don't upgrade from them you should be able to keep it. Looks like if the Nexus line expands and is sold through the google play store, im buying my phones straight from google

that how i'm reading it too, it doesn't sound like i will be required to change my data plan until i upgrade again.
The way it will likely work is that as 3G unlimited contracts expire, Verizon will push subscribers to upgrade their devices to smartphones on company's 4G LTE network. These customers will then have to sign up for the data share plans.

Probably. But that's the velvet glove. Do we know anything about the iron hand inside? If Verizon's spiel is "Upgrade to 4G LTE" and the customer's response is "No thanks", will Verizon counter with "Upgrade to LTE or else find another provider"?
The mindset I'm sensing behind killing off grandfathered unlimited is that they want all of their customers capped, and if you won't be capped, you won't be their customer. They're playing chicken, and most of their affected customer base will be the first to flinch.

They updated their plan...

Yeah, looks like they've opened a loophole in their plan. You lose your grandfathered unlimited if you buy a subsidized new phone (i.e., renew contract). So, if you craigslist or ebay a phone, and convince Verizon to activate it, you'll keep the unlimited data. (Or, if you like giving money to Verizon, buy the phone new from them.)
Interesting. I wonder how many upgrading customers who want the new-new shiny and don't pay much attention to contract plan dynamics will miss that distinction and lose their unlimited access without fully realizing it?

Yup im switching to tmobile! This is such bs!! Tmobile will b the only carrier left with "unlimited" data, after verizon pulls this stunt!!! Oh well, tmobile @ least has the one series phones. Suck it verizon!!

Screw you tmobile

Tried to buy one off contract at a T-Mobile store since my g nexus is on its last limbs and they refused to sell one to me. They said they were only for new lines. Pretty ridiculous, I'm punished for being their customer. As soon as my value plan contract is up I'm switching to straight talk.

Whoever said that lied to you. They offer all phones off contract, you should have asked to speak to a supervisor. That's the reason they offer a non commitment price in the first place.

What I would do is call another T-Mobile store while you're standing in that store.

Get customer care on the line and they will make them sell you the phone... They are trying to earn commission by only allowing new customers to get the phone and that is wrong and against policy.

Could you do this?
Got to T-mobile Store, sign up for a new two year agreement. Get the N for $200.
Call and cancel service. Pay EFT of $200. Keep the phone for $400.
It seems its only slightly more than the Play Store price, and less than the full retail price ($499?)

Standard practice is to also charge you the the difference in the phone price if you cancel within the remorse period. You would have to keep the phone until after the remorse period, pay the service charges for that period, as well as the ETF.

So....they paid 500 for the device off contract at a t-mo store? Why the heck would you do that?
Also if you cancel contract right after buying the phone ON contract, they're going to charge you the full "retail" price plus termination fee.

Because I'm currently phone less.

I haven't had difficulties getting the phone (able to buy from the Play store) but T-Mobile isn't helping me switch from Verizon.
Online sold out of prepaid micro-sim cards
Went to store, wouldn't sell the micro-sim without signing up (then I can't do the $30 plan)
Ordered regular prepaid sim
Went to store, asked to cut the sim to micro-sim size, said they didn't do it for non-customers
Asked if I could exchange the regular sim for micro-sim, said no
Cut down to micro-sim size myself, activated online at 3:30pm Friday
Got an error message during activation, and have to wait for a text message from TMobile that it's activated, it's not 12pm Saturday

I'm in the process of doing that. He wouldn't give me the corporate number but I called the store I usually go to and they're going to give that to me.
PSA don't visit T-Mobile stores in prick neighborhoods. They're run by pricks.

[Q] Easiest way to carrier unlock

Picked up a Rogers Moto X on the weekend, unlocked the boot loader, now what is the easiest way to carrier unlock as well?
No way i'm ever going to actually use Rogers as a provider.
Thank yah.

Use a third party company who'll sell you an unlock code.

I have unlocked 2x Rogers Moto X via cellunlocker [.net] for use on Bell
It's like $8 and turnaround was 3 hours for the first and like 6 hours for the second (albeit I did both on the weekend)

Correct me if I am wrong but if you buy a phone outright isn't the carrier suppose to unlock the phone for you too?

Nop. For Rogers you have two options:
1. Buy just the phone for $599+tax and unlock it yourself (you lose your warranty as per Rogers). Not all stores will allow you to purchase it like this though. If they let you buy just the phone they only make $50, where as if they get you on a plan they make $200. I bought mine at Shops at Don Mills (Don Mills and Lawrence) in Toronto. They should still have stock.
2. Buy the phone for $549.99 and go on a month to month plan for 90 days (3 months). ONLY after that you can PAY Rogers $50 to unlock it. The first option was cheaper for me as I'm with Bell Mobility. You still lose warranty if Rogers unlocks it, as per Rogers.
3. Sign a contract. I don't do contracts. I like being off the leash nom sayin'?
I know this doesn't coincide with the new CRTC rules but Rogers hires lawyers to find basically everything they can get away with. The CRTC rules technically don't start till December 2nd.

LOL Robbers, sounds about right. I wasn't impressed by their plans at all. I was gonna switch to Rogers cause their support and LTE speeds are slightly better, but their plans just flat out SUCK right now. I'm paying $74 after tax on Bell for a fat plan (6GB data, unlimited this and that, caller ID etc) and an equivalent plan on Rogers would cost me $105 + tax
I was like naw I'm good just sell me the phone lol
I'm hoping Verizon is determined to dominate Rogers by offering much better deals. Trust me, the coming competition between Verizon and Canadian carriers is great news for the consumer. Everyone's gonna price cut each other and we will laugh all the way to the bank =P

That'd be great in theory. But corporations exist to make money. While I do sincerely hope Verizon will bring competition; I also doubt they'll shake down the market. Why make less if you can rob people in broad day light?

Because with Verizon being a new player, they will have to undercut Rogers(Fido) and Bell(Virgin) to make sales. They have to offer a better value proposition to get people who are loyal to existing Canadian Carriers to switch over.
I know I wouldn't switch my carrier unless I got a better deal or better speeds/service.
But you could be right because Verizon can outbid all Canadian Carriers combined in the upcoming frequency band auction so they could just have same prices as everyone else and just brag about having the fastest speeds. Kind of like what Rogers is doing right now. Just to give you a number, Verizon has 100 million customers, Rogers has 10 million. They have deep pockets mang.

That's because they've moved to 2-year plans and jacked up the monthly cost to ensure they make up the subsidy within the contract term. Take a look at Bell's current plans and you'll see something similar. In comparsion, your current plan is probably based on a 3-year contract.
You can thank the CRTC for how this turned out.

Another +1 for CellUnlocker. They came through for me overnight. They're the cheapest I've seen of any other unlock service (Unlockcode247, UnlockUnit).

Rogers unlock
Rogers says if you buy outright they will unlock for free as per CRTC rules starting in Dec. Rogers say they will honor the rules now on outright phone purchases. That being said the 8 bucks I paid to cellunlocker.net was well worth it, got the code in less then an hour and didn't have to deal with anyone from Rogers. The Moto x will work on fido out of the box as thats my carrier I just unlocked mine to use in the USA.

Successfully activated black 32gb on Sprint

Just a heads up for those worrying, today my Nexus 5 and SIM card both arrived. I got the black 32gb version. I also was able to order a SIM card from sprint worldwide. I attempted to activate it through the website, but was prompted to use the chat option. The person with whom I spoke on chat asked for an ein/esn, and a sim number. I provided the mied and number for my new sim card. I then turned my phone back on, and viola, LTE and voice both work perfectly.
So don't be discouraged if you ordered a 32gb black Nexus 5 and have a brand new sim card.

Do they still charge $87/month even though you bought a phone outright?

I wouldn't be to worried, Sprint Memo sent out to their stores. Everything will work out eventually hopefully on the 8th when the 16GB version is launched on Sprint.
INFORMATIONAL
Nexus 5 By Google
Sprint and LG Electronics USA announced Nexus 5 from Google will be available from Sprint beginning Friday, 11-8-13, for $149.99 (16GB version) after a $50 mail-in rebate via reward card with a new line or eligible upgrade and two-year service agreement or $18.75 per month with Sprint One Up (excluding taxes).
The Nexus 5 will be available in all sales channels, including Sprint Stores, Web Sales and Telesales (1-800-SPRINT1). Customers can pre-order the device beginning Friday, 11-1-13, by visiting www.sprint.com/nexus5.
The sleek, powerful new LG tri-band capable device featuring Android 4.4 will allow users to take advantage of Sprint Spark technology for improved 4G LTE speed and capacity
The full press release is available on Sprint.com.
Note: Google Play Stores and UICC Cards
Preferred Retailers with an ASC
Google Play stores will be selling 16GB & 32GB Google Nexus 5 in their stores.
These devices are un-kitted and require a Sprint 4G UICC card in order to activate Sprint service.
These ESN's will be recognized by Sprint.
Since stores may not have inventory of these UICC cards we are going to ship 5 4G UICC cards (SKU = 760492013536) at no charge to each Preferred Retailer with an ASC.
This will allow you to insert the card and activate the device for the customer.
All locations should expect these UICC cards to arrive by or before the 11-8-13 launch of the device.
Dealers with No ASC
Sprint suggests Dealers with no ASC to send these customers to Sprint Corporate Owned Stores or Preferred Retailer ASC locations.
Standard activation commissions apply.
Sprint will also have these available in Ingram soon for Dealers to purchase as needed.

There are a couple reasons
Like me, someone may be not up for a new contract yet so the only option is to buy outright.
Someone maybe at the end of their contract and want to go month to month which sprint will do if a customer doesn't renew the contract.
If i wasn't only a year into this contract i would probably go for the $50 version as long as it was the exact same phone.

Want a TMob Note 4 to use on AT&T - Unlock gotchas?

I'm planning on getting a N910T in order to root. I"m looking at one on Swappa that is not unlocked.
I don't know what the range of costs are for unlocking. Have looked at 2-3 sites but don't see prices. They first want the IMEI. Can anyone tell me the range of costs?
MOre importantly, it appears that Swappa checks if they are paid for phones ' on some'. Based on their statements, they don't do that for all.
I'm wondering if there I should be concerned about whether I can get one unlocked.
Any thoughts appreciated.

TMO won't unlock until it's been on their network for 40 days, from what I understand. That was what I found. I have to purchase an unlock code online.
BTW...be sure you change the APN. I didn't...and it worked. But, the GPS was horrible. Once I changed the APN, GPS started working a lot better.
