Sign in to My Verizon -> Under "My Verizon" tab in drop down under My Plans and Services select "Change Minutes, Text, or Data" -> (VZ will retrieve your account info) -> Scroll down page under the phones listed on your plan to link "View Share Everything Plans" -> Click "Continue to Plans" -> Make selection under "Plan Options" for data -> Scroll down on same page to link "Compare Plans"

Hope this helps!

If you want to upgrade to a substidized phone then you loose any old plan you had. Talk about VZW screwing their existing customers.

disgusted doesn't even come close to describing the way I feel.

I suppose my terrible 3g has nothing to do with the fact that most of the people who have unlimited data have 3g phones and vzw knows they will want to upgrade soon anyway. I'm sure they are telling everyone who calls in that they need a new phone. surprise! you will lose your unlimited data.

4g lte thunderbolt

it kills me because where i live i don't have 4g, so i'm suffering as a matter of circumstance.

I went to walmart and compared STRAIGHTTALK to VZW and I hate to say it but I am going to try out one of their phones for a month, and may go ahead and switch over to an android phone. Its way cheaper than VZW and you get unlimited everything while their prepaid is only 1gb per month for the same price (and no 4g service unlike straighttalk). This long time customer is probably gone from VZW depending on Straighttalks coverage.

I love when people threaten to leave like it means anything.

There is always someone to replace you. Someone with more kids, more devices, more money to put in their pocket. When will people understand this? Loyalty is a fallacy for this reason alone. The demand is so high, it doesn't matter. As long as people keep popping out babies, the demand will keep growing.

You know why corporations hire psychologists? So they can advise how to get people to sign up easier. Make them feel welcomed, important, and confident in their purchase and make them feel like their loyalty will reap them great rewards with the company. Guess I grew up differently...

Look, I'm not out to belittle anyone or say its wrong to complain. However, being at the top allows you to offer a premium service at premium price. Its not perfect, but its still the best, and it will be priced as such. U mad cuz u can't ford' it bro?

I tried doing this and there isn't any option to "compare plans". Clicking "Change Minutes, Text, or Data" leads straight to the Share Everything plans. And nothing indicating what your employee discount would be.

Does your phone have a calculator?

Doesn't show up for me either when trying to change the plan. Oddly enough the compare option does show up when I try to add a line though.

Well it would be Nice if Explanations on these plans would be like it was back in the day when Cellular companies like Ks Cellular was running the show. When you got a phone back then you went in a Conference Room or you set at a Desk and you didn't leave the store till the plans were fully explained front to back & side to side. And the phone you bought was programmed and the Ins & out's on it were explained thoroughly by the rep. and he or she. made sure every thing worked properly on it as well. Now it's all fast fast fast..Like McDee's Give me Double Quarter With every thing but hold the Lettuce and the Tomato.! and the Onion.. b33
