Hi,
I have a Droid 3 on my account which is eligible for upgrade now. I was thinking of upgrading to iPhone 4S, but was going to wait for the new iPhone in October-ish. Anyway, this line has grandfathered unlimited data, so I was going to take the hit and upgrade by June 28th to preserve this. Another line on the account is eligible for upgrade on Tuesday, and will be upgrading from "dumb phone" to smart phone. There are two other dumb phones on the account, not upgrading any time soon. Under the new plans, would it be cheaper to go with Share Everything for this account, since there will be 2 smartphones and 2 dumb phones on the account? My data usage now is under 0.5GB, so I don't think either would go over the 4GB plan (shared).
My other question is, could I keep my unlimited data plan on the Droid 3 line, but move the other 3 (new smartphone, 2 dumb phones) to the Share Everything? Also, what would the estimated monthly price be for this, if it is possible? The Droid 3 line is not the primary line on the account and just pays a $9.99 monthly access fee plus data fee and insurance.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I'm in a similar situation, from my understanding (and talking to VZW reps on the phone) the share everything plans are account wide, therefore you can't really have some phones on the plan and other phones on a different plan, unless you have Verizon split them to a different account. Hopefully that answers your second question.
For your first question:
Cost at 700 minute family shared plan: $149.95+tax
Cost at 1400 minute family shared plan: $169.95+tax
Cost at 2000 minute family shared plan: $179.95+tax
Cost at Unlimited minute family shared plan: $199.95

Those prices are with 2 smartphones and 2 basic phones, one at the unlimited data plan price and the other at the 2 GB tiered price, and without texting or any other extras (hotspot, insurance, etc...), if you'd like to know the price with texting, add $30.00
4 GB Share everything plan: $210.00 (unlimited minutes, texting, mobile hotspot is enabled on qualifying devices)
*Base Plan: $70.00
Basic phones: 2 x $30.00
Smartphones: 2 x $40.00
Hi kd28 and Xyvis,
I have the perfect resolution for both of you! You can check this link http://bit.ly/KBmvR7 to calculate your usage and a plan will be recommended for you by the system. The Share Everything plans benefit some customers and are the better choice. Existing customers have the option to keep the plan they have, or switch to Share Everything. Here's a link for the Share Everything plans and the details http://bit.ly/L28X5x Thanks!
