Leaked image may show Verizon's plans for shared data plans

article published on 30 January, 2012

Near the end of last year Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam suggested the company was working on simplifying data plans for customers with multiple devices. Shared data plans seem like an inevitable development in the current environment where a single account may have multiple smartphones and carriers are also hoping to sell hotspot and tablet access.

Way too much. Thank God my wife does not care for smart phones. Hell she doesn't even use voice mail, which sucks sometimes.

There is no way in hell I would have a multiple smartphone home. Especially on Verizon. Everyone is just going to have to go get their own phones (and their own damned jobs too) if they want smartphones. The data plans are getting out of wack.

And don't even bother debating any of it. That's just fodder for a hate-fest all over again. One carrier over another; every area in the US & abroad is different. Now that entertainment is becoming more prevalent in the US phone market, their REALLY wanting to clamp the vise on everyone's nuts about data charges.

Verizon is definitively the most expensive provider only rivaled by ATT...........this "shared" plan will inevitably be high priced as well and screw the customer in the long run. I just don't know why people are willing to pop that kinda cash for cellular service when Sprint and T-mobile are significantly cheaper. Despite the service being better (which I concede it is), essentially people just use their phones in town and for GENERALLY basic use.

Verizon has plenty of dead zones too.

What I want is to not have a data plan at all. I use my own WiFi for all my data. I already pay $70 a month to have 2 phones, but I have to have a data plan even if I don't use any damn data. Quite a rip off.
