Disappointing that they aren't even going the AT&T route and lowering the price slightly for the 2GB plan.

They say that customers want tiered pricing, but then set the current unlimited price as the 2GB plan. Yeah...that is really looking out for customer choice.
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:

grandfathered in unlimited 4G :cool:
[Thunderbolt General] CJO:
So it looks like it's finally time to upgrade my Eris. Is the Thunderbolt the way to go? I want 4G, but was hoping for something a little smaller...

Thanks,

CJ
[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
The thunderbolt is like the eris big brother that went to college, graduated and now owns a fortune 500 company...

Go for it
[Thunderbolt General] Zinsko:
You know what it is at&t are gonna rape them come conversion time. So they wanna rape who ever then can get. So I'm happy I just started a 2 year agreement. So basically when is done I'm going to at&t and get charged the extra few bucks a month. **** there gonna have service everywhere now.
[Thunderbolt General] KnightCrusader:
I got 4 words (maybe 5, depends on how you count the /)

Unlimited 4G for $10/month :D
[Thunderbolt General] Nikolai2.1:
**** Verizon. Once my two year contract is over I'm taking my business somewhere else
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Sprint, I know your coverage sucks, but keep unlimited for another year and a half and I promise I will switch to you! :p
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
Oh yeah, adding T-Mobile is just going to expand their service so much :rolleyes:.

Anyone notice AT&T cannot do simple math. They say they cover 97% of all Americans (about the time the commercial started, total population was about 310 million). 97% comes to about 301 million. But somehow by adding T-Mobile, they say they will cover another 50 million Amercians. which would equal about 360 million :confused::confused::confused:
[Thunderbolt General] eraursls1984:
Sorry you fell for it. They offered the discounts for a year to get people off of the unlimited plans. After the year you are stuck with their current pricing plans. That's why I declined that "great offer"
[Thunderbolt General] joshnichols189:
Yes.. let's all switch companies when our contracts are up even though half of you won't be changing your plan and thus will be paying the same as you are now..

And if you read the original article, the same people that said the switch is coming are also saying you can renew your same plan for and get a subsidized phone while keeping unlimited data.
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
Counting people multiple times apparently counts with them. Same way I can say that I've slept with 13,438 girls. :)
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
This is gonna be bad for business with Amazon, netflix and Google all using streaming services. Even if you don't stream a lot of data or tether.. you can EASILY use upto 3 GB of data per month on normal usage. So 30 bucks for 2GB means we'll all have 4G phones with superfast broadband.. but use it only check emails or maps to find directions occasionally.

and why the **** does Verizon want to charge 20 bucks extra for tethering when it is ALREADY a limited data plan?? How the heck does it matter to verizon if I am paying 50 bucks for 5GB data and I use it over the phone or on my PC thru the phone???

that's just plain greedy...(assuming this is all true information of course.. if it's just a rumour and VZW keeps up with unlimited data for 30 bucks.. I LOVE YOU VERIZON!).
[Thunderbolt General] KarukTribe:
2 more than me. I will catch up this weekend.
[Thunderbolt General] Zinsko:
Make sure to read the fine print make sure it doesn't say up to like 600mega bites becausethey offer you full speed up to that amount then it goes slow. Yeah its unlimited but it goes slow after a amount is used. What company though.
[Thunderbolt General] ddgarcia05:
Can I change my call plan within the contract time for something lower without renewing the contract.
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
I am pretty sure yes..
[Thunderbolt General] KarukTribe:
Depends on how you look at it.

I easily use 5-8gb per month on my phone. Once I get netflix on my phone it will be more. At home I use closer to 150gb between 2 laptops, an ipad, apple tv, ipod touch, and a roku.

Does it seem reasonable that I should be able to send the other 150gb over my 4g connection for the same price? No.

Should I get tethering up to 2gb per month for free. YES!
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
???? what are you talking about dude.. It is a

limited

data plan!! so how can I send 150gb when my data plan is only 2GB for 30 bucks??
[Thunderbolt General] albotz21:
Thats ridiculous. I would definitely leave. You think they can charge you a cancellation after they changed what you agreed to? They are going to loose alot of people!
[Thunderbolt General] SCDroid:
No because they aren't changing your CURRENT contract, this new tiered plans will come when you sign a new contract.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Which basically means when anything on your contract changes. So technically as long as I don't change my contract I could have unlimited data for another 10+ years.
[Thunderbolt General] Turb0wned:
So my question is this... 4g and 3g plans are going to stay the same price then? I ask because my girl has the iphone4 unlimited data. If she decides to switch to a 4g phone later does she keep her unlimited?
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
which means you can't upgrade at a discounted price anymore...
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
don't go to sprint, their network sucks and so does the wimax. i know as i just left sprint for verizon and the tbolt.

good thing my wife and i just signed a two year agreement so this shouldn't affect us.
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
I hear ya.. I too left sprint to come to VZW.. but Sprint's data plans are much cheaper.. and where I live, Sprint's 4G coverage is not too bad (around 70% of VZW's LTE speed)..
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
This is basically the way I am thinking right now. In 2 years who knows how everything will shape up? So for now I am going to enjoy my unlimited 4G and hope that when my contract expires something better will have popped up.
[Thunderbolt General] Eddog4DROID:
I thought I heard Verizon was going to do a share data plan for between family members.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
I heard this too but have yet to see ANYTHING about prices or data usage. I will post if I see anything lurking around.
[Thunderbolt General] infinite012:
My girlfriend has a Sprint Hero and I have found that it gets great service in all the places that she needs service. Another plus for Sprint is that they are cheaper than Verizon. Her plan: $70/month; My plan: $100/month.

I'm glad I got in on the unlimited plan last month. 4G or no 4G, I don't want to have a limited data plan.
[Thunderbolt General] BoulderGeek:
I just got off the phone with a CSR about my new account. She says they are well aware of this rumor, but that nothing is in stone, yet.

She assured me that my new contract will be honored for two years, as long as I don't swap out the TBolt for another model.

She agreed with the emotions and opinions posted in this and other forums. But, of course, first tier customer support isn't corporate steering committee.

Two years is a very long time for me to plan anything. More likely situation is that I'll get a foreign placement job and have to eat the ETF as a cost of doing business.
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
sprint's plans are cheaper but verizon has better coverage and the 3g & 4g speeds are more reliable and faster, at least where i live. besides the fact i get 17% off my bill monthly from my company. im happy i made the switch. :D
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
you can switch out your tbolt after like 6 months time. the contract will not change, trust me.
[Thunderbolt General] itzjonjon69:
wait so for those who got the t-bolt on release day, does that mean we get to keep our unlimited 4G?
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
yes.. this is only for new contracts or if/when you renew your contract.
[Thunderbolt General] jjlean:
Grandfathered?
[Thunderbolt General] tu3218:
Wait, so next time I'm eligble for an upgrade I still will get unlimited data 3g/4g for $30/month? Assuming I keep the same family plan with 4 phones.
[Thunderbolt General] cigar3tte:
Depends on how she gets the phone. If she wants the phone at subsidized pricing, she'd have to sign a new 2-year contract, which would only offer tiered data plan.

If she picks up a new phone w/o contract (either full price, or through eBay/Craigslist/etc.), her contract remains the same and she'll have 4G. Data plan is data plan, it does not differentiate 3G and 4G.
[Thunderbolt General] tarigand:
That tierd pricing plan is not appealing at all, although I should be grandfathered into Unlimited data.

What if someone else on my line wants to get a data plan, will they be grandfathered in if they get a smartphone after the tiered pricing comes out?
[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
Wife and I just made the switch to big Red last month, both have unlimited data. As long as they keep grandfathering us in I'll stay, the minute they don't, I'm out. Those Data plans are stupid expensive, especially considering how LTE phones burn through data. This is going to keep their customer service lines busy as hell, I see them re-adjusting these rates in the future.
[Thunderbolt General] Turb0wned:
Yeah from now on I only buy phones at full price or off someone.
[Thunderbolt General] tarigand:
Is that just because you do not want to sign a new two year agreement after tierd data? what if since you are grandfathered in, that "unlimited" data plan doesn't change when you get a new phone at the new "New Every Two" deal?
[Thunderbolt General] Eddog4DROID:
This is a good question. Once new prices are implemented and we want to change phone, is there any benefit buying off contract used as opposed to signing a new two year?

As in, do you have a better chance at being grandfathered in by buying used? or does it really matter?

I suppose, no one knows these answers yet. I thought LTE was going to a tiered plan and 3G would stay unlimited. So I jumped on the TBolt for that reason only. Thankfully, rooting this device helped squash any regrets, but it looks like getting an LTE phone unlimited or staying with my Fascinate would not have mattered at this point.
[Thunderbolt General] microdot:
true but only until your contract ends.
[Thunderbolt General] dadsterflip:
What happens to people when their contract ends. Are they forced to use thief plans or go month to month basis. ?
[Thunderbolt General] jdk2:
I see them making adjustments alright. Only what I see is not too appealing.
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
Digital rape.
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
Nope, 3G going to 4G will require a new contract.
[Thunderbolt General] albotz21:
It just doesn't make sense. I mean the plans make sense to me, but dont you think there will be a decent amount of cancellations. Even if you have to pay cancellation fee, and switch, it will be cheaper in the long run. Doesn't Verizon realize that? Especially when the prez of sprint personally goes on tv and says they have truly unlimited data plans? I dont know that my 2 cents
[Thunderbolt General] dexter35803:
ik some ppl should be lookin to cricket with those data prices lol 3G aint all that bad since u will have to pay outrageous money for 4G speeds on VZW
[Thunderbolt General] mbrown3460:
Lol at those plans, let's say I switch from my thunderbolt and I buy a different phone off contract will Verizon change my data plan?
[Thunderbolt General] albotz21:
Thats what i was thinking if your contract runs out and you dont start a new one and buy a phone at full retail will you stay off the tier?
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
exactly!!!

that's my thoughts

why???

Since when? I just joined verizon and got 2 3g and 2 4g unlimited plans. The plans don't differentiate between 4g and 3g. Both just say smartphone unlimited (or corporate which was 50/ month).

As far as I know as long as you don't make changes to your plan when upgrading, you will be grandfathered in, just like on at&t and those sprint people that are still on the employee referal plan that ended a while back.
[Thunderbolt General] stanlalee:
With these new rates after 7/6/11 they better be giving Tbolts, Charges and Revolutions away as with these rates I expect out of pocket cost to be fully subsidized over a 2yr contract. Bad enough they have the weakest line of high end phones that already cost more out of pocket then everybody elses superior hardware now they want to charge the highest tiered data rates to go along with them. I'm only a few months into my 2yr contract but the minute its up if and when they decide to impose a tiered data plan I'm switching and getting a phone thats not always a step or two behind the latest tech offerings. This LTE **** is only exclusive to verizon NOW anyway. by the time my contract is up AT&T, Sprint and whoever T-mobile will be then should be well on its way to LTE.
[Thunderbolt General] gqgk:
Grandfathered in or not, I think it's time I take my money elsewhere... AT&T maybe? Seems like they do a good job growing and getting the best phones they can.
[Thunderbolt General] stopswitch:
People need to stop spreading rumors. None of these prices are in stone and no one knows how this will effect unlimited data users.

All I know is my friend has a old old plan that verizon grandfathered in from some company they bought out long ago. He's had the same plan forever. Yet he seems to sign new two year contracts just fine.

All of this is being done because of the new iphone coming out, which will suck the network dry. Verizon expects lte speeds to grab users from at&t.
[Thunderbolt General] Turb0wned:
Your grandfathered to unlimited why go to ATT and pay $25 for 2gb?
[Thunderbolt General] gqgk:
Because it's through work. And they're plans for business are worse than those that AT&T has. And Verizon is heading down a sorry road of they continue to do things like this.
[Thunderbolt General] ScottIsMyName:
So because Verizon is now going the route ATT has already gone, you are going to switch back to ATT?

Don't get me wrong, I am not a fan of this supposed new data plan system but your logic makes no sense to me.

[HD2 Accessories] donwhann:
hey guys, i've recently started a new job which involves a lot of driving, listening to the radio all the time gets quiet dull so my question is.....is there a way to listen to music stored on my phone through the car stereo at all....?. please tell me theres a way.....

cheers.
[HD2 Accessories] arkatis:
Hey mate! Yes there is a way to play music to your radio; if your radio supports "AUX" or "Bluetooth".

A cheap way though is this:

You need this to plug in your HD2 with the radio:

It's a cord that has 3,5mm Jack on both sides.

A radio with AUX support:

There are some cheap Branded or Chinese radios that support this feature.

I personally have a JVC with "Aux" feature in my VW.:D

If your radio don't have "AUX" support then i am out of ideas! :confused::rolleyes:
[HD2 Accessories] xaccers:
Firstly, congrats on the new job :)

If the job involves lots of driving like mine does, then chances are the company will pay for a bluetooth hands free kit, as if they expect you to talk while on the road they cannot expect you to always pull over, and certainly can't expect you to drive whilst holding the phone (£60 fine and 3 points doesn't go down well).

I've got a Jabra SP700 which is great, clips to the sun visor, uses the same USB connector as the HD2 to charge, and has a built in FM transmitter.

People hear me clearly, and they sound loud and clear to me.

Has a long battery life in use and on standby.

When someone calls it reads out the phone number, but other models will actually transmit the number using RDS so you'll get it up on the head unit.
[HD2 Accessories] arkatis:
Dude he want's to listen music from his HD2 on the car radio.

He don't need any Jabra stuff! lol :D
[HD2 Accessories] xaccers:
It's an option, and a bloody good one as driving in the UK whilst using your phone without handsfree can lead you to 3 points on your licence (increases your insurance premium in many cases) and a £60 fine. Plus many head units don't have an aux in, so FM transmitter is the only way.

Many businesses need drivers with clean licences for their corporate insurance so points can mean unemployment.

That's another important point (not normally an issue if the company provides the car and insurance), make sure you have business use on your insurance, most come with social/domestic/commuting to your usual place of work, and will add business use for no extra charge (or just an admin fee).

Here's a decent purchase for £11 if you're going to be driving a lot with the HD2. Windscreen mount that doesn't wobble, screen protectors, rubber bump cases (clear and black), stylus, charger, leather case.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310314688415
[HD2 Accessories] arkatis:
Great choice dude! :cool:
[HD2 Accessories] xaccers:
That spring loaded 3.5mm jack you posted definitely would be perfect where the head's got an aux socket.
[HD2 Accessories] AmigaBob:
Getting audio to your car

If your car stereo doesn't have Aux inputs or Bluetooth there are still a few ways to get audio from your phone.

1. A portable FM wireless transmitter (Quality isn't that great)

2. You can get an adapter box that plugs into the antenna jack on the back of your stereo and transmits the audio as a FM signal. Most automotive stores seem to have fairly cheap ones and they are better quality than the wireless FM transmitter. I've one in my Echo that i picked up for only $15 Australian.

3. You can get an adapter that plugs into the CD input port on the back of many stereos and then your phone shows up as a 'CD player'. I used to have one in my old car from GROM (gromaudio.com). It worked very well as an Aux input. They now have more models but they seem to have better intergration with iPhones :(
[HD2 Accessories] Emschertal:
I would also like to try it with the "double aux port" :)

So i need to run my music app and the music is directly available over my radio? o0
[HD2 Accessories] thebranded:
If your car HU has USB support, then make sure your HD2 loads USB mass storgae when it detects a usb cable. Then you can use your HU to change folders/tracks and not touch the HD2 at all.
[HD2 Accessories] donwhann:
thanks for all the replys guys but it looks like im screwed. the stereo has no aux and im not too sure the company would be too happy for me to start ripping it out to add things in the back of it......gutted. i might have to go down the fm jabra or whatever it is route, how bad can i expect the sound to be...?. i've seen this but dunno....any thoughts..?
