I am in the same position here, been a loyal customer(started with alltell,then verizon bought them out) for over 10 years with several phones.


I have been so close to coming in for a new phone since part of my screen don't work, but just for the principle of the matter, i won't do it.


Here is a sprint ad directly targeting this "shared data" tactic...So i hope eventually Verizon will forget it.


The way I under stand it, Verizon needs to sell more of these shared data plans in order to be able to expand their 4G backbone.  At one time i was thinking i would just do it and help them build their backbone, but i have not got it done yet!


Dare to Compare


P.S. Verizon is the only carrier in my area, i tried the nearby us cellular but it just could not provide coverage into all of my area.
