Verizon

They've started being just a little shady, they remove their $50 bonus for renewing a smartphone plan, they remove their upgrade discounts, and they just removed their unlimited data plans.
It is just business, sure, and profit-driven is the name of the game, I just hate when companies that are offering something good remove it.
Sprint is now the only national carrier that offers unlimited data. I can't say that I think that's anything less than a raping. Whatever, though, I use Sprint and am happy, but just wanted to bring it to attention of anyone who may be going there for an iPhone.

Probably happened because most of the other carriers did away with it and there was no rush to other carriers. Expect Sprint to remove too.

I seriously doubt it since they have been advertising like crazy that they are the only carrier to offer truly unlimited data for awhile now. (verizon had a 5gb cap on "unlimited" plan) Plus sprint cant afford to bleed any customers over, so they have to continue offering the best plans for less money than the other companies.

You're welcome.
Yep, we have a lot of users here and I'd like to bring knowledge to them, just like any other thread posted here. I'm not here to make everyone agree with me or feel like I am smarter than anyone else, I am here to hang out and be a member of the community (which I have been a lot longer than you, young'n).
You don't like it, ignore me. Do you own stock in Verizon? Does it bunch your panties that I pointed it out? You're still huffy at me because I pointed out that Auburn bought a player and then won the title on a bunch of botched calls? LOL Follow me, gripe all you want about whatever I do, I'm not going to give a crap because you're ignored as of now.
You're a non-productive idiot who thinks if you didn't say something, it's crap, well, I ain't your wife or some other kid you bully, I am not listening to it.

I hope so, I think it's horrible that AT&T didn't have an unlimited plan for the iPhone, seemed kind of weird.

Ya no its not, they can call it whatever the hell they want to but if you go over 5gb a month they can and will bill you for it, if you do it repeatedly they will cancel your contract. Trust me I know of at least 3 people personally that have had it happen to them.

AT&T did offer unlimited data. They stopped sometime last year. People that had unlimited data plans were grandfathered in. As long as they don't change or cancel their plan they will have unlimited data. However, all new customers are limited.

Shame on Ford too, for offering rebates and incentives and then taking them back.
(Same thing, isn't it?) Business is business.

I've been using Verizon for 10 years, 4 with unlimited data.

Never been charged a dime over my contract price.
