Seriously considering switching carriers from Sprint to Verizon. I checked my data usage at Sprint... WTF? I barely do 1 GB/month!

Posted by Mop (aka Rburriel) Mar 31 '16, 10:20

I know that the "unlimited" plan at Sprint was always more "piece of mind" than an absolute necessity but... DAMN... 1 GB? That's nothing.

Responses:

I keep our Sprint unlimited as a just in case. We don't use much, but I'd rather have it than not. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 31, 10:30 1
- us too but I'm seriously considering moving due to the $ 70 per phone price tag when all others seem to be $ 40 ish -- nm - Epiphany Mar 31, 10:43
I've got 3gb with Verizon across 2 lines. They only time I've come even close to 2gb (let alone 3) was when I accidentally turned off wifi for a couple of days -- (edited) - decline Mar 31, 10:22 10
- Amy and I have 2 between us. We have only broke that twice. Both times included travel/nights away from wifi. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 10:23 9
  - What happens when you exceed it? Do you pay a per/byte charge? Any warnings on the phone or via e-mail? -- nm - Mop Mar 31, 10:24 8
    - My phone gets push notifictaions, plus I have a meter on it that I can see it heppening. We get billed an extra $10 for an extra GB. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 10:28
    - I got a warning text last night that I was at 75% of my data usage. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 31, 10:28
    - Verizon charges you $20 [$15, actually-edit] per gig when you go over. -- nm* - Ender Mar 31, 10:27 4
      - Only $10 for us. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 10:29 3
        
        Doublechecked and it's actually $15, at least on their new "Verizon Plan". I think it was 10 for me too until I upgraded my plan a few weeks back. -- nm - Ender Mar 31, 10:34 1
        
        That makes sense. We have been in ours for quite some time. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 10:38
        
        Plus, the last time it happened they did even bill us for it. - Spawn Mar 31, 10:32
    - verizon warns you via email. Android also has a thing in settings to set limits and warnings -- nm - decline Mar 31, 10:26
