Fyi...no need to buy a 4g phone before july 7th

Hey guys, I just spoke with my brother who took his webinar training w/Verizon on the tiered data plan changes. He knew I was looking for wording about existing customers going from 3G to 4G. He confirmed with me that in his webinar, that it did specifically say that existing 3G customers that purchase a 4G phone AFTER July 7th, would still be grandfathered in on the unlimited data packages.

So no need to rush out on the 6th (like I was going to do) to purchase either the Thunderbolt, Revolution, or Charge. We can now wait on the Bionic.

I did ask him to send me a screenshot for proof to everyone on the boards, but he told me no because he's chicken S#%t and scared to do that kind of thing. So, we'll have to take my brother's street creds on this one.

He also wanted to tell me a data fact pointed out in his training: that said 96% of 3G customers use less than 2GB of data...and that 91% of 4G customers are using less than 2GB of data.

Yeah, this is great news. I have recently heard this confirmed by a verizon store manager.

No surprise there. I was actually shocked to find out awhile back that I was hard pressed to hit 1GB per month when I looked at a few months worth of usage.

I was talking with a customer service rep today (with caveat that they aren't usually all that knowledgeable) but he confirmed that if you currently have an unlimited data plan, this will include the 4G (LTE) phones. Who knows maybe tiered data plans won't be the disaster I've feared.
