Grand Fathered 4G?

[swc2001]

So I was told by two different Verizon sources that if you have the unlimited Data plan for 3g you and you go to a 4g phone you will have unlimited 4g data. Is this true?

Yes! That's what I did.

Same here. Tiered data seems irrelevant if you have 4G >.>.

That's what I did in September. Is it still being offered that way?

It varies - there are success stories as of as late as 2 weeks ago whereby a person upgraded a feature phone to a smart phone and was offered unlimited data. I'm still not 100% sure if this is true or not, but I don't see any reason for that person to lie, sooooooo....

EDIT: Answering the above question correctly this time

Yes, being grandfathered still applies to now, and will continue to apply until the last contracts that were started on July6 2011 come to pass - after that, well, who knows?

I just bought a new Bionic last week through amazon. Just got it a couple of days ago and activated it with verizon and had no problems with keeping my unlimited plan. Just checked today to ake sure everything was still in effect and it is. Go for it. I love this phone and it is working as avertised. Pintile screen is a non issue.

I wish I had more thanks to give.

Just bought a Bionic tonight, kept my unlimited data plan from my X. I confirmed this before pulling the trigger.

I had unlimited Data on my BB Storm 2 And the wife's BB Bold, and took the special Leap Day offer from VZW, and got a Bionic (FREE) for me and a HTC for my wife. No problems with order, and data plan was switched from BB Unlimited Data to Android Unlimited Data Plan on both phones.
