Please Help Me Sort This Out ("Unlimited" question)

[Jomero]

I have been trying to find a straight answer to this question, but I am finding conflicting responses everywhere.

Here is my sitiuation: I have been on a 3G unlimited data plan (with a 3G phone) for a couple years (so I am grandfathered in). However, my "upgrade" became available last month and I have been personally waiting for the Galaxy Nexus to arrive before using it.

What will happen to my unlimited plan if I upgrade to this phone? This where answers seem to get murky.

Some say nothing will happen. Some say something will happen.

My concern is this: If my unlimited plan is 3G, does that mean if I want to use the 4G capability of the phone I have to accept their tiered plan?

Please help me sort this out. I don't want to get bamboozled or forced into a plan I don't need to be.

Thanks in advance!

Nothing happens. You get unlimited 4g.

Nothing happens. You get unlimited 4g.

If that is the case, I thank you very much for the concise and quick reply!

That is my understanding as well. Customers are grandfathered in indefinitely (as of now), and you aren't forced to downgrade from an unlimited plan. I suspect that after a year or two of this, they'll quietly changed the policy so that everyone has to switch. Until then, you should be safe.
