No slowdowns after 22GB of usage and phone upgrades.
Unlimited HotSpot?

Unlimited HotSpot?
Well the old plan didn't allow hotspot, but worked unlimited via unlimited data.
The new plan allows 10GB of 4G hotspot before it slows to 3G, though I could use FoxFi for up to 22GB of 4G regular data usage (and potentially slowed after 22GB).
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

can anyone give feedback if they get throttled or not? right now i have 30 gig for 2 phones so 22 gig 4g is not bad actually.

I saw verizon has promo giving $200 visa go for bringing iPhone 6 or 6s from other carrier. Can I sign up with page plus for a month and then transfer over? Do alll lines need to exist on PP to qualify?

To get the -$10 fir autopay from checking account, can you have each line paid with different checking account?

didn't see this mentioned anywhere, but needs to be a gsm compatible phone (a sim card) to work in canada.
which means for the few left, dumb phones on verizon wont work in canada, unless u call and pay more (don't know what).

Added my CC to get 5x earning and $10 discount. But got this letter:

Applies to account number ending in: ----
We hope you’re enjoying your new Verizon unlimited data plan and taking full advantage of benefits like HD video streaming and Mobile Hotspot.
You’re currently receiving a $10 monthly discount for enrollment in Auto Pay with paperless billing, and using a credit card to pay your bill. Consistent with the terms of the Verizon unlimited plan when you enrolled, and to make sure you don’t lose your discount, please change your Auto Pay method of payment to either a debit card or bank account.
Changing your Auto Pay payment method is easy. Just log in to My Verizon or use the My Verizon app. Click on “My Billing” > “Auto Pay” > “Manage Auto Pay,” and enter your new debit card or bank account information. Please be sure to make this change by May 15, 2017, or your discount will be removed within 1–2 bill cycles.
Thank you for your loyalty. We know that you have a choice in wireless, and truly appreciate that you've chosen Verizon.

Any way to be able to pay by CC and still get $10 discount?

Pay manually by CC before due date, leave checking account on file.

will they give me problems if every month I'm paying balance with 4 different CCs before the amount is charged to my checking account?

Anyone have a clue how long the $200 GC for bringing iPhone 6 or higher will last?

so...

My father asked for my help in changing over his old grandfathered in account to a new unlimited plan.

His account currently looks like this -

Line 1: Smartphone (grandfathered in unlimited data)
Line 2: Smartphone
Line 3: DumbPhone
Line 4: DumbPhone

All the lines have upgrades on them.


Should I,

A. Just switch over to the new plan
B: "Utilize" all the upgrades for new smartphones, than switch over.


Thanks!

What exactly do you mean by "phone upgrades"?  monthly payments/retail pricing or old subsidized upgrade?
Also, why should upgrading impact throttling?

How much does it cost to add a MiFi device to the new unlimited plan (does it depend in the number of devices on the plan?)? And how data does it get?
