Doubt it. Strongly doubt it. I think you'll have to do one of three things:

Yeah. What fuckers. They signed a two year contact with you ten years ago and how the fuck dare they treat that two-year contract as anything less than eternity.

Well if you don't sign a non-subsidized two-year agreement to keep your plan, you're not just going to get to have an unlimited monthly plan. You'll have hree choices:

No, there really are people that abuse it. I used to suck down 60GB/month through my phone. Seriously. That's abuse, for sure.

They're still letting you keep the plan. They're not forcing anybody out of anything.

I don't know if that constitutes any sort of binding contract. Basically, Verizon is making a special concession to long-time customers, but that doesn't force them to do it forever. They're dropping a legacy service, just like how Microsoft's dropping support for XP. They kept it going longer than they would have…

Every single one. I trim that shit all the time to keep it manageable and real. I believe I'm at 50ish now, and that's all I really care to have. Hell, I don't even regularly see/communicate with half of them anyway.

Plus I believe it adds 1-2GB onto the pool as well. Shared plans make a lot of sense, and think this is, overall, a smart move. A very tiny portion of Verizon's users will cry and moan and the rest will either be unaffected or will benefit.

Which would fail hard. Everybody signed two-year contracts for their data plans, and Verizon never promised them that the contract would last more than two years. Why does nobody understand that? Just because you'll be sad when your two-year agreement doesn't last forever doesn't mean anybody has to give a shit.

Unless they raise the price of unlimited. There's nothing stopping that.

I've said it on every article you've published like this and I'll say it again:

You take it off.

Answer: You take it off.

What about charger and headphone ports?

I have a feeling this is going to be everybody, including off-contract users. If there's no contract, there's nothing binding them to that plan.

Should yeah.

You know when you signed that first contract with ATT for two years of unlimited data to subsidize your phone? There was no clause in there saying that they have to renew it ever again if they don't want to. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, short of general goodwill and not wanting to upset people that's…

Hasn't sprint moved to grandfathered-only-unlimited too? If so, there's not necessarily any benefit to switching. Let the coverage/speed/devices be the decider, not just that Verizon's ending unlimited.

Verizon sold a product on a 2 year contract, with no promise that the contract would be valid for any longer than two years. That's what contract means.

Hmm. If your risk of X is 10%, 300% of that risk would be 30%? I dunno.
