Verizon charges me close to two hundred a month with no data package. With data I would be paying another mortgage. I am waiting for my kids to be off contract to move my carrier.

I do like Verizon customer service and I think their network is awesome in comparison to their competitors. However they charge way too much. In fact I think they are starting to price themselves out of the market. I need a new phone, I want the droid but refuse to pay the extra $30 in addition to the family plan and extra money every month we have to pay for texting. I hope they get more competitive soon or they will loose another family fast. In today's economy they need to be smarter about their pricing strategy I agree, it is really frustrating.

I have complained to Verizon that there should be a family set amount for the unlimited data packages for people on a family line package. We have 5 lines on our family package. I agree with you.

I've been wanting the Blackberry Bold or the LG Ally but with the required $30 per month, I can't. I think you should be able to choose if you want to pay $30 a month for data or not.

I thought it was just $30 for mobile Internet for both of us. This is ridiculous and I think VZW should create a family Internet plan of say, $40 for 2 phones. $10 per extra line.. that makes sense to me. Not $30 per phone.

AT&T had family data plan. VZW doesnt. I am not going to pay $30.00 per month for wife to have a blackberry, when she doesn't want the data plan. She just wants a good phone for texting and keeping her calendar and contacts. Now VZW is requiring data packages for kid texting phones like the EnV. It's like they just gave themselves a $30.00 per month raise for every line, because the phones that don't require data packages are pieces of crap that are technologically equivalent to 2004 phones.
