once your phones are "out of contract" you can upgrade to the 10gb plan and get $25 discount per line that is out of contract. Basically the same deal as AT&T. The problem is that not all Verizon employees are well versed on this. They try and tell you that you have to purchase an "Edge" phone to get the discount, which is not true. A directive was issued April 14 (I believe this is the correct date)of this year which says that "out of contract" or "bring your own phone" lines also get the discount.

I have found that you have to make them look for the directive with the date to make them admit it.

So, you can greatly decrease your bill and stay with Verizon as long as you don't upgrade your phones.

this info is gold if true....

what should one ask the rep for?..."edge"?

I don't think that's technically it - "Edge" would pick up with a new purchase - the 'early upgrade' path - and your cost is essentially the same, the $25 is offset by paying $20 to $25 for the phone.

However, they figured out they were screwing their existing customers so, rather than wait to make you upgrade the phone, they give existing customers with no contracts the $25 off to keep them from jumping ship to AT&T.

But "Edge" as a code word probably gets you there.

The keys to this are 10gb (versus 8gb or less) nets you $25 discount per $40 line. Put another way, even 2 lines is fairly cost effective, $100 for 10gb, and $15 x 2 would only be $130. I think that 4gb is $70, and $30 x 2 (8gb and less is only $10 discount per line) - would be $130.

Who would pay the same for 4gb as they would for 10gb?
