In the new (August) rate plans, ALL phones in a family share group
have unlimited IN Calling, not just among phones in the group for the
non-primary phones. There used to be a $10/group charge to "upgrade"
the non-primary phones to full IN Calling, but that charge has been
dropped. When I called to update my account, the CSR pointed this out,
and when I checked the WEB page, it shows it likewise. And no, they didn't
just raise the price $10 and add in the feature; the prices are the same
as the old restricted IN-Calling plan (e.g., 400 minutes for $39.95/mo +
$20.00/additional phone).

And when I asked about NewEveryTwo, they simply looked at when I had
purchased the phone and verified that I was on an "expensive" enough
rate plan to determine eligibility. Completely changing rate plans (e.g.,
NSR to AC) and renewing the contract period was not a factor.

This may just be a promotion, and my info is only for the San Francisco
Bay Area, YMMV.

I noticed this in the VerizonWireless ad in today's local paper. I called
CS and the rep said that the $10 extra fee had been dropped for a "back to
school" promotion. Changing to this promotion would cause your contract to
be extended. However, my daughter called to have her and her husband's
family share plan changed to include this promotion. The rep told her that
since they had only been customers since June, there would be no contract
extension. Not sure if this is one of those things the rep might have
authority to do or not do. Anyway, no mention of how long this promotion
might last.

In Atlanta only the 400 and 2000 minute plans have "Unlimited IN Calling ALL
LINES" the other plans have unlimited only on Line 1.....strange....

It might be a policy. With Sprint, taking promos that normally result in
contract extensions DON'T extend your contract if you take them during the
first three months of said contract... perhaps Verizon has adopted a similar
policy.

I got a letter from Verizon this week saying that I wouldn't see the $10
monthly charge on my account anymore, effective on September's bill. I
didn't even have to ask! My family plan is in RI. No contract extension
mentioned.

I just helped my sister in Maryland change her plan such that her two
children no longer have to pay an additional $10 each for unlimited M2M.
The CSR was insistent that since her existing $99 plan for 1500 minutes now
provides 2000 minutes, her contract WILL be extended. The cost will be the
same ($99, but now for 2000 minutes), minus $20 ($10 x 2-children).

Hi all:
Does anyone know if this promotion is in NYC area? I'm planning in going to
get VZW on Saturday and get a family plan. Also, any input in which phone
is best would be greatly appreciated, nothing fancy no camera if possible, I
have one and never used it. I'm currently with T-mobile and want to switch.
TIA
Patty

This promotion is now available in the NYC area. As to phones, while I
don't use one, the Nokia 3589 has had excellent comments from users.
The LG 3200 and Samsung 650 do not have cameras and have received good
reviews in the forums.

Hope this helps
