Family Share deal

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

If you are on a family share plan, there is a deal going on that adds 100
minutes to your account every month at no extra cost except starting your
contract over again. You can call *611 and do it over the phone in a few
minutes. The deal is only going on until January 16

Thanks for posting this...

I called just now with my questions. 2 lines, line #1 is on a 2 year
contract. Line #2 on a 1 year.
They said all I need to do (minimum) is extend the lines 1 year. This also
does not adversely
effect my new every 2 date (which the Verizon CS person tells me is
separate).

Anyway, I signed up for the deal for the 1 year. My only concern is folks
that are losing
their included data option. Anyway, hope it works out OK.

-Dan

PS: I figure I've been a happy customer for 4 years or so, and this makes me
less worried I'll have buyers remorse later on.

I just called and asked about the 100 minutes you say will be added every
month.
I was told that the 100 minutes were a one time add on, just until they are
used up. And only to be used by the "primary line" in the Family share plan.
So, I did not add a line as I had planned to do.

Thanks Dan,
I did call back this morning and talked to an informed CSR. She agreed with
what you said. I closed my SRN plan that I have had for more than 4 years
and added the phone to my Americas Choice plan as a share line. With the 100
bonus minutes, I only give up 50 total minutes that I had before. I do not
need SRN anymore.
They also said that since I didn't upgrade phones at this time that I can
upgrade at any future date. I think that when I do that it will extend the
contract.
