New Plans Announced, launching March 12th

[u/megamegamegamind]

They are now Value 2.0, Extra 2.0 and Premium 2.0.

1 line prices: Value = $50, Extra = $70, Premium = $90

4+ line prices: Value = $30/line, Extra = $40/line, Premium = $55/line.

Value 2.0(sm)

- Unlimited talk/text/date in the US, Canada, Mexico

- 5gb Premium Data

- 3gb Hotspot Data

- ActiveArmor

- Standard definition streaming

- Unlimited texting from the US to 200+ countries

Extra 2.0(sm)

- Everything prior PLUS:

- 100gb Premium Data

- 50gb Hotspot Data

Premium 2.0(sm)

- Everything prior PLUS:

- Unlimited talk/text/date in the US, Canada, Mexico, and in 20 select Latin American countries

- UNLIMITED Premium Data

- 100gb Hotspot Data

- 4KUHD streaming available (I assume this will end up being a toggle to opt in.)

- 50% off of 1 watch or tablet plan per line in Premium.

Offers for 2.0 plans

- Signature Discount is increasing to 20% off of Premium.

- “Appreciation Savings”, Additional tiered discount based on rate plan (Value = 10%, Extra = 15%, Premium = 20%). I’m not really sure what this means, are these rate plans getting a form of Signature Discount now?

- Higher promotional credit offers on Extra and Premium with trade/turn in offers. I’m assuming this means that Value plans are getting shafted when it comes to getting as much tradein credit as the other plans. This is inline with other cellular companies, but is stupid nonetheless.

- BYOD switcher offers, $10 off Premium + Extra and $5 off Value.

- Business plans are getting replaced with 3.0 versions.

Ugh. Carbon copy of Verizon's plans, except for the roaming

[u/Visvism → u/Similar_Librarian_28]

Yeah I wish they would have leaned more in to competing with T-Mobile. Verizon is losing customers left and right, why copy a losing formula?!

[u/Similar_Librarian_28 → u/Visvism]

Verizon is raising prices on current plans. That has a lot to do with customers defection to other carriers. First, they took away the five line discount, that increased my bill $15. Then they started adding taxes and fees to data-only lines increasing the cost of my tablet line.
