I currently have the Americas choice plan and am up for 'new every two.' I have been looking at the Chocolate 3 but would have to change to the Nationwide plan (Basic). Price of both plans woud be the same but here is the catch. I use the "Get Going" in Get it Now s lot to look up address and phone numbers. With the Nationwide plan, it would cost $1.99 per megabite or $15.00 month unlimited. The Verizon rep said it could use quite a lot of megabits if used often in a month. With the Americas choice it uses minutes, but I never run over so it doesn't matter to me. I told the Verizon rep that it was a bit of subtle arm twisting by Verizon. (and she agreed!)Get a new phone only if you change plans and pay extra for services that I already get for nothing. Has anyone else run into this? AHs Verizon done anything to assist? I have been with them a long time, over 10 years but an considering changing.

I'm in the same place. A couple of the phones I like for the upgrade would require me to switch from Americas choice to Nationwide. Same monthly fee I'm paying now but I now get unlimited text messaging, with the Nationwide plan I pay per message. That's not arm twisting, that's a rip-off. I may just keep my current phone/plan or 'upgrade' by switching to AT&T.

I thought about switching t oAT& T also. I am in Indiana and travel the state. I checked tha AT&T coverage map and it is no where close to Verizon, or I would be there signing up

Got new Glyde phone, same plan but offered VCast, took it for the 15-day free trail BAM changed my contract, locked in for another 2yrs. I was going to cuss him out but thought about it. I have no plans of leaving Verizon anyway.

unfortunately some of the newer models of phones are only capable of being used on a nationwide plan. as far as the data goes, verizon as far as i know is the only carrier who still bills data as minutes at all. the switch is more in line with the industry standard of billing per megabyte. for some people that works out way better, for others it doesnt. there are still phones that you can upgrade to without changing your plan; unfortunately, that model is not one that is compatable with the americas choice plan.
