Verizon to add $20 to Grandfathered Unlimited Data Plans

iphone texting smartphoneIf you’re still clinging to your Verizon unlimited cell phone plan, your monthly bill is about to jump by $20.

Verizon (VZ, Tech30) is planning to raise the price of unlimited data plans from $29.99 to $49.99 per month. The company confirmed the move to CNNMoney on Thursday morning.

It’s yet another sign the company’s trying to force people to let go of their highly-prized plans that remain only because they were grandfathered in.

The unlimited data is only part of a cell phone bill. Talking and texting are extra. Right now if you’re on Verizon’s 450 plan, that costs $59.99 per month. Add the new higher rate for unlimited data, the total monthly cost will look more like $109.99, plus fees.

Verizon customers will see the increase starting on monthly bills that arrive on Nov. 15 or later. Read more on CNN.

  1. You would have to be a fool to get rid of it. Even for 100+ it’s worth it. In fact if anyone wants to give theirs up I would be more than happy to take it over.
