Verizon Has Made My Head—And Likely YOUR Wallet—Hurt. A LOT

Your phone calls just became free. So did your text messages. Sounds great, right?

Guess again. If you’re a Verizon Wireless customer, your prices, under the guise of Verizon Wireless making plans that are theoretically less expensive, just went up. WAY up. If we hadn’t already christened The Verizon Wireless Customer Service Wall of Shame for them, this sleight of hand would have been enough to earn Big Red that honor.

Watch Movies? Like Music? Run a Server? Get Ready to Pay.

The all-you-can-eat train is coming to the end of its tracks.

Every now and then I come across someone who’s still paying by the minute to make phone calls. If you’re very young you might not even know that paying for each call you make was once a possibility, but until 1984 it was the only way phone calls outside your immediate area were sold and until the mid 1990s it was still pretty much the standard way things were done.

Data? It’s free. Bandwidth is unlimited, all-you-can-eat. Right? Not any more.

Verizon Wireless “Unlimited Access” Data Plan

C’mon, guys . . .

Yeah, the wording of their agreement gives the “the right” to terminate you at any time. But what they’re really trying to do is stop you from running a server using your PDA or wireless card as a pass-through. Kinda like your ISP limiting your bandwidth.
