Verizon adds $20 to your unlimited data plan.....

Hello and welcome to another installment of...

I'm glad you came back. now lets talk about Big Red for a few minutes 

Verizon recently announced that they will implement a $20 increase on customers with the "grandfathered" unlimited data plan. 

Details on why are still being researched but, rumor has it that this move will allow their customers to upgrade safely without losing their unlimited data in the process. 

which means, that with a small down payment and sequential monthly payments (with that additional $20) Verizon customers can hold on to that data for just a little while longer.

Now, listen. I dont know if this will bring back the unlimited data option, because apparently there are alot of people who have managed to hold on to this grandfathered data. With this development, it might be in Verizon's best interest to reintroduce unlimited data as an option, but for an extra $20, throttling data after 22GB of use (allegedly).

Nevertheless, Verizon is the only company that still offers reliable (even if grandfathered) unlimited data that actually reaches the places that it claims to. Unlike other companies that make the same claim....*cough* (Sprint) *cough*..... XD

only time will tell us exactly how long this will last..

Apple Speaks Death to Subsidies, AT&T and Verizon agree?

hello and welcome back to another installment of.....

We've made it to Season 5! 

We are so excited for the things to come! The technology is ever advancing and we are here to report it all! We know its been a while since we last reported, but we have been busy!

So! on to the news!

Rumor ( from reliable sources) has it, that Apple is seeking to end their subsidies policy with their smartphones soon. What does that mean...

Let us put it to you this way,

normally, when visiting a retail store such as AT&T or Verizon, and you are seeking to purchase a phone. you are offered two options, either purchase the device under a 2 year contract price for say, $299, or choose a installment plan (like AT&T Next or Verizon EDGE). Apple however is seeking to rid us of the former. 

and for once, we completely understand why.

Normally when purchasing devices by subsidy, it leaves the manufacturer at a profit loss, due to the phone either being sold or traded in before all profit that can be made through services is collected. 

    

Our founders iPhone 6 Plus (128gb) model is just at $1000 from the manufacturer, imagine if he paid only $399 for the same device and in one year traded it in for a highly anticipated Note 5, Apple , through many other  channels and avenues has just lost a profit from him of at least $600 bucks..*exaggerated example*

with these subsidies gone, you would have to purchase all apple devices through a carriers monthly installment plan, which makes the company back almost twice as much as it costs to make individual devices..

However, Apple has always treated customers this way, so it can be stated that this is their "character" as a business. Removing options like this and forcing customers to lease an iPhone, especially when said customer simply may not want to, is in our opinion completely unacceptable. 

then again, its just a rumor. Neither Apple, AT&T or Verizon has confirmed this as of yet, and it is our hope that they will not!

If this is true....What would you do? Leave us A comment either on this blog, or our Facebook page!
