Verizon made it so if you have the grandfathered unlimited data plan and you wanted the subsidized price of the apple phone, they will not let you keep the grandfatherd unlimited plan . I think they did this because all carriers don't make much of anything off selling iPhones, so by making you change your unlimted plan they will make money on changing your plan ,by prorating the bill, and also since you will now be on the phone more, using more data you'll be more likely to go over. so now they will be able to charge overages if you go with a small data plans and if you'll want to change to a larger plan they will make $20 more then the old $30 unlimited old plan ...

Verizon is basically not honoring grandfathered unlimited data. I just happened to find a loop hole so they are letting me keep it. Typically you have to buy the phone at full price in order to keep your grandfathered unlimited plan for iPhone 5 for Verizon. I heard AT&T decided to keep the grandfathered data in order to keep customers. I honestly was thinking of going to sprint but AT&T and t mobile don't get good reception at my house. Verizon has been the best so far.

I don't see anything wrong with the iphone, but if you already have a 4/4s I don't see the big reason why you would want an iPhone 5 when it is really not that much improved over the previous versions (for the poster that said you already have a 4 I know what you mean). If you are starting out on your first smart phone then yes..the newest iPhone would be good, but from a 4/4s..well..I think you just need to buy something..much like my wife who thinks $4k purses need to be bought every Christmas for herself.

Iphone users will want to upgrade to Iphone 5 just for 4G/LTE support. It's a huge difference in speed. But I do agree with your logic and honestly, the 4s SHOULD have came with 4G/LTE support.
