My Alltel switch to Verizon

No way you can't get 2 lines of unlimited voice & 5GB data at $89/mo total.

Until recently (AFAIK) one line of unlimited voice alone was $99/mo,
and add the data on top of that for a total of about $129+ per line per month.
Multiple lines multiply what you'll be paying.

Actually $172/mo for 2 lines with voice & 3G data is somewhat of a good deal for what you are getting.
If this was last year that would probably cost over $300/mo.

 

Sadly yes. I can believe it. The biggest error on the part of the store rep was the single $30 date charge, as with Blackberry's and other smartphones, the charge is always per line.

I'm guessing you got the Family (2 lines) 1400 Minutes/5 Friends & Family plan for $89.99, and with $60 for data on 2 lines, which equals $150.00 plus taxes

Not to defend Verizon, but misleading information happens with ALL carriers. But when it happens with Verizon or AT&T, it ends up being expensive.

He didn't get the unlimited plan, likely the 1400 Family plan for $89.99.

 

If you did this in the store you signed something for the purchase, for each phone line. Each one would have listed the $30 data feature. I deal with this every day so all I can say is look closely at what you are signing!
