How long will unlimited "in network"continue

[george]

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

My contract ("new every 2" & service) is up in August. A few of my friends
renewed their contract and now have the unlimited "in network". Is it a
promo and anyone have info if it will be available in a few months?

Actually I don't think you have to renew your contract to get unlimitted "in
network." Just call customer service and ask them. But I added it to one of
my phones a couple months ago without extending my contract at all. Just be
sure to confirm that they aren't extending your contract, because sometimes
they extend it without telling you. I changed my AC to AC Family Share a
month ago and they extended my contract another year. After noticing that on
my bill, I called them back and they changed the contract end date back, no
problem.

My market requires you to sign a new contract. In my market (North East),
it seems they push contract extensions as hard as they can. Must be a
commission to extend a customer's "lock in".

Note, "In" doesn't play that well with the family plan for some folks.
Extra family phones only get to call each other. If you want full "In"
privileges for "family" phones, it's $10/month/line more!

Actually, it's $10/month additional. Of course, if you only have 2 phones
on the share plan then it's /line also.

It did not appear to be a promo to me (it is on AC Family Share and on
the primary line with AC Family Share Promo). You are aware that it is
only mobile to mobile, right?

The rep I talked to said $10/month extra per additional phone (I shouldn't
have used "line" for wireless;-). I have no reason to believe any
particular Verizon REP dispenses correct data. Thus, you might very well
be correct.

My buddy has four phones on his plan and just upgraded. The unlimited "in
network" applies to his phone and he pays $10/month total for the three
additional phones.

gerry, the info that I have comes from the verizonwireless web page on
family share plans:
"Get plans with IN-Network Calling on additional lines for $10 monthly
access per <account> ..."
so this would be good for a family share plan with several lines, but may
not be so good for one with only 2 shared phones.

I talked to VZW yesterday on this exact question. The response I received
(and I asked again to be clear) is that it's $10/month for the account, not
$10/month/line.... of course, I was required to talk with a number of VZW
rep's because not one of them had all the answers... that would be too easy.

As such, it's not a particular improvement for those who have older
family share plans that include 1000 M2M shared among the lines at no
additional charge. (Unless you really find a way to use more than 1000
a month...)

As I recall, that 1000 minutes was for the *primary* line only... The
secondary lines had 250 each... and *that* number isn't hard to reach at
all.

Correct except the 250 minutes were to ANY VZW customer, not just a family
member.
