Verizon Ch ch ch Changes

Verizon trashed nearly all of their phone plans and will switch to, what they're now calling, the "Share Everything" plan. Under the new plan, you'll get unlimited phone and texting for one smartphone, but they'll cap your data at 1 gigabyte. The new system now allows you to add other devices, like tablets or a USB data stick for your laptop. What will this mean for you? Depends how much data you end up using on your smartphone. For most, a gig or two should be fine...unless you love streaming your music or movies, then you'll need a bigger plan.
