More. not "a lot" more. $10 difference. I pay around $78 a month including taxes for my unlimited plan(450 voice minutes and unlimited text and data) with my Verizon 4G LTE phone(ReZound). My billing month is only half over and I've already used 8GB. So if I end up using 16GB this month what would that cost me with a shared data plan? I seriously doubt it would only be $10 more that the $78 I currently pay. |

Verizon stopped offering unlimited data in early July 2011 and not everyone before then had it either. I didn't and I got a smartphone in Nov 2010. I wasn't paying $30 for a data plan even if it was unlimited so I hopped on a deal where I got 150 MB for $15 a month. |

*snort* I should say not!
10GB of data is $100/mo. Another 6GB/mo. would be an additional $30/mo. if you paid for it in advance. It's $15/GB for overages. *ouch*! So $40 + $130 = $170/mo. + taxes & surcharges.
That's a lot of data, btw. A lot...

Jim if you feel like you will go over you can just add the extra data an back date it to the start of the billing period.
Also no taxes and surcharges on data. |

With nominal usage, streaming 80 minutes of Sirius XM on my commute already had 184 mb. How can you stay under 150? |

| It's very easy to stay under 150MB, take streaming media out of the equation, use wi-fi for app downloads/updates, and sparingly browse the web. E-mail is texted based and doesn't use much data at all, so don't even worry about that. A good portion of smartphone users are content to use them sparingly, for the occasional website look-up while out of the house, directions, etc. |
