Hi, Well, as a Verizon customer who has been awaiting the iPhone, I'm very much looking forward to getting it next month. My understanding is that the unlimited data plan for $30 will continue to be available, and that's perfectly fine with me. Our daughter and son-in-law live in New York City and have had iPhones, and often when we talk with them, reception is lost. No company is perfect, but in the many years I've been with Verizon, I've had nothing but excellent and courteous customer service. I also have more confidence in the stability of their network than would I have for AT&T, so I'll have no [problem taking out a new two year agreement for my wife and myself to get these phones.
