Looks like Verizon will be moving the heavy usage unlimited people soon enough. > **[Verizon warns HUGE data users: Switch plans or else](http://money.cnn.com/2016/07/23/news/companies/verizon-data-unlimited-plans-customers/index.html)** > > Verizon told customers who use "extraordinary amounts of data" that they will be cut off if they don't pick a new plan by August 31. ---

I just had to renew my contract with them as my phone ended up at the bottom of the river somewhere yesterday. -\_- Now they make you "lease’ the phone which rolls into your monthly payments? Never had that before, is that something new? ---

Never had that before, is that something new? Its not a lease actually, you finance the amount of your phone over a period of time. Each carrier has different options, and the option you have is after X months you can upgrade early and return the phone to them, alternatively you can keep the phone until its paid off then upgrade and re-sell the phone yourself. Your other option is just outright buy the phone, all carriers are doing away with 2-year subsidized pricing/contracts. ---
