Verizon doesn’t seem to know what “unlimited” means in Droid contracts
Remember when you’d argue with your friends about how many of this or that you had or did, and someone would always trump you by saying they had infinity? And do you remember the inevitable retort? “Oh yeah, well I’ve got infinity plus one.” Seems someone at Verizon decided to put that childish little witticism into practice as a service plan for the Droid. You see, their “unlimited” plan is, as you might expect, very limited. Five gigs of data and no tethering.
Not to worry, though, you can get unlimited plus one for an additional $30 with the tethering plan — wait, I’m being told that this “unlimited” plan is also limited to five gigs. Oh, and there’s an unlimited plus two if you want to use Microsoft Exchange. $45 please. Can someone take these charlatans to task for abuse of the word “unlimited”? I mean, it’s far from the first time someone has done that, but this is pretty egregious.
I guess it’s no surprise that Verizon is using the positive momentum of the Droid push to chisel its subscribers even more than usual. But really, we need to set some ground rules for when you can say something is unlimited.
