Verizon is dropping the unlimited data plan for new iPhone subscribers next month, according to spokeswoman Brenda Raney.

"We will move to a more usage based model in July," Raney told AllThingsD in an e-mail. "We’ll share more later."

Droid Life has pinpointed the start of tiered data plans to July 7th and says the pricing will be as follows:

2GB – $30/month
5GB – $50/month
10GB – $80/month
*If you want tethering its an extra $20/month and adds 2GB of data to those plans.

Those who are planning to get a Verizon iPhone 4 this summer may want to do so before July 7th.

so if i get an iphone 4 with the unlimited data plan tomorrow do i get to keep it or will they change it after my 2 year contract finishes

You will get to keep it forever as long as you have a 3G Only phone., at least that is what AT&T is, i am guessing virizon is similar. But if and when you get in to 4G it is a different plan so you loose it, and be in what ever plan they have at the time.

im glad im grandfathered into at&t unlimited althought i havent been using many gigs recently.i have done 9.7 gigs a month for a few months

verizon has always been know for outrageous prices.. but 80 bucks for 10gig.... thats already 3 times my full bill..... nobody is going to want the iphone 4s

So 10 GB of data costs you guys more than a contract with completely free calls, texts and data (at full speed) does for me in Sweden..? I do not envy you guys.. You really have to pay up if you want a smartphone..

They are going crazy with there prices, I think it should be priced like this 2GB $20 5GB $30 10GB $50 Maybe throw in Unlimited $100 or something

They say unlimited but its never unlimited. After the datacap they brings down to edge service. So to me it doesnt matter.

That will be stupid in Verizon part..should wait until Iphone5 comes out lock all customers then change the data plan...

James - June 21, 2011 at 12:17pm

but then they'd have all those people on unlimited plans (grandfathered in) makes more sense for them to do it before so that all new customers will have to use these overpriced plans. And guess what, people will pay it. Sad.
