If you’re a Verizon Wireless user, then you probably already know that you’re likely paying more than you would with any other cell phone company. That’s why I’ve recommended checking out Ting and Republic Wireless in the past.

Recently though, Verizon has made a few steps to give their customers a bit of a break. Along with changing the name of some of their plans to MORE Everything, they’ve also given their smartphone customers more data for the price that they’re paying now. In some cases they may get double the data allowance they had before.

If you’re a Verizon Wireless customer, you’ll get the data increases automatically without intervention on your part. However, to save money, you will need to get involved. If you’ve stayed under your previous data cap, then simply call them up and ask to be moved back to your previous data cap level. That should immediately lower your monthly bill by whatever the next data level down is. Almost instant savings!
