I have also been on an unlimited internet plan with verizon and will be switching to the 2 gig plan. In all the years I have had the phones I have never even used 1 gig as I don't stream anything or do movies etc. However having unlimited was a safety net. I liked knowing that I could do that.

I have been a customer for a long time and have been offered a loyalty plan for $60 a month including unlimited texting and talk but 2 gig internet and no hotspot which I had considered. If I go over it will be $10 a gig. I am thinking about going this route.

Looking for any information on phones I should consider and any other items I should look into when making the decisions.

Any information is helpful.

Thank you.
I agree about the unlimited internet being worth hanging on to. As to the phone, switching to an iPhone will be a lot like using the iPad and you can even use some (maybe most) of your iPad apps on the iPhone. They can share. An iCloud account to so iMessage, reminders and many other things can appear on both devices. I think the commonality of the ecosystem through icloud is one of the most useful things about having both an iPad and an iPhone.
