We are due for an upgrade in September (if we decide to do it) and I was just looking at the new Share Everything plan.
I went through my last bill to see how much talk / text / data we use and the plan Verizon recommended was $150 a month. We could get away with the $140 a month with half the amount of data if needed.
Our current plan is about $145 before taxes and fees and before my 20% discount. Right now we have 700 minutes and Unlimited Mobile to Mobile, Unlimited Text and Data.
I was hoping the new plan would be cheaper but it seems to be the same if not more expensive for our two devices. I guess if we had more than two phones it would end up saving us in the end but it's just the two of us.

We are on the new plan since my husband upgraded in July. We have 2 smartphones and one basic phone on the plan and we just needed 1G of data. We are actually saving on the new plan compared to the old plan.

Yep, just did. It's with my parents. Were a week into it with no complaints. With only 2 of us it wasn't ad economical, but put a 3rd and it makes sense. My mom joined as 4th so it's even better.
We''re at 6gb now but I think that's a super high estimate. My dad is a computer engineer though and wanted a huge amount despite me telling him mine and h's average usage.
H and I decided it wasnt for us. We like our unlimited data because we tether to our laptop a lot while on the road. We dont text and use about 200 minutes each month. I even thought about cancelling my line a couple of times but I like my data haha.
ETA: Our two lines right now is $120/mo. If we were to switch to the new plan, it'd be $140/mo.

Yes, we switched and it saves us about $20 a month for two iPhones and one iPad. I also love that tethering is included (before it was an extra charge).
We don't use a lot of data either despite how much I am on my phone. This last bill DH used more data than I did and I use my phone all of the time at work. I think we could drop down to their cheapest share everything plan for $130 and save some $$. Maybe I will look into getting on my grandparents plan since they have my cousin on their too. It may be cheaper to split the bill between all of us if we are allowed to do that.

I currently have unlimited but even with DD using my phone I never go over 2GB. We are upgrading in November and will switch to the share plan. It's going to cost us an additional $10/month if we do the 4GB plan.
