Verizon is terminating the Unlimited plans of customers in rural areas who are using excessive data on an LTEiRA partner network. This is a program in which regional carriers are used to get coverage to areas beyond Verizon’s native network. Apparently, the company doesn’t want to pay partners for the roaming habits of a handful of customers.
…Verizon is contacting anyone who’s using a large amount of data on an LTEiRA partner, and telling them to either port their plans to another carrier or face outright termination. “They’re calling those with billing addresses outside of their coverage areas on unlimited and agreeing to pay off their phones if they will port out, otherwise they will discontinue the service,” one poster said. In a statement to BGR, Verizon confirmed that it’s terminating the contracts of some customers who are not in native Verizon service areas.
