9:11 am
lot of folks out there as well. stay tuned. we'll be talking with a tech guru about what you need to know coming up next on fox 5 morning news. 
9:12 am
9:13 am
9:14 am
a change on the horizon for verizon. >> very nice. >> the company is rolling out its new data plans in about two weeks. >> what's included and what's not. you verizon. >> verizon. >> i'm verizon. let's pay attention. for an indepth look at the fees we head over to lauren doing double duty. from traffic today to the smartphone zone. >> from traffic to tech, i've got it covered. this new shared data plan is what it's called from vary rye disonl. there are several -- verizon. there are several plans depending on how much data you use. june 28 is the big date. that's what you want to know if you're looking into get a new phone, if you're up for an upgrade, you want to know everything and you want to know came your options are before that date. here to help me explain why is
9:15 am
pete erickson with modev group d.c. pete, thanks for joining us. you're so helpful with all of this stuff. you're my go-to guy. i can call him up and ask him all these questions. first things first, people need to learn about data and how much they're using. >> yes. this is the don of a new era. most people today don't know how much data they actually use. first things first, people need to understand how much data are they using on their smartphones currently. >> it turns out i thought i was using huge amount just because of all the stuff that i do on my phone. turns out that i called verizon and i actually look less than one gig a month myself. keep that in mind. verizon is people use on average 1 to 2 gigs but there are also those data hogs out there. >> that's right. it's sort of like the all you can eat buffet. there's been a lot of people at the all you can bah identify and those -- buffet and those
9:16 am
types are changing. there are people that use tens of gigabytes a month and n data. first things first. call your carrier. look on your phone. find out what your usage is. >> let's put up the little chart from verizon about the different plans. basically if you switch over to a shared data plan which you don't have to, but you can do so starting june 28, here's a look at what you will be paying. all of the minutes and the text messaging is unlimited. it's all based on your indicate take -- your data usage plus a surcharge for what sort of device you have. if you're a person who uses just a few minutes per month when all of a sudden you have unlimited minutes which maybe you didn't care so much about and now you're paying more for that data where previously you had the until limited data, you were grandfathered in. there is a way you can keep the grandfathered in plans. can you explain that? >> you can keep your unlimited plan. the tough decision is going to come when you want to upgrade your device. if you want to keep your
9:17 am
unlimited plan and upgrade your device, you'll have to buy the new device without any subsidy from the carrier. an iphone for example starts at 649. that's going to then cause people to look at devices on the market and, you know, even maybe buy used devices to put them on their unlimited plan. >> the people that really affects are those who are due for an upgrade now. you want to know what's going on before june 28 and make your decision before then. can we talk in general this data, why is it such an issue? is it a finite thing? >> right. there are a couple of things at play. clearly verizon and the other carriers want to get as many devices on to their network as possible. by offering shared data plans, they can get ipads and phones and things called my fi devices which give you wireless broadband based on the care yes network. they want to get all the devices on one plan. there's a limited supply spectrum.
9:18 am
spectrum is the radio waves in the sky, the pipes in the sky that give you the connectivity to the internet. there's a limited supply spectrum. so carriers have a limited supply spectrum. they want to get as many devices on as possible. these are creative ways, innovative ways to change business models, to get more brand loyalty on to the carrier network and distribute the data usage. >> we are out of time. i just want to say i did ask pete about whether there are any other carriers with better plans out there. you say that first of all, they're all going to be doing this so just watch for this to come. >> this is a changing time. it's important that people select a carrier that works really well in their home, at their work. carrier networks differ in their services in different locations so pick a great carrier where you work and where you live. that's number one. >> okay. thank you so much, pete. >> nice to be here. >> we're going to send it back to you, will. if you want more information for this just check myfoxdc.com.
