anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but that is what i have heard from a rep at at&t.
Oh ok. I'm going to order my mom an iPhone 6. When it comes in, I'mma just put my sim in the iPhone 6 and she can take my current iphone 5.
Correct. iPhone 5 and newer all use micro-SIM so you can just swap them over.

I see the utility in a bit larger screen but 5.5"? That seems like a lot of phone. That's one of the reasons why I didn't go with the Samsung Note 2.

I suppose if you actually do work on it then it's understandable. However, if it's just for basic uses, is a phablet really that portable?
My LG G3 is the "DD Tits"! The 5.5in screen is perfect to view high-res pics and video on as well as the plethora of web pages I visit daily. But what sets my device apart from anything offered by apple or other android devices is how this and svelte this phone is! Beyond rapid. And the 32gig is sufficient but I have a expandable 64g micro SD card for those full 1080p home video sessions with the Mrs. ( keed!)
Once you get used to the larger screens, all else seems dainty.

I will say that this is a MUCH needed upgrade for the Apple faithful tho.

Right now my usage is averaging 1.5 GB per month. To keep the bill on par I would have to go to a 2GB limited plan. I don't like that lack of headroom.

What would you do?
So get the 4 gig one if you want headroom but seems pointless. You can change at anytime between 2 and 4 depending on usage. You definitely have no case at all for wanting unlimited if you average 1.5 gigs. You are hanging on to an outdated plan for no reason IMO.

I do see your point. I guess what gives me pause is the fact that there is no going back if I switch. That means if my future usage goes up I will be stuck with the overage rates. Right now there is peace of mind that I do not need to worry if I have a high usage month. I also like the idea of not being under a contract with the ability to switch to any other service provider at will.

I guess I will have to think on it.

Decided to drop the unlimited and went with Verizon's Single Line plan for $60. I did the math and i would have to more than double my current data usage to get the bill to be the same as I have now.

Goodbye unlimited data, you were a good friend.
