Verizon giving 15GB of free data

[John C]

I'm sure everyone knows by now but Verizon is giving 15gb of free data to use from now until 4/30/20.

Here are the details:

"15 GB of data across nearly all of our plans, to be used between 03/25/2020 and 04/30/2020. To be eligible, you must be on a qualifying postpaid (unlimited or shared), Jetpack or prepaid plan:

• For Unlimited Data Plans
  • 15 GB of 4G LTE data will be added to your plan’s existing Mobile Hotspot allotment
  • Eligible plans include: The Verizon Plan Unlimited, Go/Beyond/Above Unlimited Plans, Start/Play More/Do More/Get More Unlimited Plans
• For Shared Data Plans
  • 15 GB of 4G LTE shared data will be added (can be used for Mobile Hotspot, or any other connected device using the shared data plan)
  • Eligible plans include: More Everything Plans, Verizon Plans 1.0 and 2.0 (e.g., S, M, L, XL, XXL), Just Kids
• For Jetpack - Unlimited or Metered Plans
  • 15 GB of 4G LTE data will be added
• For Prepaid
  • All monthly plans with a data allowance: 15 GB of 4G LTE data will be added to monthly metered Smartphone (can be used for Mobile Hotspot), Jetpack and Tablet device plans

Note: If you’re on a shared or account level plan, all lines on the account will share the data. If each line on your account has its own plan, each will receive its own data."

Only thing that Bell here in Canada is doing is giving 10GB of 4G LTE data to mobile hotspot users for free (but on top of their $50+ hotspot plans) until April 30th, and nothing for mobile phone users. Home internet is a different story (waiving all internet overage charges until April 30th), but who has the ability to use their home internet while out chasing?
