Verizon, AT&T steer iPhone 5 buyers to their shared data plans

Coverage Type:

Both U.S. carriers introduced new shared data plans -- called Share Everything for Verizon and Mobile Share for AT&T -- earlier this year, and they've been pushing them on customers since they launched last month. Now new customers who buy the iPhone 5 from Verizon will have to get the company's Shared Everything plan. They don't have a choice.
