How does the Global Data Plan affect my limits while still in the states?

  I turned on the Global Data Plan for a trip next week.  Will my normal data limits apply while still in the states this week?

    Hi KBKB,
I wish you a safe trip next week. The Global Data Plan has no impact on the data plan you would use in the states because they cover data differently at a separate cost and data allowance. Do you need more details on our Global Data plan? Visit http://vz.to/1oEXUCa.

  • The global data plan is a scam.

    Bottom line of the story: Your Verizon phone will not work at all either in Europe or in South America.
    I called three months ago to ask Verizon if I was going to be able to make phone calls in China. Without asking me, I was added against my consent to the global data plan. When I found out about it reading my next bill, I thought it might be a good thing. After all, I was about to go to Germany and Argentina and it would be nice to have data there. So, I thought of keeping it. However, the plan doesn't work. In fact, the phone doesn't even make regular phone calls in any country except USA, Canada, Mexico, China, India, Israel and a few more. It won't work anywhere in Europe or in South America. The problem is that Verizon phones are CDMA, which is a technology which was fully replaced by GSM in most countries. So, your regular Verizon phone will not work almost anywhere. You could get a special GSM phone for your trips. But besides being a nuisance, it was something I wasn't aware since I didn't even request the service.
    How did my story finish? I asked for a refund for the $100 I payed for the three months I was in the plan (somehow I was charged double the first month). I was given $25 back only. I payed $75 and I didn't get a single byte of downloaded data in exchange. I'm switching to either AT&T or T-Mobile next month.

    Best advice I can give any traveler is buy a cheap prepaid phone when you get to your destination
    It will save you so much money and so many headaches 
    That's not bad advice, but if you travel a lot, it makes sense to get a global-capable phone and use local SIMs.  That way you get cheap rates but can still use all your nice data features, such as Google Navigation.  Until the latest crop of ICS LTE phones, you would need to ask Verizon for an unlock code to use a local SIM.  Currently, at least, these phones work without an unlock.
    You do have to be careful though, prevent your phone connecting until you replace the SIM with a local one, to avoid data charges simply caused by the phone syncing with email, Play store/Apple Store etc.

  • I use Plaxo for my contacts, and I want it to synch my Outlook contacts with my PC.  So I can't use my iCloud contact synch.  My question: How do I disable my iCloud contact synch feature while still allowing the rest of iCloud (music

    I use Plaxo for my contacts, and I want it to synch my Outlook contacts with my PC.  I got a new HP PC with the (awful) Windows 8.0 operating system, and, to say the least, I miss the good old days.   Plaxo customer support tells me that I can't use my iCloud contact synch because they clash. 
    My question: How do I disable my iCloud contact synch feature while still allowing the rest of iCloud (music, photos) to operate as usual.
    What mysterious steps must I take in order to do this and not cause a complete meltdown in the process?  The meltdown that I fear most is the one that happens between my ears.

    Music is nothing to do with iCloud but Photostream is, so turn off Mail, Contacts and Calendars (in the iCloud Control Panel) and leave everything else on.
    You will lose iCloud Calendars and Mail as well as Contacts, but you can manually re-enable mail (if you use iCloud email)

  • HT5891 Is there a way to remove the menu bar from a secondary display while still using the "Displays have separate spaces" mode?

    Is there a way to remove the menu bar from a secondary display while still using the very useful "Displays have separate spaces" mode?
    The reason I ask is that most full-screen video playback in most applications, from iTunes to Flash/Silverlight plugins do not take up the full screen, instead leaving space for the menu bar (in the case of iTunes) or leaving the menu bar present on top of the video (for fullscreen Flash/Silverlight videos).
    This is annoying for several reasons ranging from the obvious distraction factor to the fact that 1080p video is not played back at native resolution on a 1080p display.
    If there is no way to disable this functionality while maintaining separate spaces, I would (humbly) suggest that a future update to Mavericks allow non-Lion-style* full-screen apps to take over the entire display.
    *Lion-style full-screen apps are those that animate into a full-screen mode when the opposing-arrows full-screen button in the upper-right-hand corner of the window is pressed.

    No. Turning that off reverts to the old display setup. You have one desktop spanned across all displays. The menu bar appears on the primary display only.

  • How does Index fragmentation and statistics affect the sql query performance

    Hi,

    How does Index fragmentation and statistics affect the sql query performance
    Very simple answer, outdated statistics will lead optimizer to create bad plans which in turn will require more resources and this will impact performance. If index is fragmented ( mainly clustered index,holds true for Non clustred as well) time spent in finding
    the value will be more as query would have to search fragmented index to look for data, additional spaces will increase search time.

  • Global Data Plan not working in the Netherlands

    I called customer service a week before my trip and arranged for the $30 "Global Data" plan to begin April 1. I have been unable to get a data connection here in the Netherlands and e-mails to customer service have gone unanswered. I cannot see anything on my account to indicate whether this has ever been activated.
    By poking around the settings and setting the data networks to GSM I've been able to see Vodophone, T-Mobile, and KPN listed, but if I try to connect to any of them I get an error that indicates I cannot connect to them.
    Can anyone provide some advice on how to get this working? I was really relying on this to help with getting info on places to visit and it's proving a pretty difficult trip when having to rely on free wifi spots to make up for this.

  • What is the best data plan overall. I can't decide how many GB of data to get...

    I can't decide how many GB of data to get...

    You can change the data plan on a monthly basis.  So as a start, choose one of the smaller amounts, use it for a month or two.  Then look at your account and see how much data you are using on a regular basis.  If you use a lot of data and need a bigger plan, choose that for next month.  However, if you use less data, move to a smaller plan.  I did this, and since I'm on WiFi most of the time at home and at work, I migrated to the smallest 3G data plan.

  • How does changing an internet provider affect the wireless network

    If I have a wireless network set up with the Linksys E1000 using one internet provider and then change the internet provider service to someone else, do I have to reset up the network or is it simply a matter of connecting the new internet service to the router?

    It affects your network setting, I changed the provider, now is AT&T, they "don't support 3rd party routers".
    I followed their instructions to change their modem settings to "bridge", the router still doesn't work, have turned off modem and router, still doesn't work.
    Had to return to the other modem since I have not disconnected it yet.
    Already checked that the IP address of the computer and new modem are similar as recommeded by AT& T, still can't make things work.Frustrating !!

  • How does an enhancement of datasource affect my production data

    Hello All,
    We have enhanced a datasource 2LIS_11_VAITM, I want to know what will happen to my existing data in the production after i move the enanced datasource to production???
    will i need to clear the existing data in production after moving the same to another dummy cube O r will just running the deltas bring in the data for the enhanced fields as well without disturbing the existing data...
    Please respond. The issue is very critical..

    Hi,
    For all the historical data that already exists in your BI system, the data for the enhanced fields will not be populated but deltas would work absolutely fine and for all the new transactional changes, these fields will be filled. If you want to populate the data for historical data as well, you will have to carry out fill up of setup tables and reload the data to BI by initialising the data. If the data is being fed to DSO, I dont think that there is any need for deleting the data, as it would get overwritten by the new initialisation load.
    As such, please note that deltas will not get triggered if the only changes to Sales Order are for enhanced fields. Deltas will only be captured for the fields that are part of main communication structure. The motive for adding the enhaned fields is only to bring information for these fields.

  • VZW - Bring back global data plans or this will be my last trip with a VZW phone in my pocket

    (Background -I travel from the US to NZ&AU 3 times per year 2-3 weeks at a time for business. After my last trip I raved about VZW's data service in AU and was looking forward to having it available again. I even purchased a Droid 2 Global for my upcoming trip because I knew i could rely on the service. Called VZW today to make arrangements..)
    Last trip (September 2010) : $65 for unlimited data
    This trip (: $20/MB
    Dear Verizon -
    At this data rate your product is no longer a reliable business tool - it is at best a novelty. Even though I have a capable device in my pocket, I will have to search out wifi hotspots throughout my trip b/c your service is cost prohibitive. This change makes a clear statement that you do not want to be taken seriously as a global service provider, and is disrespectful to those of us who signed contracts with you based on the availability of your international data plan.
    As my trip is just 1 day away, I do not have time to find a new provider before i leave. This, however, will be my last trip abroad with a Verizon phone in my pocket if the unlimited data plan is not brought back. Early termination fee? Doesn't look so bad when you consider that it costs more to download 15MB than it does to terminate my contract.
    If anyone at Verizon actually reads this board, please take this thread as a notice from myself and those who post below that you will be losing us as customers if this situation is not rectified.

    Agree completely.
    Background:  I've posted a few replies to this topic on Droidforums.net (Under Droid 2 Global).  Just found out about this plan being canceled this week while preparing for a 1 month trip to Japan - figured I would just call to reinstate the plan only to be told it no longer exists.  I am a new VZW customer as of this past November and had used the unlimited data plan on a trip passing through S. Korea and 2 weeks in the Philippines in December - Droid 2 Global worked flawlessly for data once Global Support was able assist with the correct settings.  
    I am extremely disappointed and feel I was misled when entering into a 2 year contract.  From what I have read it sounds like plans were in the works to cancel the plan with a notice being sent to existing customers last November or something.  Nice that I was told the truth as it was the primary reason I switched from AT&T.  By rights the salesman had an obligation to tell me "you know, this plan is being eliminated as of January xx so if you want to keep it you need to keep it active".
    Regarding the 4G LTE service, yes the CS agent I spoke with the other night mentioned this as well but either way I am hosed into getting a new device at that point so give me one good reason to stay with VZW.  At this point as I mention below I am perfectly willing to cut my losses and go back to Brother Orange or other.  In all honesty what I have found in the past 3 months of nationwide travel is that the call quality is muddy at best compared to my old RazorV3 on Orange and seems to be better on NON-VZW networks.
    Fool me once, shame on you... Fool me twice shame on me.  This is going to hurt VZW more than it hurts me.
    If anyone else on this forum could verify if I was given the correct contact names noted below (this came via text msg from CS agent as I was still speaking with her - bless her heart):
    1.)  Daniel S. Mead is in fact the President & CEO and
    2.)  T.J. Fox is the Regional President for IL and WI. 
    I have every intention of writing a more formal version of below and sending via Fedex or USPS with signature required as it seems electronic means is not allowed.
    The following is posted on the above mentioned forum: 
    Strength in numbers...
    I recall one of the earlier posters had the idea of a petition and I see that Word attachments are allowed here so perhaps I'll draft something up on the flight this Sunday from LAX to NRT and post it next week. Perhaps not so much a petition but more of an "open letter", potentially post it on VZW's own forum as well.
    I talked with CS last night for a while regarding another issue and also brought this up. The agent provided me with the following contacts and suggested I write a letter:
    Daniel S. Mead - President & CEO
    One Verizon Way
    Basking Ridge, NJ 07920
    T.J. Fox - Regional President IL, WI,
    777 Big Timber Rd.
    Elgin, IL 60123
    If anyone else wants to take a crack be my guest, I just think that with minimal effort Verizon might take notice.
    Key points as follows:
    1.) $20/Mb for Global Data (Verizon doesn't seem to "get" the idea that "Global" is bigger than just North America, Canada, Mexico and Europe) is not just inconvenient it is outrageously overpriced rendering the phones useless:
    Again, using my last months usage as a reference and I don't believe I am a heavy user - email, some browsing, Weatherbug, Nav. etc:  250Mb at $20/Mb = $5,000
    Do they seriously think anyone can afford that? All they have done is to hurt their own bottom line.
    I'd be really curious to know how many subscribers to the $64.99 Global plan they had or in other words how much revenue they lost.
    I'd be happy with a compromise but to eliminate it completely?
    2.) According to Global Support, Data has to be either on or off, no way to selectively leave on POP email which is really the only thing I have a need for and simply turn off everything else. Even if you use an App killer how do you really prove there is no data transferring unless you specifically tell the device.
    Might be time to root if I could be sure it would eliminate unwanted data transfer.
    3.) The availability of this plan vs. other carriers was the only reason I switched from AT&T last November. No mention was ever made of this plan going away. Misleading sales tactics IMHO.
    4.) Canceling my contract (family plan at ~ $190/month) that is only 3 months old at this point would sting a little bit for me in terms of 2 lines @ $320 each for early termination.
    But, from Verizon's perspective that would be 21 months of lost revenue or ~$4000.
    So if 10 people were to send letters/ 10 signatures, we're are talking about potentially $40,000 or more.
    100 people now we are starting to get into serious money.
    Any way you look at this, Verizon has only succeeded in hurting their own bottom line:   Potential canceled contracts, customers spending the money elsewhere such as Japan's Softbank or NTT Docomo in my case, potential new customers lost due to publicity of this, etc.
    Any +/- feedback appreciated

    Hi Manisha,
    It is looking very strange. But still try to do following may be helpfull.
    1. First activate your smart form after declaring the variable in Global definition. Then try to drag n drop from Field list
    2. Or else click on Editor tab of Text node, Then Goto-> change editor (You will get a editor same as Sapscripts)
    put the variable like that:
    HT : &W_TOTAL-MASSG&
    Try this. Best luck...

  • How much of my data plan is used to display emails on phone?

    I am very new to having a smart phone, so i have lots of questions. I linked my phone to me email account and it displays them on my phone. If I just browse the list of emails without opening any of them, I am curious about how much of my data plan (1G) I am going to use. I know I will use more if I open them, but if it uses a lot of data to merely have them displayed, I will disable it.

    There are some options in your email client which would obviously affect how much data is used. That and the amount/type of emails you receive.
    Do you have your email client set to automatically download attachments? This would increase data, especially if you receive a lot of email with attachments.
    It would also depend if you have your client set to download the email when it is received, not when opened.

  • Who has the Unlimited Data Plan and has Been Speed Capped when You went over 5Gig?

    Just checking to see how many others have been speed capped to 200Kb on the unlimited data plan when they went over 5Gig in a billing cycle? (you can get a one time reprieve if you call them at 1-888-483-7200)
    Did they ask you to change your plan to 10Gig and Update your Equipment and sign a new two year agreement?
    Did you know that Sprint is offering unlimited Data on their 4G network and that Verizon is trying to lock down customers that are not on 2 year contracts? (Gives them time to catch up with the competition) Marcus in Fraud and Investigation told me (when I told him that Sprint was offering Unlimited Data)  "...That is a better option..." 
    I am now looking into other options along with allot of the rest of you.

    I was instructed to call that Fraud Department number and was treated like I had broken some kind of law instead of going over the 5 Gig fine print limit on my unlimited grandfathered in account. They would not even consider giving me a one time do over for being a MiFi newbie. I am hearing class action suit rumblings out there!!
