Anyone ever heard of the $39.99 data plan?

I gave my mom an Alltel Curve so she could try it out to see if she wanted a BlackBerry. Verizon will not let her activate it without adding on a $39.99 data plan (not $29.99). A CSR told her over the phone it's because she has an old Alltel plan ... I think she's had the plan since 2003. So then someone activated it in the store for her and said it would be $29.99. Well, of course, she got home, checked her account and $39.99 was added on. Another CSR said the system will not allow it to be activated without adding $39.99.
Has anyone ever heard of this? I have activated this phone on an Alltel plan without the extra $10, but my Alltel plan was started in 2006. Anyway, she of course deactivated the phone ... who would pay $40/month for a data plan on an old device?!

Hi,
It sounds like someone was trying to add the Blackberry Enterprise Service (BES) to her Blackberry device.  She doesn't need that.  She will have to get the 3G Smartphone data package, which is called the Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) for $29.99.  It includes unlimited data, meaning unlimited internet and instant messaging and she can add up to 10 email accounts on the device.  SMS and MMS messaging is extra, so make sure she is covered in her base plan for that type of messaging.  Remember, all 3G Smartphones require the data package.  I hope this helps.

  • Anyone ever heard of the iMod software patch?

    I stumbled on this when researching iMod.
    http://www.randgruppe.info/ipod/
    I sounds like nonsense since the line level output of digital sources often can range from 1v to 2.4v.
    Any clarification would be appreciated. (I just got my first Ipod (5g 30 gig) so I don't know the scuttlebut on it).

  • Insurance, Has anyone ever heard of Worth Ave. Insurance

      Has anyone ever heard of Worth Ave. Insurance?    http://www.worthavegroup.com/iphone-insurance
    Cost is certainly reasonable, and only $50 deductible for replacement. $80.10 per year for 16GB phone.

    I have heard of them, and have heard good things about them.
    HOWEVER, I have also heard great thigns about SquareTrade, and they are only $99, for 2 years, not just one year.  And, it is a $50 deductible with them as well.

  • Will the 9.99 data plan work?

    I have a 9.99 data plan and use a KIN TWOm, I also have a Blackberry Curve and like to use it for the GPS capability and geocaching.
    Question, can I periodically activate the BB for a few hours simply to use it for the GPS?
    Thanks all for your help!

    Thank you everyone for your help. You can switch between the KIN and Blackberry as often as you need to. There is no restriction on the number of feature changes including add-on data features each month; that only applies to calling plan changes. Since the 29.99 data plan is unlimited, you will not have to worry about data overages from partial billing. However, the 9.99 data plan will be prorated if it is not active for the entire month. If you switch the KIN back on the same day, you shouldn't have any issues. If you do have data overage charges for one day the KIN was reactivated in the same day, contact customer service to review your charges for accuracy. If there are any errors while each phone was active, we will credit the charges.

  • I currently have the 2 gig data plan for $50, plus a free 1 gig promotional attachment but Verizon is currently offering the 3 gig data plan for $50, but if I upgrade will I lose the free 1 gig promotion I currently have attached to my account?

    I currently have the 2 gig data plan for $50, plus a free 1 gig promotional attachment but Verizon is currently offering the 3 gig data plan for $50, but if I upgrade will I lose the free 1 gig promotion I currently have attached to my account?
    I understand I will still be getting 3 gigs of data for the $50, I would just like to continue to have the free 1 gig promotion I was already getting, if you Verizon was willing to do it before then why can't they continue to do it now?

    Like Ann154 said, changing plans often results in the loss of any promos you may have.  In your case, it makes no difference to the price you will pay - you'll have 3 GB for $50.  Whether you have 1GB free, or a better price on the 3GB plan is a wash.  I'd leave things alone....

  • Has anyone ever succesfully used the bios recovery feature?

    i have a p35 platinum that im working with, cant get it to do right. so i was wondering anyone. ever? on any board? seems like as much as i paid for this thing it would work.

    it depends on the severeness of your system. In most case, where BIOS is destroyed/corrupted completely, there is really no way for recovery except changing the BIOS chip. Some the damange is not that worse and it's still possible to do the recovery.
    and yes, it did work for me before. and of course, it didn't work for some of my systems too.

  • Did anyone have problems with the 2012 4GB Data Promotion?

    I purchased a Droid RAZR on June 4th with the understanding that I would receive the 4GB upgrade on the data plan. Verizon did not and will not honor this promotion because, in their words, I manually activated the phone and the promotion was never applied to the account and there was nothing they could do. Really? Nothing? Even though I attempted activation through the device 3 times to no avail?  I have documentation that I placed the order during the promo and added the promo upgrade on the order. This is totally unacceptable and I am angry & disappointed in Verizon's customer service. I have been a customer with Verizon for 10 years and never experienced anything like this.
    I am curious if anyone else has had issues with Verizon not honoring this promo? Thanks.

    If you have the record of the purchase, and it lists the option to add the "Double Your Data" on it, then I would just go to a Corporate Store and talk to someone there. Did you buy the phone through Verizon Online? Somewhere else?

  • Can I switch to the new 150MB Data Plan?

    I currently have the Family Plan 700 min package. I have 2 phones. I have a Samsung Omnia which has the $29.99 unlimited MB package. 
    I also have a Samsung Rogue with the $9.99  25MB package.
    On the Rogue, is there any way I can swtich to the new $15 150MB package? I no longer see it listed in the data plans on Verizon's website, but I am unable to switch to the new plan through my account. It is either my current plan, or the unlimited plan. 
    Will I ever be able to switch?
    Thanks!

    Yes you can switch. You may have to call in though,

  • How to keep the Unlimited verizon data plan when upgrading to iphone 4s?

    How can I keep my unlimited data plan when upgrading to a IPHONE 4s???
    I tried everything!!! I have an apple giftcard so I want to use it through apple.com but It wont let me keep my unlimited data plan

    The terms of your data/phone plan are solely determined by your carrier, in this case Verizon.  It is up to them if they wish to allow consumers to carry over the existing terms of their plan.  Hence, the thing you need to do is contact Verizon customer service and ask them to carry your terms over with your upgrade.  I'm hoping if you ask nicely they may do it.
    Hope this helps

  • Has anyone ever heard of hearing aids in the same bag as an ipad causing the iPad to reset?

    Hi, 
    We have one user who's iPad keeps resetting itself and deleting all user setting and data.  This has happened several times, we have even traded out the iPad for a different one, same issue.  Apparently it is working when they put it into the case, but several times now when they take it out, it has been reset and is looking for the itunes connection and to be setup again.  We have asked about possible outside interference, magnets, etc.  The only thing that was mentioned today was that this user wears hearing aids and that they often put them in the same bag as the iPad after a meeting.  I know this is grasping at straws, but has anyone heard of this casuing any problems before?
    Thanks

    There are a few ways to remotely wipe an iDevice.  One of them is if it is connected to MS Exchange.   (Administrators can wipe the device and you can do it through webmail) Maybe something bizzare is happening with that.
    Just shots in the dark... I have no idea really.

  • Has anyone ever heard of a way to get information as to why a LV 7.0 (or earlier) application is hung?

    What I would really like, is a crash dump or an error message telling me why the event structure is not responding to user events.
    FYI
    The application has lots of log files and error logging that shows that every thing was fine up until Saturday night at midnight. Six seconds after midnight most file activity stopped.
    Although there are some back ground processes that still seem to be running (Time and date is still updating and at least one file is still being updated regularly). The application has error logging built in, but unfortunately the error log file is one of the files that stopped getting updated!
    So, if you have heard of this being done, please
    throw me a lead so I can run with it.
    Thank you,

    hi ben
    i once had an app with lots of dynamic stuff. i wanted to get some information about the time some vis have been called. so i put an timestamp indicator on the fp of each vi and wrote the current time to that indicator when the vi executed. all indicators had the same label. i then ran a vi in the back, polling the value of the timestamp indicator of all vis in memory using the GetControlValue-property (can be done purely generic!). i wrote the vis name and the timestamp in a log file, so i had a log of the last time all the vis have been executed.
    maybe thats an idea.

  • Anyone ever heard of a Gurmukhi ?? I got one I need helkp with!

    Hi Folks
    I have never seen anything like this.
    I am reading an UTF16 format CSV file by employing the External Table method.
    One record is being rejected with the following error in the LOG file
    KUP-04021: field formatting error for field CHARGED_KILOBYTES
    KUP-04101: record 24208 rejected in file /data/oradata/NGC/upload/devcto/data/SIM_MachM_2_2009-04-08.csvWhen I open up the 'BAD' file which was created during the external table reading process I find the following character
    200903,"V","mobilkom austria AG","23211","AUTMK","MTC","T","N","11","Telephony","n/a","n/a","Not available","-","Not available", ,"615","44201","44201","0,00000","0,00000","0,00000","0,000","0,000","0,000"
    ਊMore information on the little squiggly guy you see above can be found here...
    http://bit.ly/bOTg2m
    Can anyone offer any advice or tips on how to strip this during the External table reading process? Some setting in the external table definition?
    The record itself seems fine it's just this weird Gurmukhi character that Oracle, quite rightly, does not like.
    Any assistance greatly appreciated.
    Kind regards

  • Has anyone ever heard of this happening?!

    Hi Everyone,
    If you set up a site definition as an FTP Server and then
    delete that definition, would it delete files?
    I've never heard of this...I thought site definitions were
    really just a link to files...can someone please advise?
    See details below:
    I was working with a client today in DWMX 2004 on WinXP Home
    and she had about 4 different site definitions for the same site -
    each a different type of definition.
    ( She was trying to get her site defined on her own and
    didn't know what to do so she had tried each option.)
    Anyway, I had her delete one of her site definitions-which
    she had defined as an FTP Server--after that, she was unable to
    find the files that had been previously connected to that site
    definition. (The files had previously been located on her C Drive
    according to the paths in 'Open Recent'. )
    She asked me ' Will this delete my files?' and I responded
    'Nope, a site definition is just like a bookmark-so your files will
    remain where they are on your local machine'.
    Her files (even the ones showing in 'Open Recent' on the
    Welcome Screen) were nowhere to be found on her machine-we looked
    in her recycle bin too.
    Like I said, I never heard of this happening. I was assuming
    that she just had misplaced her files-but the 'Open Recent' paths
    seemed to be indicating that the files had once been right where
    she was expecting them to be.
    Please help--Thanks so much!
