Burning through data plan!?

Since updating my phone to iOS 5 I've been unknowingly burning through all of my 2Gb data plan without doing anything different, why?

Does he watch ANY movies like youtube while on 3G? Is he connected to the wifi when at home? The web surfing will skyrocket if that includes any videos. I'd also assume that the games are sending info over the web.

  • What's burning through data after only 3 days?

    Hi all, I'm a VERY recent iPhone convert - as in I just bought mine Friday night - and it looks as if I've already used 530mb of data??? I'm definitely a very responsible data user - especially since I only have a 2GB plan on Verizon - but I cannot fathom how I've already gone through 1/4 of my usage in barely 3 days. I'm guessing there's some setting I'm unaware of, like location services maybe?
    Help? Anyone?

    Go thru your settings like location services and turn off stuff you don't always need. If you have email set it so you fetch it instead of it being pushed to you. Go to settings, privacy, location services, scroll all the way down to system services and turn off stuff there, i only have cell network search and compass calibration on, if i use the phone for navigation i might turn on traffic there. Notifications as well, check thru those.

  • This isn't a question but rather a warning to anyone using the new OS for iphone 4.  The imessage uses up your data plan like crazy.  I called Apple about it and they said no it's not doing it.  I called AT

    The new OS is burning through my data plan like crazy and here's why.  Imessage uses your data plan and not your texting plan.  So every time you send a text message to someone with an iphone it uses imessage and it uses your data, not your text plan.  I couldn't figure out why I was burning through so much of my data plan so quickly.  I called Apple and they said, no it's not the data plan doing it.  I called AT&T and they said, yes, the imessage uses data instead of your texting plan if you are texting to another iphone.  Also, the new OS runs your apps all the time, even when you aren't using them.  So if you are not near wifi your apps are running and burning your data plan.  The AT&T guy took me through the steps to turn off the apps.  You can still use them but they won't be running constantly.  Seriously Apple, you should let people know this.  It does say it in the fine print on the website "data rates may apply" under imessage but most people will never read this.  So my data plan started on October 10th and it's already at 175 megabytes and I only have a 200 megabyte plan.  I've never used more than 50 to 75 megabytes in a month.  Apple get it together and be honest with people and tell them.  Quit denying the problem.  Most people have probably not even discovered this yet.  Wait till you get your bill.

    It's not really common knowledge because I've talked to several people today and none of them knew about it.  Also, when I called Apple they said no the new OS is not using data.  Totally wrong answer.  You'd think they'd know about it and at least tell people.  The people who are going to be hit by this are people like me with the 200mb plans.  I just think it's best to spread the word so people can know what's happening.  I still don't know how I went through so much data in such a short period of time.  It's not happening anymore though, not since I fixed everything up last night. 
    If you are using a free wifi connection, there are no data charges with iMessage.  But in an area where you did NOT have a wifi connection, of course it used 3G and of course you got charged for it (or had it count against your plan limits).
    I'll ask again - without a wifi connection, just what did you think was happening?  How did you think your iPhone was able to magically send a message WITHOUT using any data connection?  A little bit of rational thought would have made you realize that there was no way, over a 3G connection (which is a service provided by your cellular service provider, NOT Apple), that you can send or receive ANYTHING without your service provider's plan picking it up.
    Nothing abut iMessage has ever hinted that it can, in any way, bypass your service provider when NOT using a wifi connection.

  • I am trying to download the new episode of Game of Thrones on my iPad. We are currently travelling in Italy and have an unlimited pre- paid data plan with the Italian carrier Wind.  When I try download the episode through iTunes I get an error message

    Hi there, traveling through Italy with my iPad. Purchased a unlimited prepaid data plan with Italian carrier WIND.  Has been working excellent, but when I try to download a new episode of Game of Thrones, I get an error message which says that I have to connect to a wi fi network or download the episode on my MacBook.  Why can't I download using the microsim and prepaid data plan?  Any help will be great thank you!

    Unfortunately downloads larger than 20mbps require wifi due to most carriers having data limits. This "requirement" keeps people who are not familiar with data and what takes up a lot of data from going over.

  • HT4157 I have an iPhone with a data plan through AT&T.  I just got an iPad.  Do I need to set up a separate data plan, or can I use my iPad under the plan I have set up for my iPhone?

    I just got an iPad, and am trying to figure out how to get it going.  I have an iPhone with a data plan through AT&T.  Do I need to set up a separate account for the iPad, or can I use it under my existing data plan?

    You need a completely different data plan for your iPad which you set up on the device itself and it is billed to a credit/debit card. You cannot share other plans and the iPad account will not appear on your iPhone or any other AT&T account.

  • Does texting on imessage through free wifi charge you if you don't have a text messaging or data plan?

    Ok so I just got a new iphone 4s that's factory unlocked & I was wondering if you texted someone through imessage on wifi, will that charge you any money?
    If the person doesn't have imessage? And if they do? Because I don't have a text messaging or data plan.

    But what if I don't use the data plan for imessage and use wifi instead?
    If you are using wifi, you are not using a data plan. You will not be charged.
    And you cannot send SMS over wifi. You can only send iMessages (to people with Macs/iDevices and iMessage enabled).
    I was wondering if you texted someone through imessage on wifi, will that charge you any money?
    Messages is the app.
    iMessage is type of message that goes over wifi or cell data.
    Open the Messages app and add a phone number or appleID, the line to enter you message will display Text Message (and a green Send button) or iMessage (and a blue Send button).
    If it's a text message (green) it will be sent as SMS and you will be charged, even if you are on wifi.
    If it's an iMessage (blue) and you are on wifi, it will be sent over wifi (no charge).
    If it's an iMessage (blue) and you are NOT on wifi, it will be sent over cell data or sent as an SMS.

  • My IPad is not showing in wifi networks.  I have purchased a data plan through AT

    How do I get my IPad to show up in wifi networks?  I purchased a data plan and have looked through settings but cannot find even using other networks setup.

    Wifi is not the same as a cellular data plan.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Still have unlimited data plan?

    If you have been a responsible user like me and have not abused the "unlimited" data plan and are now given the choice of buying full price phones or getting the 2GB downgrade I have a question for you.  Since you are being treated like you are part of the problem why not become part of it?  I didn't, until now, stream videos or movies but since I have unlimited data I started.  I don't even care what the movie is as long as it is HD so it hogs more data.  I will do it until they kick me out as a customer. 
    My data usage is normally less than 2gb but going up.  I didn't anticipate ever using over 5 or 6GB in the next year or so but that is dependent on new applications.  Garmin now has smartlink for live traffic updates that uses data, I don't know how much it may use and before I didn't care.  I have had unlimited data since it was first offered.  I didn't do the videos and movies because I thought that if I burn through 60 to 100GB a month it would surely come to an end.  Stupid on my part!  How dare I think Verizon would give a **** about me for trying keep my data usage down but still pay for the unlimited just in case I went over.  So my reward is getting told they are doing me a favor by simplifying the plan by limiting my data to 2GB.  Or I pay full retail for a phone and keep unlimited data.  Or I keep the same phone and keep unlimited data.
    So now I have a new plan, stream HD movies anytime that it is possible.  Buy old Razr's on Ebay and keep my unlimited data and burn all the data I can.  I am writing to the Public Service Commission of Nebraska regarding this and the regular poor customer service that I just quit complaining about in the past.  If they get enough complaints the Legislature will reintroduce the bill to give the State regulatory authority over the wireless carriers.  Will it fix anything?  Probably not but it will be another thorn in Verizon's side.  I will say anytime the State has gotten involved, even thought they have no authority, Verizon has fixed the issue because they DON'T WANT OVERSIGHT!
    If you feel you have been slighted on the unlimited data plan write to your States Public Service Commission.  If they get enough complaints the wireless companies will have to deal with regulatory authority.  What are they going to do, raise the bill some more?  If so Walmart offers a cheap flip phone from Straight talk.  Not the best deal but still better than giving your money monthly to a company that hates it customers and looks for every opportunity to fleece them for every dime they can.

  • View Account irregularity on iPad 2 using 3G data plan

    I have a 64GB iPad 2 + 3G. I do not have access to wifi. I rely on 3G only from Verizon.
    Noticed something weird the last two days. When I went to View Account in Settings, it stated I had 0 MBs left for the next twenty days.
    I had also received an email earlier stating I only had 2 percent of my data plan left for the month.
    Yet, I am still able to access this site and others right now. Normally when my data plan is exhausted prior to the 30-day expiration date, I have no access until the my plan automatically renews or I add more data sooner. I get 1GB per thirty-day period for $20.
    So, either the 0 MBs stated in View Account is wrong and I actually have data remaining, or there is a glitch allowing me 3G without me having to add data.
    If it is some error, I am wondering if my carrier will turn around and bill me for using data that I have not been charged for. I guess that would only be fair. But I did not ask for the extra data yet. I usually wait until the next renewal date. Has anyone else had this situation? To be safe I may stop using it until my renewal date comes up again.
    Also, I have seen some posts from iPad+ 3G users saying they will use wifi mostly and 3G only when needed. I think I read that the carrier will cancel the iPad's capability for 3G if you go more than one month without buying data? So, if a user were to use 3G in February and not use it again until June, he wouldn't be able to use the 3G capability any longer? Has this happened to you? Just curious in the event I want to take a long break from automatic renewal of my 3G plan to save money. Thanks.

    This happens also on my iPhone 3GS as well. The problem with Apple's WI-FI implementation is that, it will say it is connected to WI-FI but if it's not getting any DHCP information from your router, the internet is routed through your 3G connection until routing information is established! Secondly, the iPad's WI-FI performance is less than stellar compared to my 3GS phone. Thirdly, TURN OFF notification and location based functions! They are data suckers! My Virgin Mobile MIFI $10 data plan, which is about 100Mb, the iPad sucked the bloody bandwidth in a mere 3 hrs! Best to turn off the 3G data function until you need it.
    Which is why, I never got the 3G version of the iPad unless I have a wallet full of cash to burn.

  • Data plans in the new wireless world

    I see an impending collapse of many peoples internet service approaching soon and very little discussion on the topic, so I decided to write this to help inform Verizon of some of its customers needs.
           What originally attracted me to Verizon was its effort to push beyond the big markets and reach all of America. Create a country where everyone is "connected". Join Verizon and we will take care of you no matter where you live. These are the ideas Verizon has pushed onto people over the years and I commend them on doing a very good job at reaching these goals. The issue is, they have acquired such a large customer base it is now creating problems. An excellent marketing tactic of wireless service providers was always to offer up unlimited data plans to attract people to their service and this used to create very little risk for the service provider because wireless data was slower the telegraph!! Cellular providers used to sell phones, now they sell computers. Have they adjusted to this new market accordingly?
           When you had a 3G phone or even back when it was 2G or 1XX paying extra for unlimited data was pointless. As Verizon's CFO recently pointed out "Unlimited is just a word" "people don't use near the data they think they do" this is exactly why they could profit from unlimited data in the past, because this was true. Have you ever tried to stream a hi-def movie on 3G service? you were lucky if it wasn't pausing to buffer every 10 secs, what did you do every time this happened, you stopped trying to watch it!! Therefore you didn't use the data required to stream that content. Now just when wireless technology is finally becoming fast enough to be useful or enjoyable, it is being shut down.
           The new 4G LTE services have finally made it possible to reach 8-10 MB download speeds on regular basis. You can stream a full 1080 hi-def Blu-ray quality movie with 7.1 surround sound if your internet connection speed is over 5 MB. This sounds great doesn't it, finally I can watch SyFy, Hulu or Vudu with my aircard. This is the problem Verizon is facing, because that one 90 minute movie from Vudu at 1080 hi-def just sucked up 5 GB!!  No that was not a typo, full hi-def streaming video will push 4-5 GB in a couple hours. Verizon had to curtail this "excessive" data usage by reverting to tiered plans or "shared data"  so with the new data plans that was a $50 movie, at that price you would once again stop watching it and not use the data required to stream that content.
           Verizon broadband could not handle this volume of data being used when people started getting 4G internet service, so they had no choice but to end unlimited plans or be faced with the reality that they could not support there millions of customers data usage. For most people this will not create a big issue because they probably still live somewhere that they have access to other internet services such as DSL, Cable, or the best at Fiber Optic. DSL and cable will usually have a plan that creates fast enough internet speeds for streaming video but you will have to pay for a premium service.
           This however does create a step backwards, in what seemed like a step forward for the rural community. 3G unlimited aircard was a great option for rural community's, finally offering them an affordable internet service that often could still play Netflix, as well as all the normal uses such as e-mail and browsing, although it would not stream a 1080 hi-def movie it could at times stream a standard-def movie. Now with unlimited going out the window all those people that thought it was going to be so great to upgrade to a 4G aircard and finally watch movies, quickly realized that wasn't going to happen and worse Verizon is showing signs of completely eliminating all unlimited data as they course through their contracts looking for legal ways to stop honoring them, and for those that they can not stop honoring they have started to "throttle" usage when it exceeds a certain amount usually around 2 GB a month. This is perfectly legal to do, almost all ISP's will do this this when you exceed a certain amount of data, the difference is when your ISP offers 8 MB connection speeds and throttles you down to 5 MB speeds because you use a lot of data, you never really notice it unless you download media instead of streaming it and your downloads seem to take longer then normal but it doesn't effect you enough to complain. When your internet speeds are 1-2 MB as they are with 3G service, throttling brings you down to 300-600 KBPS!! They will throttle your speed down so much that you can't do much of anything except e-mail and browsing, Netflix will not work anymore, so thinking you can stay with a 3G device and just keep what you have isn't an option. They are forcing everyone into new plans. 
           In the past it was very hard to use 10 GB of data on a wireless carriers broadband because speeds were to slow to allow use of all the online media. Now it is very easy to use 60 GB a month if you like movies and online TV. (That is 60 GB without downloading any media just streaming it) Perhaps if we are lucky Verizon will once again return to the table and look for ways to help their rural customers without taking are internet away from us. If I could pay for DSL from my local phone company I would, but I do not even have a phone line tied to my house, and if I decided to get one it still would not have internet access. But due to Verizon's efforts in expanding there 4G service across the country as quickly as possible I do have excellent 4G wireless service available in my home. Just as I thought it was time to get a Verizon aircard and start watching movies again, they told me you will never be able to afford it. 
          If Verizon can create a rural community data plan for users that have no other means to access the internet and and it doesn't cost $600 a month then I will happily buy it, and also understand that it cannot cost $30 a month either, but if people could get, Phone, Internet (with say 50 GB limit), TV (by tv I don't mean Verizon TV that I agree should be an addition to the bill, i mean the free hulu, syfy and payed netflix accounts that are accessible with any internet connection fast enough to stream), Movie Store in their living room (Vudu) all in one package I think that $200 a month is a reasonable price.
         Now all I can do is wait and see who calls first. If Verizon creates a new data plan that allows media streaming at a reasonable price ill buy it. If my Local phone company offers me high speed internet and phone first, ill buy that instead and throw my current $140 month Verizon bill in the trash when I end the contract. I will not have 2 phones, I only have a Verizon phone because I have no Land line in my home. So I guess the race is on to see who can maintain the rural community's business.

    What about Via Sat Exede satellite? 12 Mbps down and 3 Mbps up
    25GB $130
    Free data midnight to 5 am
    Hook up VoIP phone and you got close to what you are asking, depending if you are a night owl or not.

  • How to put two devices on one Data plan?

    I've had my phon with a 2gb Data plan for about a year and just recently bought a Jetpack with a 6gb Data plan to replace my original and be shared between the two.
    A month later I get my bill and find im still being charged for both. I kind of expect this seeing as I didn't buy the new plan when my original bill was scheduled for payment.
    Two months after, Im still paying for both. And what's worse, Im being overcharged with my phone Data plan because I had thought I had more Data to use.
    I've tried going back to the retailer, but the just directed me to contact Verizon. I've made very many attempts to contact Verizon, to no avail. Whether it be through calling, Chat, forums, anything. I can't find any direct email for customer support. I am angry and very unhappy with the service. 
    Any suggestions on either getting in contact with Verizon (my available calling hours never seem to match up with theirs) or fixing it myself if possible. Thank you.

    If you're on the old Nationwide plans data between devices can not be shared. You need to be on Share Everything to share Data. Of course if you didn't become a Verizon customer until after June 28th 2012 you SHOULD be on Share Everything.
    For the record a Share Everything plan with a smartphone a jetpack and 8 GB of data would be $150 plus taxes/fees

  • How to handle large library, limited data plan

    I've been using Itunes Match for about six months now, and I'm having problems...
    I live rurally and so I use an AT&T hotspot with a 10 gig/month data plan for my phone, ipad, and desktop mac. My wireless connection speed is pretty good.
    I have about 15000 tracks in my Itunes library, most not purchased through Itunes.
    When I signed up for Match and went through the initial process, it took about 24 hours and used up about six gig, which caused a significant overage in my data plan. Consequently, I just use Match on my Mac and decided not to use it on my other devices because of the data limitations. My motivation to use it currently is as a back up for my music. I connect my phone to my mac manually to transfer some of my music to my phone.
    I figured that the data overuse problem was a one time deal if I didn't use my other devices.
    But recently, when I purchase a song from emusic or Amazon, the icloud processing image pops up after the download purchase is complete. Itunes will then start the process of sending data to Amazon, which was still going at 4 hours yesterday when I manually stopped it as I saw my data plan being used up. It seemed to restart the process of sending periodically and never got to the analyzing or returning data stages.
    Now my recently purchased music shows up with both the Icloud processing symbol and a faded download icloud icon, one for each separate track. I can play the "processing" track, but Itunes won't allow me to add it to a playlist. Further, if I'm online with my hotspot, sometimes the regular Itunes Icon is visible, but at other times the icon with the thunderbold through it. I'm guessing this means it's streaming with the first icon, playing from my harddrive with the second.
    So a couple of questions, and sorry for the length, I'm a first-time support user
    1) Does it make sense to use Match with such a large library, and limited data plan?
    2) "Where" is the music I've purchased - on my computer or in the cloud?
    3) Should it take all day to send data to itunes, when the only updates to my library are songs I've deleted and a handful of new albums I purchased.
    4) Am I using up my data plan when the regular Icloud Icon appears and I'm online? Is there a way to manually play from the hardrive to reduce use of my data plan? I turned off Match once and payed with a half-day sending and receiving session when I turned it back on.
    4) Will I lose music if I unsubscribe from Match?
    Thanks to anybody who has the inclination to respond to any of these questions!

    This datasource sends After images in delta loads which is compatible with loading to a Std DSO only. You cannot load from this datasource directly to a cube.
    You can check with business the number of years they would need history. If they need for 5 years, you could delete data older than that or Archive.
    For GL, there would not be any changes to years that are closed for posting. There may be adjustments carried out for the previous fiscal year. I guess there would not be any changes to years prior to that. So archiving old data should not affect delta.

  • Will I lose my unlimited date plan if...

    I am currently using a family members upgrade in order to switch to the iPhone 5. I am not upgrading on my account because I don't have an upgrade. I am simply switching phones. So will I still lose my unlimited data plan? The policy states that customers upgrading to a 4G LTE device will lose their plan. But again, I'm not actually upgrading...just transferring my number to a a new device.

        Hi there KM536986 and community!
    Getting the new iPhone 5 is super exciting! This would be considered "providing your own equipment" if you bring the phone from an outside source, such as another account.
    This means you will not lose your Unlimited Data plan.  Keep in mind that the warranty provided through us directly doesn't transfer, but Apple still provides warranty for the year you have the phone. 
    Let us know if you have any other questions!
    Thanks,

  • How do I get Verizon to honor unlimited data plan stated on receipt?

    I was among those who upgraded their phones during the "glitch" that allowed customers to keep their unlimited data plans. Our two new iPhone 5s' arrived this week, along with receipts for each that, as far as I can tell, maintain our unlimited data plan.
    When I called to activate the phones, the rep told me he couldn't guarantee we would keep the unlimited plans after activation, and the activation (along with the potential change to the 2GB plan) was irreversible. I asked to speak to a supervisor, who told me we still have the option for unlimited data and that it was just our luck of the draw. I took this to mean we lucked out with the glitch. However, when the rep got back on the line he said the supervisor meant that when he (the rep) activates our phones, it will kick us to the 2GB plan, and he may be able to switch us back to the unlimited if he acts fast enough, but it was no guarantee (hence "luck of the draw"). I decided to not act just yet and got off the phone.
    So, is the rep pulling my leg? I understand I got to this point through what was later revealed to be a glitch, but I thought Verizon stated to the press they would honor the orders, not to mention I have receipts showing the new phones and our current plan that we've had for years.
    How should I proceed with this? Thanks for any help.

    Fortunately in all my dealings with the court system "written" takes a great sway over intent. You have someone sell you a service and they write this order is final with the additions etc. Then on the day the goods or services are provided the company states this was not supposed to be agreed to (intent) the contract is based on what was written and agreed to.
    I am presently locked into a simular situation now with a home improvement contractor. On the contract it stated the job must be completed no later than October 13, 2013 or sooner. Its signed by them and us. Now they missed the contract date, they are claiming the agent for the company had no right to do so. They keep pushing the date further and further away.
    Went a filed a court claim for the large money we paid plus simple interest on the amount. Also found another company who will do the job now at a cost $4,000.00 more than the other company. In my state the court can grant me either as relief. Also not doing the job is criminal in nature so we can file a police complaint for grand larceny. Bad business practice.
    Evidently the company was served with the summons last week. Since they called and said the work will be done complete Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
    They have to honor what was written. Same thing with Verizon via their press release.
    I remember years ago an online retailer had a typo in their ad, the price should have been $250 but the printed ad said $25 in that case the companies ad had a disclaimer which said not responsible for typographical errors. In this case verizon had no such disclaimer at the check out process.

  • No international data plan for one year-???

    Here is the background.  I moved over to Verizon about 4 months ago from Alltel.  I did this because I wanted to be able to have a blackberry with international BBm'ing.  I did not go with ATT because there coverage was spotty in my area.  Since the move, I would say my Alltel coverage was 3x better then the cuurent verizon in my house even with the network extender ( BB don't work well with network extender compare to droids, according to the VZW reps).  I did not stay with Alltel because they did not have the storm2.  I needed 6 lines and a mifi and the local verizon rep told me no problem that they could do one primary line and 5 additonal line plus the mifi but after I signed up they realized that I maxed out at 5 lines on one account and they made me make my 6th line a primary line and then added the mifi to the 2nd account.  More costs per month.  Within a month of having my VZW account, one of my kid went to China and we were able to add the international data plan for her trip so she could BBM us.  No problems.
    Here is the problem.  I am going abroad in 2 days and would like to put the international data plan on 2 phones for the trip.  The rep says he cannot do becaue the polciies have changed with the "xerox" buyout and they won't let me do it for the following reasons.
    1.  I have not had my phones for more than one year even though I paid a deposit on them
    2. I have 7 lines on one account- not true I have one account with 1 primary line and 4 additional lines and I have another account with one primary line and the mifi account.  they are all billed on the same statement.  If they are all "one account" then VZW owes me a refund on the 2nd account's primary line as they cannot have it both ways. 
     We came to verizon for the purpose of BBM’ing when going international and now we cannot use it.  I am paying over $500.00 a month and have not been late on any payments, paid a deposit on the phones, am paying for 2 primary lines and did this a few weeks ago for my daughter and now I cannot add the international option again for a week of vacation abroad?  This is really upsetting and pretty much the last straw if it does not get resolved before this trip.  I should have stayed at Alltel or went to ATT and got an I phone because this is no better.    The rep I talked too was bedeviled by this policy and went two levels up in supervisors and was denied.  They are supposed to call me to resolve this issue tonight or in the morning.

    Update:
    I got a call from my local rep at the store where I bought all the phones.  She said they called corporate and all blocks on my international data plan have been removed?  I will stop by this afternoon and confirm that it has all been done???? I still cannot believe how many hoops I will have had to jump through to get this done as it was done 2 months ago, if it actually gets done.
    If it does not get done then i will be requesting to be let out of my contract for breach of contract on Verizon's part as it was never told to me that I could not have international service for one year after signing up and we were able to do it within a month of signing up initially.  Will post updates
