Does 4g phone work with grandfathered in unlimited data plan?

I am out of contract (month-to-month service) with an unlimited data plan that is grandfathered in. I don't want a new contract, because I don't want to loose my unlimited data plan, so I'm going to buy a new smartphone for full price without contract. I've done this before, by simply activating the new phone online for free. My concern is that I am using a 3g phone, and most phones are 4g, so will a 4g phone work with my current data plan?
note: It is a $29.99/month fee for unlimited data (grandfathered in before 7/7/11)

My wife and i just upgraded our phones at a Best Buy and they changed our plan to a 2gig plan telling me that there was no unlimited plan. Do you have any idea why this is? I have had unlimited data plans for years now but it looks like i have been forced or tricked into getting a 2 gig plan. Any advise?
This is because Verizon has discontinued unlimited data plans UNLESS you pay full retail for your phone. If you notice, my last reply was from 1 year ago. Verizon's policy on unlimited data changed in, I believe, June of 2012 at which point unlimited was only kept if you paid full retail for a new phone and did not have to sign a new contract.
Now if you sign a new contract, you lose your unlimited data and have to choose from a tiered data plan starting at $30 for 2GB or switch to the Share Everything plan.

How long does it really take to get my unlimited data plan back?

So Wednesday morning I go into a local Verizon owned-and-operated store to buy a Galaxy S5 on installment plan, like I did for my GS4 a year ago. Get talked into an Edge phone plan and the More plan, and they get that unlimited data plan off my line as fast as possible and then find that I can't get Edge for another 3 weeks. So we revert the changes (in theory), less than half an hour after the original change.
So I'm just standing there reading twitter and waiting for them to fix the situation and get me back to where I was when I walked in. I was actually willing to go ahead and buy a GS5 on installment plan (as I'd wanted to when I came in), but they *really* did not want me to do that. They got the voice plan back, and put me on a 2GB plan (which is 1/3 of my average usage), telling me I'd be back on my unlimited plan with hotspot service "by the end of the business week."
Today as I'm checking at the end of the business week, no sign of my data plan or hotspot service. The folks on the social media team tell me that my service might be crippled for another 10 days while an offline team tries to fix what the folks in the store broke.
Am I really out of luck for two weeks? I got a GS5 on T-Mobile with 5GB of data, which will get me by... TMO didn't seem offended that I wanted a GS5. But if I have to "be careful" with my data (as the store manager put it) on Verizon for two weeks, I may as well forward the phone and power it off.
At least I know never to set foot in this particular Verizon store again... last year they wouldn't sell me a GS4 "in case someone came in and wanted to upgrade" so I went to another nearby location. If my plans get unbroken, I'll either go to that other location or check eBay for my GS5.

Think of this and be amazed. If Verizon is trying its best to get customers off unlimited data by any means possible, and quite frankly tell you once you purchase any device on subsidy or the Edge program you lose unlimited. Now the Worry Free Guarantee states within 14 days if you change your mind you can pay a $35 restocking fee, and go back to your old plan.
However they no longer offer unlimited data so they give you this line of it has to be set back manually (inactive price request) and then it gets denied. Then they say it has to be submitted again for approval and then it gets denied. So why have a worry free guarantee?
And think to yourself, a plan they can remove in minutes takes them weeks to give back? They don't give it back. Search the forum.
Good Luck

Twitter & Facebook Dosnt work with my full blackberry data plan .. ?

Hi Guys,
I buy new Blackberry Curve 9360,
Facebook & twitter applications Dosn't work in my Device,
" you are currently on a service plan that does not support this application, please contact to wifi network or contact your service provider to upgrade your data plan" this message show up, I am using a full plan
How can these apps work with 3G & EDGE ?
they work with wifi but not on mobile network
Thanjs

If you BIS service status is "Not Connected", I certainly wouldn't be able to send you a PIN message.
I recommend you call your mobile provider and ask if your plan has been removed from your account or something, because it isn't working, and isn't connected.
YOU can try these things:
1) Register HRT:     (OS5) Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > Scoll to any line entry and > press the Menu key > and then click Register Now.
2) Resend Service Books:   KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Hopefully that will get things going again for you!

Switching to an old Basic phone for a week.... will I lose my unlimited data plan?

I have a Droid Incredible. It sold on ebay sooner than anticipated. So I need to activate my old LG EnV until Jan 7th when I can upgrade to a new phone (because the Incredible will get shipped out first thing in the morning to my buyer, and I'll still need a phone for those 5 days in between!)
The LG EnV is not a smartphone. It does not require a data plan. Will my data plan get cancelled when I enable this phone? I have an unlimited data plan that I was grandfathered into. I don't want to lose it. When I get my Galaxy Nexus I plan to take advantage of my data plan!!! lol

Speaking from personal experience, my wife's Droid had become unuseable at one point and we had to activate an old dumbphone for her while waiting for the replacement. I posed the question several times about the unlimited data and the rep on the phone made a note on my account. After we got the replacement, the unlimited data was back on, and I had a reference just in case.

Does anyone have a Motorola T 501 speaker phone working with the I Phone 3G

Does anyone have a Motorola T 501 speaker phone working with the I Phone 3 G in the car? If you do? Can you tell me how I can answer the calls from the T501, and not have to answer from the iphone, as right now it doesn't seem to be working correctly, unless I am doing something wrong?
Thanks

I have the Motorola T505 speakerphone which I too am using. And no, it doesn't work correctly either. It seems I have to answer the iphone first and then the call is transferred to the speakerphone. I do end the calls with the speakerphone but that's it. I also found that the Motorola no longer announces the incoming call and I've lost certain voice commands.

I have an iPhone with an unlimited data plan. Is there a way to go online with a wifi only iPad using my phone for access?

I have an iPhone with an unlimited data plan. Is there a way to go online with a wifi only iPad using my phone for access?

If your iPhone cell carrier allows you to use Tethering, you can turn your iPhone into a wifi hotspot, then your iPad Air can connect to that for internet access. Not all cell carriers allow tethering without you signing up for additional fees/services. For example, AT&T in the US still has grandfathered "unlimited" data plans, but they do not allow tethering for those plans. With AT&T you need to switch to a Mobile Share plan (or a tiered plan if still available) to use tethering (legally).

Does Apple TV work with iPod Classic?

I was told by an Apple Store person on the phone that Apple TV will allow me to get my iPOd to work on the Tv I purchased the next day. Then I come to this website and it does not mention iPod Classic. DOes iPod Classic work with Apple TV? From my understanding Apple TV allows access to a person iTunes library and actually uses iTunes rather than the ipod. So I am not sure why it would not work with an iPod classic. Please advise.

Winston,
So what does this mean? You never stated weather or not IPOD Classic will work with Apple TV. It insinuates that Classic doesn't run with iOS, but doesn't state it. Why can't Steve's question have a yes or no answer? Do you work for Apple? Apple has a terrible reputation for not fulfilling implied functions. If it requires a lot of headache to make it work with Classic, then call it out clearly on the box.
To anyone who knows;
Is the answer "yes"......"no".......or "not without installing ?? application found ???"

I have an old iPhone 4 that finally stopped working. I have an unlimited data plan and want to keep it. When I called customer service, I was told like in the past that if you purchase the new phone at full price, you can keep your old plan. However, after some time on the phone i was told by the csr and supervisor that their system is not allowing them to complete the transaction without changing to a limited data plan. I was told to try going to a store and buy the phone. Same thing happened. Has Verizon changed something and not told their employees?

Seems like people having this problem are those coming from a phone that doesn't have a nano SIM card...so when Verizon issues them one they end up changing their plan. No clue why this keeps happening but stay on top of them. As long as you initiated the request for your plan to be reinstated within the 14 day time frame they should put it back. Interested in seeing how this plays out. There is still one phone in my house that hasn't been upgraded (an iPhone 4). I'm hoping when we do upgrade it at full retail they won't mess with her unlimited data plan

Does Firefox sync work with my iPhone?

Does Firefox sync work with my iPhone 5c?

We don't have an iPhone app due to Apple's restrictive app store rules.
You can contact your mobile phone operator or Apple for specific features of your iPhone.

Call AppleCare and tell them you just want to know if your iPhone is unlocked and if not, who is it locked with. If it is locked contact the cell provider and ask them what their unlock process is and complete it if you qualify.

Does Quicken 2007 work with Mavericks?

Does Quicken 2007 work with Mavericks? I'm holding off upgrading my wife's system to Maveicks until I know Quicken 2007 still works with it. She uses Quicken all the time.

IJC9 wrote:
I called Intuit. They told me that Quicken 2007 (16.1.4 - the upgrade for Mountain Lion) would work in a limited capacity on Mavericks - but that they would neither guarantee this, nor support it. They said that it should work for simple tasks like checkbook balancing/ writing checks, etc. but that it will probably NOT work for online banking or coordination with credit cards or investment tracking, etc.
Well that is a direct contradiction to what they say on their website.

"Is Quicken Supported on Mavericks?
Updated: 10/23/2013 | Article ID: GEN8597
Apple released their latest operating system, OS X 10.9 (code named Mavericks). Lion Compatible Quicken for Mac 2007 (16.1.4) and Quicken Essentials Mac (1.7.4) are fully supported on OS X 10.9.
There are four known minor issues confirmed to occur with Quicken Essentials for Mac running OS X 10.9"
So I call bullhockey nonsense on your phone call to Intuit. And I am using Quicken 2007 16.1.4 on my iMac running OS X Mavericks and it works without issues. Everything works. Notice the "fully supported" statement? Misinformation is rampant on the Internet. Phone calls to tech support are iffy at best. They rarely know what is going on.
QUICKEN 2007 16.1.4 WORKS JUST FINE ON MAVERICKS. HOW DO I KNOW FOR SURE? I AM USING IT MYSELF!

Does creative cloud work with windows 8

does creative clould work with windows 8?. I see windows 7 as a minimum requirement with no mention of windows 8

lewis0,
Welcome to Adobe Community .
Minimum requirements means that you have to have these as the minimum configuration to install the Adobe Products . You can surely go ahead and install the product on a windows 8 PC and it should work fine.

For people with an unlimited data plan...does it slow down for you after 2GB?

Ive had my unlimited data plan since i joined AT&T back in 2008 when i bought the iPhone 3G...ive been able to keep it for my current iPhone 4 and now ill be upgrading to iPhone 5 and was wondering if anyone else with an unlimited data plans suffers slowing down of data after 2GB? it mite b more than 2GB but it def does slow down...will this continue to happen or it is it just me?

AT&T's policy explained - http://www.att.com/esupport/datausage.jsp?source=IZDUel1160000000U
Click the "what you need to know". If you exceed 3GB you will be throttled, and you should receive a text message about it the first time you go over.

I would like to buy an iPhone for my friend in Iceland. Two questions: will the phone work with complete utility in Iceland, and if so, what should I do to confirgure it while in the USA so that it can have full utility in Iceland?

Bad idea. There are no supported iPhone carriers in Iceland, thus some features may or may not work. Further, there will be no warranty or support for a US purchased iPhone in Iceland...your friend will be on their own. If you still want to go down this road, make sure you purchase an officially unlocked iPhone(GSM model) directly from Apple.

Does apple tv work with hdmi to VGA hd15 cable?

I have a Phillips tv and there is no hdmi to hdmi connection. But there is a VGA 15 input. Does apple tv work with it? I seem to be getting a black screen.

I tried hard. Four different manufacturers, including Belkin, none of HDMI to VGA works with rMBP. However, all of them work with other sources, like Dell notebook.
HDMI directly from rMBP to HDMI intput works fine.
