Enterprise Data Plan necessary?

Is it necessary to have the AT&T Enterprise Data Plan for the iPhone 4 to send/receive e-mails and calendar from Exchange Server at work?

No

  • Enterprise Data Plan required for Exchange Active Sync?

    From:
    http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/specials/iphone-info.jsp
    "What is the Enterprise Data plan?
    Customers interested in using iPhone to access corporate email, business applications or corporate intranet will activate with an Enterprise Data Plan for iPhone."
    So, if I have a normal $30 data plan will I be able to connect to my companies Exchange server with email/contacts/calendar push? Is there really a way AT&T could prevent me from using the Exchange Active Sync on the iPhone 3G without the Enterprise data plan?
    I'm just a regular guy who works at a small company and would like my personal cell phone - used 99% of the time for personal needs - to be able to access my work email/calendar/contacts.

    Ok, so I went by the AT&T store this afternoon to pre-approve my credit in order to save time on the 11th. Well, turns out it won't help, because they told me they are going to have to run a special iPhone credit check the day you buy it anyway, so it is pointless to get pre-approved (great job AT&T).
    But, back to the subject at hand, they gave me this piece of paper with all this info on getting ready for the iPhone. Under the iPhone for business heading, it reads:
    "It's easy to set up your iPhone for business use on company intranet sites, corporate email or other business applications. SIMPLY SELECT ANY BUSINESS VOICE RATE PLAN and add a $45 Enterprise Data plan for iPhone..."
    To me, this would mean that you would have to start with a base business plan, then add the iPhone Enterprise data. Well, if you are an individual opening a personal account, can you even sign up for a business plan? If this is the case, then their own literature prevents you from even getting the Enterprise plan if you wanted to. It seems to me that the would be proof that you don't HAVE to have the Enterprise plan to use ActiveSync, Exchange, etc.

  • Register with BES server without Enterprise data plan

    I read on this forum that there is a few ways to register with your company's BES even if you have the standard 29.99 data plan. The limitation is that you have to be connected to your company's lan, and perform the registration while on the lan.
    In order to register remotely, you must purchase the 44.99 enterprise data plan, which I do not want to do.
    Both verizon support and my helpdesk is telling me they can't do it, but I found instructions on this. Can it be done? Am I missing something?
    http://support.opt3.com/KB/a45/activate-blackberry-using-blackberry-enterprise-server.aspx

    Hi,
    To answer your question, it can not be done unless you have the BES plan added to your account, which is currently $44.99/month.  If I read the article you mentioned in your post correctly, it states the following:
    Note: BlackBerry smartphones cannot be activated over the wireless network or the organization's Wi-Fi® network if they have a data plan for BlackBerry Internet Service only.
    I read that as if you have a Blackberry that is currently on a data plan (BIS), the regular individual data plan, you can not activate your device.  Hope this helps,
    Doc

  • Enterprise Data plan nessicary?

    i run an exchange (2007) e-mail server out of my house for my personal and photography hobbies.

    No

  • IPhone Exchange Syncing without Enterprise Data

    I just got my iPhone 3G yesterday and I have not yet activated the enterprise data plan on my ATT account, however I can still setup my phone to use exchange and it is working great. Is anyone else experiecing this?

    The type of data plan you have does not affect the use of exchange .

  • Good for Enterprise App - Personal Data Plan

    I am hearing mixed message from vzw, I have an iPhone and said I need to pay 65.00 for 4gb plan
    Basically 15 more than my normal tiered 4gb data plan

        Let's make sure that you have the correct information knguyentu. There is an additional $15 fee for Good Mobile Messaging service since this connects to a company-based server. Please see number 22 here: http://bit.ly/P3ULwl.

  • Necessary data plan?

    Ok i have a Lg chocolate touch now..only texting and calling no data... and i'm planning to switch to a blackberry. At first i wanted a Droid Incredible but from hearing about the expensive data plan i didn't want it anymore. I hear that there is a possibility that you can get a blackberry witout data plan. I just want texting and calling in the blackberry, is tht possible? Can i convince customer service to just give me texting and calling and no data? Ik for all smartphones it requires to have data i'm just rly curious if it's possible to have texting and calling in the blackberry i hear u could. Thx!

    It's not possible to activate or use a BlackBerry without a data plan. However, you can add the $15/150MB plan if you don't want the $30 unlimited plan.

  • Data Plans and Activation

    I know that there is absolutely no way around this; I am merely using a forum run by Verizon (and supposedly read by Verizon staff) to issue a complaint where it should be made.
    About six months ago, it was time to upgrade my phone.  My sister had an enV3, which she loved (more accurately: still loves), and which fully fit the three criteria I like in a phone: it texts, it calls, and it has a reasonable resolution w/r/t taking pictures (I'm not a huge picture taker, that's why I prefer my phone to have a reasonable camera installed, although it certainly isn't necessary).  Naturally, I wanted to get an enV3, but was told that I would have to pay $10 a month for a data plan.  I do not use my phone for internet access.  I do not use my phone for applications (except for backup assistant, which hardly qualifies as an application that should be paid for).  I have no reason for a data package.  And yet, what my sister was able to get with no added package, I would have had to get the monthly package.  Upgrading to an actual phone whose data capabilities would be truly useful, such as a Droid, would require a $25 a month package. 
    So, I chose the Samsung Intensity, because, frankly... I'm a college student; the $10 a month is better spent elsewhere.  As a college student, though, accidents happen.  I will preface the fact that I abstain from partying, alcohol, and drugs, so I managed to destroy my own phone with all of my mental capacities intact, so yes, it was my own idiocy that led to the destruction of my phone.
    My family, however, has a reasonable collection of phones which we replaced with newer models as upgrades came around.  I'm currently blessed with the use of an LG that was made before 2005.  One can, hopefully, understand that I would prefer the use of a phone that accepts a Sim Card.  We had two LG phones from 2008 (sorry, I can't remember the model number at the exact moment... suffice to say that they were relatively high quality phones) which I would have gladly used, except for the fact that the particular design of the phone causes the hinge to break, and in both phones, the hinges were broken (I'm not the only one with this problem; two friends of mine who are much more careful with their phones than I had hinge problems with the same model... our two phones merely managed to break right after their warranty expired).  Actually, the manufacturing defect in the hinges was what caused me to have to upgrade phones... I would have gladly gone another two years with my original phone had Verizon decided to start manufacturing phones that don't break just because you open it on a regular basis to make calls or to text. 
    To make that long digression mean anything, our family also has an old LG Touch... a phone which Verizon quickly pulled off the shelves due to the fact that it received horrible reviews on.  I would love to activate this phone with my number, but upon attempting to do so, Verizon forces the addition of a $10 monthly data plan.  To a phone that we have had for about 2 years and which upon purchasing we were not required to have a data package for. 
    The Verizon data package plan is, I assume, a great idea... if you *want* to use it.  Forcing someone who wants a phone to pay money for features that they do not want to deal with is not ok.  Forcing someone to buy a data package when they bought the phone before data packages were required is not ok.  Come to think of it: building phones that break down a month after their warranty has expired is not indicative of a company that actually cares about its customers, either.  These data packages should remain optional.  I promise Verizon that, the moment I am independent and able to choose my own phone plan, I will immediately take my business elsewhere unless the data package requirement is rescinded.  It doesn't matter whether or not the other company requires the data package... my family has been loyal to this company for upwards of 8 years.  Any customer who has been with a company for that long deserves better than having to suddently upgrade to a phone similar in capabilities to a previous one and pay extra for a service which is not wanted.  Any person who has been with Verizon since before the data package requirement was instituted should not have to deal with this.  Realistically, any person who chooses Verizon Wireless, even after the requirement came in force, does not deserve treatment of this nature.
    On that note, anyone working towards getting around the $10 a month plan?  I'd be willing to give a donation of $10 a month the the cause.

    I completely agree!  I want a decent phone with camera and camcorder  to use for calling and texting without having to pay even the $9.99 data plan.  All of the providers want to force everyone into paying these extra fees.  It's not enough to pay for the services you use every month.  They want you to have to pay for the ones you don't as well.  I do not desire and WILL NOT pay for a data plan!

  • If I buy a used iPhone 4 without a data plan will the GPS work?

    I live in Canada and am a complete newbie when it comes to cell phones and data plans. I am not interested in having or paying for cellular telephone capability.
    I've been using the 64 Gb iPod Touch 4 but detest its 0.7 Mb still camera and bemoan its lack of GPS.
    Now that the iPhone 4S has been released, there are many folks selling their older iPhone 4s. I'd love to use one of these older iPhone units with their better camera and GPS capability, but don't want to pay for a data plan, nor am I willing to pay $850 for an unlocked iPhone 4S. I'm happy to continue using wireless internet and don't need a cell phone.
    Being a newbie when it comes to data plans and cell phones, if I purchase a used iPhone 4 from someone:
    1. Does it need a SIM card (activated or not) to use the GPS on it? If yes, must a deactivated SIM card be provided by the seller or where can I obtain one?
    2. Does the iPhone 4 need to be on a cellular plan to use the GPS?
    3. I can use a deactivated iPhone 4 on WiFi only as I've been doing with the iPod Touch 4, correct?
    4. If I can use a deactivated, non-contract iPhone 4 on WiFi only, will the GPS work and allow me to use GPS-enabled apps? If yes, does it somehow still "tie"into available local cell networks to achieve a position without me paying for (or being registered for) cellular access?
    5. Can future iOS upgrades (say to iOS5) still be performed on a deactivated iPhone 4 without a cell plan?
    6. Do I need to purchase the iPhone 4 from a Canadian seller given my above questions? What other questions do I need to ask of the seller when looking for a used iPhone 4?
    Thanks in advance for any help with my newbie questions!

    Thanks for that, Paulfromwallasey. I live in a rural area without many cell towers and with WiFi only in my home. I do use offline maps (topographical and street maps) on my iPod Touch 4 outdoors (not needing a signal, WiFi or cellular). I also have a hand-held Garmin GPS receiver but would rather use the GPS in the iPhone (its positional accuracy, while likely being lower than that obtained from my Garmin, is likely sufficient for my needs).
    I guess that one of the questions that I was asking is if I were to purchase a used iPhone 4 from someone, and the SIM card have been removed, would the device's GPS still work with GPS-enabled apps (albiet without the cellular-assist)?
    Can any pay-as-you-go SIM card be purchased for and used in a deactivated iPhone4? Would this even be necessary for the GPS?
    Thanks again.

  • Data plan!  why???  whats the difference of me using Wifi or being charged for a data plan?

    Feature phones iterally suck, even the internet pro reviews on the phones are very low and most of the feature phones that are  reviewed  the reviewer gives  their  last comment as "don't buy" .
    I do not need a data plan, ( I carry either a Verizon netbook or a notebook for all my internet needs) nor am I comfortable with the charge of a data plan being necessary or is this simply another way for a large company with a large profit margin to stick it to the consumer knowing we have to maintain a cell phone in this day and age?.
    I had settled on the KinTwo, the reviews are not glowing but .... r not that horrible either.  It is also the only phone which gives the owner WiFi accessibility.  (which makes me wonder if this is the reason Verizon has pulled it off the market).  From my extensive research the KinTwo is the only feature phone choice.  But..... When I went back to the site to order it was gone, and the VW stores do not carry it.
    UGH>  I am so discouraged by the data plans and the extremely high price.  Would someone please tell me what the difference is in my using my Netbook, laptop (notebook) on WiFi and not being charged a data fee?  Or why I can bring Wireless Internet into my home and have all my WiFi accessible electronics connect through my main ISP with an additional fee for each WiFi user????   But I am not able to use a Smartphone this way???
    I am serious about these data plans  are they necessary????

    once upon a time verizon did not require data plans
    many users were happy
    but t h is did not last for users started having problems with thier hands
    they would often hit the wrong buttons and use data
    sometims as little as a mb, sometimes many mb
    verizon forums and customer service started recieving phone calls to get credits for this usage
    after all its not the users fault is it? i mean are they responsible if they had the phone to a 2 year old to play with and the kid brings up the browser?
    so verizon decided it was in its best interest to protect its users.  they started requireing data plans so you wouldnt get hit with huge bills for being an idiot.
    So if you wanna cry about data plans blame all those people out there that complained

  • The new podcast app is using up my data plan

    The new "podcast app" is using up my data plan like crazy! Its costing me much much more money now to listen to my podcast. They want donations to keep them "free" but this is much much futher from free. What is going on! I want it to go back to the way it was. Please dont tell me about them being free on WIFI I know that. I dont live in the city so the only WIFI is never where I can get it when I use them. Even driving down the road , if I loose service the podcast stops and my bill is over the top! What can I do to make it stop!!!!!??? This is a very bad move.
    Also what is the yellow "other" on my itunes sync thing that show how much of what is using up the space on my phone? I have taken almost everything off of the phone and almost half of the space is the yellow other. I can not wipe my phone and start over I have legal text messages I have to keep for court on my phone.
    Im very unhappy with this move of Apples and others are unhappy with it too or havent caught on to it yet.
    Please change it or let us know what to do to end this issue.
    thank you
    ami
    PS, I will be contacting the the podcasts to let them know that the donations will now be going to pay for the NO LONGER FREE PODCASTS.

    This has been really frustrating me too!  I made sure the 'use data' was turned off in settings, and yet when I was listening to a podcast, it went from one that I had downloaded to one that I hadn't downloaded without stopping, so I used up a ton of data!  It was because I was 'subscribed' to that podcast, which meant every darn episode ever was appearing in my list of podcasts - you can set it to download them automatically, but I don't want to download every single podcast for some, and there's no way to easily pick and choose like there used to be (with the 'get more podcasts' button).  In the end, I've just unsubscribed from all my podcasts, and I'll go find them one by one - it's really annoying, but it seems like it's all (downloading every possible episode, which for some is a lot weekly) or downloading manually by going to the catalogue.  I miss the old podcasts.  Also, I don't think it's cooler that it's not merged with my other music anymore.  Why was that necessary?

  • Cannot backdate data plan reduction?

    Is it not possible to backdate data plan reductions?  Last month my family was traveling and using hotspots.  Used a lot of data and increased our plan to 14GB.  I did so at the end of the month, via the backdating option which allowed me to avoid overages. 
    Now its a couple weeks into my bill cycle and I am trying to reduce the data plan to a more reasonable amount.  Only thing is that I am not getting the option to backdate the reduced cost of the plan.  What gives?  Its nice that they allow us to backdate a data plan increase to avoid overages.  Why not on data plan reductions as well?  Should I not be able to reduce my data plan according to how much we use each month?  We are not computers running the same calculations each day and the amount we use varies without any pattern.  It is a nuisance to have to manage the data plan two times each month--one at the end to backdate to more data if necessary, and then one in the beginning after the next cycle begins to chose a lower plan since we are unable to backdate data plan reductions.
    Just seems like this grouped data plan thing is another way for Verizon to screw over the typical and even experienced users who may not necessarily have the time to spend on managing these things. 
    In an ideal world Verizon would charge a scaled price per MB where each MB becomes cheaper after a certain amount used, each month.  Similar to how the current plans are cheaper per MB at the top end.  The only difference in this ideal world would of course be no overage charges and no worrying about buying more data than you need.  You'd think that with all the **** money they are making (selling data is huge profit) they could at least make it easier and more fair for the customer.  Really ticks me off.

    ihaveacellphone wrote:
    Yeah there is a reason I didnt lower my data before the end of my last cycle.  Its because I had to raise it via backdating to avoid overage.  Did you read my post?
    The point is that when you go over at the end of the month you can backdate to more data.  That is fine.  But the thing is, unless you check back when the next cycle begins, you are stuck with that plan for the rest of the month / until you remember to change it to less data...
    At which point, for whatever reason, you only have the option to prorate the cheaper plan rather than backdate for a complete reduction of cost.
    "If Verizon wanted to make money on overages they'd charge $1 per GB"  Do you honestly believe that?  You must have stockholm syndrome or something.  You cannot possibly think Verizon charges $15 overage to prevent people from going over.  If someone is having overages it means they are not familiar with the tiered data system, and that will not change whether the overage is $15, $5, or $.5 per gb.  Verizon wants you to overuse your allotted data because it makes them more money, period.  There is simply no argument against this. You go over .1 gb, you are charged $15.  If they were reasonable they would charge per kb or even mb. The average user would not have to understand the difference because they would understand the correlation between how much data they overused and how much additional data $$ was added to their bill.  Your elitist disposition once again makes me consider your employment with a company so eager to **** its customers.  Maybe you have just taken it from them for so long that you have started to enjoy it.
    A) Your point still doesn't make sense. You backdated so you wouldn't go over. Seems to have worked out. Seems that is what you intended to do. The next month simply switch back to your old data plan. You should know when you billing begins. So I'm still not seeing the issue.
    B) Enough with the insults. Simple fact Verizon doesn't want people hogging the network otherwise it slows down then they'll be Sprint. $15 per GB assures more people keep tabs on their data plans. Unless they are dumb. Of course if one insists on hogging the network sure they'll gladly take the $15 per GB. At $1 per GB most people wouldn't care about going over a GB or 2 every month. Verizon would make a ton more money of those $1 or $2 than they a will on the $15. No that many people will go over at $15 per GB. FACT.
    C) As I stated you per MB or per KB charge will just lead to more confusion on bills. People are already confused even though Verizon's plans are pretty simple. The fact is if Verizon charged 1.5 cents per MB which equates to $15 per GB I am 100% positive there would be plenty of people angry that they went over by 1 GB and got charged $15 because they don't understand there is 1024 MB per GB. Here's an idea, DO NOT GO OVER. If you find you are going over, UP YOUR PLAN. here's another idea, it's called wi-fi use it. We have 5 smartphones on a 6 GB plan in which we have yet to use even 3 GB a month in the 8 months we have been on it.
    D) I do not nor have I ever worked with Verizon. I would clearly be marked as Verizon employee in my username an avatar. Just because I choose not to believe in conspiracy theories where all the corporations are part of one big cabal run by Dr Evil doesn't mean I work for these corporations. Also I do not like you using the word ****. Some of us have family members that have been raped for real and you getting billed "too much" for data is no where near the same thing. If Verizon is so bad then you are free to choose another carrier that suits your needs.

  • AT&T Data plans

    For the last two years I have happily used my iPhone for both personal and work, in that process I have the unlimited minutes and unlimited data plan. I heard a rumor that AT&T is getting rid of the unlimited data plan. Does anyone know if that is true? It is pretty hard to push this to "enterprise" level when people have to worry about the fact that their "pushed" emails might start costing them on per bit basis.
    Let me know what you've heard.
    DeepPurple

    While it is true that AT&T is moving towards bundled data plans, if you already have an IPHONE, and are under the unlimited plan, you will be able to continue using the unlimited plan. In addition, the unlimited plan will follow you the consumer, not the IPHONE. So, if/when you EVER upgrade to a newer IPHONE, the choice is yours whether or not you want to continue with the unlimited plan. This unlimited plan option will be only available to consumers that were subscribed to the unlimited data plan at the time of the release of new data plans.

  • 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.
