I don't need a data plan or internet plan for using airport ?

I understand that all the airport's do not need an internet plan, is just connect to a AC adapter and you have free wi-fi or not?

Sorry, but your understanding is not correct.
If you want the AirPort to have Internet capability, you will need to provide a broadband Ethernet Internet connection from a service provider to the AirPort.

    The AirPort Express requires a modem with an Internet connection if you want it to be able to access the Internet.
    So, if Optimum is providing Internet service, but you do not have a modem.....you will need to ask Optimum to provide you with one.

  • List 3rd party Wi-Fi apps that don't need ANY data plan

    so far, the only one I know of is Live Search
    you can download it here
    (note: in Options, network configuration parameters must be changed to "Direct HTTP" instead of "default" and check "Use only WiFi interface")
    I can't use BlackBerry's "Maps", because I don't have a data plan;  however, the "Traffic" & "Maps" of Live Search is a great alternative!
    if you know of other 3rd party Wi-Fi apps that don't require ANY data plan (APN, BES, MDS, IPPP for BIBS, WAP, etc.), post them here.
    thanks!

  • Do I need a data plan for my IPod Touch to use FaceTime?

    I have FaceTime on my IPod BUT don't know if I need a data plan to run it. My uncle says I do and I'm not sure. HELP.

    Well, it isn't even possible to have a data plan for the iPod Touch. You can just use wifi to use FaceTime.

  • Don't WANT/NEED a data plan

    I am due for an upgrade to my phone and I'd like something with a bigger screen (51 year old eyes). I like the Droid (my son has one), but I literally have NO need for a data plan. Voice and text serves my needs, I have a computer at home and I just don't NEED a data plan.
    We've been with Verizon for about 5 years now and up until this point, have loved the service, quality, etc. We've been quite happy with the customer service, they have worked with us when we needed it and now? I am getting absolutely nothing for being a 'valued' customer. I'm not asking for a free data plan, I just want the choice of whether or not to get one when I get a new phone. I like the size of the phone itself. My current phone is web capable and in 2+ years that I have had it, I have used the web twice...for weather. That's it. I am beginning to resent being told that I have to do something in order to get a phone that fits my needs. It takes forever to find a new phone for my husband as he wants a phone. Camera is fun to have, but he does NOT text (he barely will email).
    Is it really too much to as for my wireless company to give me what I want/need and stop demanding that I do what they want? Before I upgrade, I'll be doing research on a new company.
    Unhappy.

    so dont blame verizon, blame the users
    If that were the case, the data plan would have been required on ANY phone which has the capability of incurring a pay-as-you-go data charge, which, for the record, is any phone in Verizon's line-up for the past couple years as far as I can recall, from the basic Motorola W385 all the way up to today's fanciest feature phone, the Kins.
    When Verizon made the decision to pair their most popular feature-type phones (then called 3GMM) with their least popular (but probably most profitable) small data package, they were making a decision designed to provide them with an increased stream of steady revenue for very little effort with no capital investment.
    Verizon has (and did have then) the tools to fix the problem of accidental data charges without increasing customer costs.  They could have required customers to "opt-in" to the paygo data plan, or only given refunds for the first complaint IF the customer chose a data package or a full data block. 
    Instead, they chose the easiest path to the highest revenue.  You shouldn't blame the customers for a company's decision to maximize their profits.

  • Buyer Beware!! No data plan when using Droid X as a hotspot!!

    I purchased the Droid X right when it came out and got the "unlimited" data and hotspot options.  I just received my first bill and it has $250 worth of data charges on it.  I called customer support and learned that hotspot data is not in the unlimited plan.  In fact, they do not offer a data plan for using the phone as a wifi hotspot  - it's pay as you go. 
    This was the whole reason I bought this phone - to get the hotspot.  I even turned in a wifi card I had with Sprint.  Even the customer support supervisor admitted it does not make any sense.  What a disaster..... #fail

    Yes, I am beginning to understand this now, they would not want someone selling mobile hotspot space.  Can someone give me some idea of what 2 gigs of data represents, I am having a bit of trouble wrapping my head around this.  This is going to be a pure convenience thing for me.  Example i'm on the road with my laptop and need to mod an excel, word or access doc on the fly and send it off...am I good to do this several times or do I wait till i'm home or in the hotel?
    Very interesting conversation all, I appreciate the input
    short but sweet....do not play wow thru your phone while driving
    CaboWaboMan> nice name btw.
    It's hard to fully judge how much data is used.  just surfing and sending emails would ammount to thousands of pages and text only emails before you hit 2 gigs.  But, once you start adding in attachments you will have to figure in the size of those attachements.  If you send 10 x 200MB files in a month, you've hit your limit on the attachments alone.
    I stream pandora 5 days a week for hours upon hours a day and I use about 2.5 gigs of data per month, plus web surfing.  If i download a bunch of files on my phone that number will bounce up tremendously. 
    So...likely the excel files ammount to a matter of Kbs so it shouldnt be a problem to stay WELL within that 2gb limit.  I personally don't think it is worth the extra 20 bucks a month for 2 extra gigs.  I would transfer my excel sheet to my phone via USB and then send it direct from the droid to my recipient.

  • Does the iPhone 4s need a data plan inorder for "siri" to work or can you just use your local wifi?

    Does the iPhone 4s need a data plan inorder for "siri" to work or can you just use your local wifi?

    It can use both in all the commercials they are using wifi im trying to find out just how much Siri depends on data but so far I think it mainly uses it to pull info up and for some reason to dictate email but it does work on carrier data I guess it's just slower  so you don't neccersarily need a data plan in place or have to dig into it to use Siri If you have wifi close by

  • HT4157 I want to set up my data plan for my iPad however I am in Germany for the next 3 months.  Will this plan work the same here as it would in the US?  Is there anything I would need to do in addition to get the service I need out here?

    I just moved to Germany and want to set up the data plan for my iPad.  I currently have the iPad linked to at&t however have not yet set up service.  I am afraid that I will pay for it and not be able to use it out here.  Will the standard at&t cellular data plan work in Germany or am I out of luck??

    Looks like we both need to read the OP more carefully

  • Cannot activate facetime - says I need eligible data plan - called AT&T and they confirmed I had an eligible plan and said I needed to contact Apple

    Cannot activate facetime - says I need eligible data plan - called AT&T and they confirmed I had an eligible plan and said I needed to contact Apple

    I have AT&T also just called them yes to use Facetime on there network you need the mobile share program but if you have wifi in your home like I do and I am always on my wifi 95% the facetime will work on Wifi I am thinking of doing this in Feb because I will have 3 iphone devices on the acct and the price that I quoted will be about 20.00 less then I estamated I would be paying for 3 iphones if I keep the plan I have now and add another separate internet on the 3rd iphone it will be close to 200.00

  • 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. 
    {word filter avoidance}

    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

  • What happened to International Unlimited Data Plan for $64.99?

    I am confused about international data plans,
    I get that the $64.99 unlimited international data plan
    is probably gone even if you were able to grandfather in the
    unlimited $29.99 data plan currently.
    I understand that Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, and even Europe
    have $30 to $100 dollar tiered data plans. But how about Asia?
    Specifically I am wondering about JAPAN.
    I was using a global 3G Motorola Droid 2 in January 2011 on
    a unlimited data plan for $64.99 because Japan uses CDMA.
    All I see on Verizon's website is that Japan seems to now
    only be data accessible via a $20/MB pay per MB system
    with any smartphone including an iPhone 4.
    So thats it?!
    The "Occasional Global Traveler" doesn't have any global value plans other than the ones I already can access???
    (I don't want to risk losing the unlimited $30 data plan on my smartphone)
    Theres no option for me to prepay for international data allowance, at ANY price???
    (I'm surprised Verizon doesn't extend the same data allowances in Asia as they do for Europe, Canada, & Mexico now)
    My only other option is to have my phone unlocked to work with international 3G SIM cards from other countries???
    (I get that this is likely a cheaper option anyway than going thru Verizon, but what a hassel)
    4G LTE is the next wireless global standard that Verizon leads the way in, so why limit its potential with 3G???
    (Cutting back on 3G global data roaming capability will only choke 4G adoption around the world, am I wrong?)
    So Verizon wants me to use Wi-Fi when roaming, well Wi-Fi doesn't give me voice calls using my cell number right???
    (Skype, Google Voice, Tango, Gizmo5, and TruPhone are cool but doesn't do what I need, am I asking for too much?)
    I am in need of a non-third party work around solution backed by a reputable company like Verizon please.
    Thank you,

    Yes, that really is the way to go.   It is only a little hassle. Getting it unlocked is easy if you are a Verizon customer (the many complaints on here come from people trying to get it unlocked abroad, which seems to be hard because of a change verizon made).  Then, depending where  you go, you need a local SIM or a regional SIM.  In some places this is very easy, others a little harder.
    But the savings are large.  I did this even before the global plan went away a voice calls are so much cheaper with local SIMs.
    (Using my D2G now in the UK, data and voice work fine with a local SIM, just having a little trouble with Wifi, not sure why!)

  • Looking to get a data plan for the sole purpose of playing online video games

    Hi everyone,
    I live in the mountains of Pine Valley, CA and the seclusion is becoming intolerable.  I'm looking to get a data plan with Verizon to play online video games, namely Diablo 3 or failing that due to latency, then Civilization 5.  Can anyone give me pointers on if this would work and what plan I could get?  Currently, I have a plan with Boost Mobile which uses Sprint cell phone towers.  I tested my internet connection with speedtest.net and received a ping as low as 140 and as high as 1000, but I'm hoping the 1000 is just due to reception issues that can be fixed with a better antenna.    The 140 ping is a little high too but I'm hoping this will be better on the Verizon network since I think their cellphone towers are closer.  The closest landmark to me is the Golden Acorn Casino at 1800 Golden Acorn Way  Campo, CA 91906.  If anyone could tell me the distance from Verizon's cell tower to the casino and Sprint's and could estimate a ping value based on that, I would really appreciate it.
    I like Verizon's data plan for 10gb but I'm confused on device connectivity.  Is this the data plan plus whatever router device I hook it up to? I would also need some sort of antenna and a router, wireless or wired.  Can anyone give me pointers on how to find these?  An estimation on Ping and bandwith speed and also on peak hours in my area would be nice too.  Thanks to anyone that can help me with this!  Oh, and while I don't think my area has coverage for 4g, though I'm pretty sure there is 3g, would I possibly get 4g if I had a strong enough antenna?

    Homefusion comes with antenna that is mounted OUTSIDE of your dwelling. That why they send someone out to install it. It also comes with the router. You're thinking of Share Everything data only plans. Where you pay $20 for the mi-fi and then pay extra on the data pending how much you want.  Share Everything with a mi-fi and 10 GB would be $80 a month when you can get Homefusion for $60 for the same 10 GB. An considering the antenna is more power and outside you're a lot more likely to get reception with Homefusion. In either case it should be noted you'll need to pass a credit check and sign a two year contract.

  • Cant finish data plan for Ipad2 from singapore is 50GB ?

    In singapore the Teleco operators is giving out 50 GB data plans as a package .
    we will needs a application to use it as in data plan for sms to use up our plan .
    any other application on Ipads that used data plan for communication .

    Stacyanne, sorry to hear of that bad experience at the VZW store.  I got my daughter an iPad2 for Christmas as well and she recently signed up for the $20 PRE-PAID (1GB) Data Plan.  I just went on the VZW website and saw that Plan was still available - as follows (from website page http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/plans/?page=mobileBroadband):
    Prepaid Mobile Broadband Plans
    Pay as you go. That way you only pay for the data you really need.
    Tablets
    Monthly Access
    1GB Monthly Data Allowance
    $20
    2GB Monthly Data Allowance
    $30
    5GB Monthly Data Allowance
    $50
    10GB Monthly Data Allowance
    $80
    No Reconnection fees, and no overage charges. Tablet plans not availabe on all tablet models.
    This is the same Plan I have and I haven't seen anything that states this is no longer available.  You can sign up for this right on your iPad2.  You can also turn it on and off - in other words, if you don't see yourself needing it for a month or so you can cancel the Plan and then re-enroll when you see a time coming up when you will need it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Data Plans for Ipod Touch?

    I would rather buy data plan for the IPod Touch than have Wifi. I would like to have access to internet all the time than trying to find hot spots.
    Cutiece
    Message was edited by: cutiece

    The only connectivity option of the Touch is Wifi. If you want a cellular connection, you'll need to buy an iPhone.
    It is theoretically possible to buy a cellular modem ( aka Aircard, Broadband access card) and a device that will turn it into a wireless access point. I believe Kyocera makes one. However, you'd have to lug the thing with you everywhere.
    Best of luck.

  • Data Plan for Business users

    Hey guys,
    My phone, a motorola is currently under a business and we have unlimited family text that runs me $30. My question is how much is the data plans for business users? Also, will I be able to get the cheapest data business plan, say $45 for 200 sms, unlmtd voicmail, email, internet and keep my unlimited family text? I ask because I am a heavy texter. Hope someone can help!

    You will need to get the Data Plan with 200 texts, but the unlimited family texts for $30 will override the 200 texts leaving only the Data.
