If i want to switch phones do I have to pay more?

If i want to switch my phone from the LG env 3 to the palm pixi do I have to switch my plan? I was talking to a verizon guy at the store and he said that if i would buy the palm pixi and switch everything over the internet the phone wont work without the 29.99 data plan, but i didnt belive or unserstand what he was saying. If I have the 9.99 data plan now and get a palm pixi through a friend and activate it online will it automatically switch to the 29.99 plan? Can't I just keep the 9.99 plan and not use the stupid internet that is has beacuse I never use it anyway and i will just use the wifi through my house and  just text and call? I have unlimited text plan.
I also talked to another verizon guy and he said if i kept the 9.99 plan for the palm pixi I would get charged with overrages but I dont understand why if iIdont use the "internet" Ihave now (it sucks and its slow) and if i dont use it on the palm why i would have to switch plans?
thanks for the help!!!

Most smartphones are using data when turned on. since the devices do this you are required to get the 29.99 unlimited data plan
if you don't wish to pay for the data plan you might need to find find another device

    I want to switch phones on my plan without switching my plan itself

    Much will depend on the phone you have NOW and the phone you want to switch to "without changing your plan" - if you are wanting to switch to a smartphone from a basic or multi-media phone (a classification no longer available) you will need to add a tiered data plan.

  • I want to tether my iphone5 to my ipad and verizon says I have to pay more

    I want to tether my iphone5 to my ipad and verizon says I have to pay more.  I have the 2g data package with my phone. I was understood that the hot spot feature was not charged for. I would not have upgraded my phone from a basic phone to the smart phone if I had not realized that the data would not be able to be used with the phone and ipad.

    Sorry I should have proofed my post.  English is terrible

  • HT1473 If I already own a song (from a different album) and the same song is in an album which I want to get, do I still have to pay for the song?

    Other details:
    First album/s- Dookie (Green Day), american idiot (green day)
    and 21st century breakdown (green day)
    Album with same songs in it- international super hits (green day)

    If I already own a song (from a different album) and the same song is in an album which I want to get, do I still have to pay for the song?
    Yes.
    The album which the song has been listed under (on the song's page) is listed in your library under that album. The song is then removed automatically from the first album
    No it's not.
    Purchasing a new song or album will not affect any other song or album in your library.
    In the case of the two albums you mention, if you purchase them both, you will have the same song (different copies) in both albums.

  • My macbook pro is still under warranty.  I have just put it into Mac 1 to be repaired because I had the folder with the dreaded Question mark on it....new hard drive.  I was told that if I wanted my data retrieved, I would have to pay $445 p/h. Ahh!!!

    My newest Mac just did the same "folder of death" dance. It's too late for you now, but you might consider a passport backup drive.You can get 2&3 T-bytes now fairly reasonably priced. A given with computers is they will crash, just a question of how bad and when, so you can be prepared for the next time.

  • I have iphone 4s, wife has iphone 4 and I want to switch phones. She works and I am retired. She needs Siri. How can I switch phones so all data is switched correctly?

    I have iPhone 4s, wife has iphone 4. She works, I am retired. She needs Siri. How can we switch phones and get all data, contacts, calendars, etc to switch correctly?

    First make sure both iPhones are using the lastest iOS 5.1.1. Secondly make sure all of your data is backed up in separate iCloud accounts one for each user. Make sure that you are all of the options in iCloud are on. Then you have to switch the sim cards.

    This page will take you though the steps of backing up data and then restoring the data on both iPhones. Make sure to read everything before you start the process it is fairly straight forward.

    You can use iTunes to restore or the iCloud option. I find that iCloud is much easier to setup but it requires wifi.

  • Under contract, not upgrade-eligible, but want to switch phones. How best to do it?

    I am a Verizon customer who was eligible for upgrade a month ago. So, about 3 weeks ago I upgraded from the iPhone 5 to the Galaxy Note 3. I've now decided that Android isn't for me. So, what is my least expensive option to switch back to the iPhone, specifically the 5s, considering I'm outside of my return/exchange period? I know it's going to cost me, but if I consider all options (early termination, adding additional line, etc.), what's the least expensive way to do this? Thanks in advance.

    I've made similar "mistakes" in "reasoning" on wireless plans before, so I feel you.
    Assuming your ill-fated "upgrade" to an Android phone was done with a promotion, leaving you in a new contract period, you have to consider several things:  Is there anyone you know that might want that phone?  Would they be willing to pay the monthly charges required for an additional line on your account?  Do you actually trust them to pay those monthly fees every month until the end of your contract?  If they were to fail to be able to complete it, or if they turn out to be a crappy human being, would you be able to comfortably afford to pay the fees for the additional line of service yourself?
    If the answer to all of those questions is "yes," or even if the answer to the last question is "yes," then your best bet would be to order an iPhone 5S as an additional line of service for your account.  You can then activate it in place of the phone you're currently using, so that "your" phone number will be on that iPhone 5S.  (To make sure that happens correctly, you'd be best off going to a VZW Store and having a rep activate it, and put a new number on the Android for you. If you screw it up, you might not be able to fix it.)   Then the Android phone can be given to your buddy, coworker, mother, sister, or whomever.  Or you can use it as a backup phone in case of emergencies.  Whatever.
    If the answer to the very last question is "no," then make sure you can find someone to buy that Android phone from you, and that you can afford to pay ALL the cancellation fees, or the full up-front cost of an iPhone 5S to activate on VZW.  You do not want to get stuck paying a monthly bill you can't afford for an additional line that you don't want or need, and you don't want a wireless bill for final service, cancellation fees, and other cruft hanging around.  If it goes to collections, you're guaranteed to be taking a huge hit to the credit score.  Not worth it for a more comfortable mobile phone experience.
    Also keep in mind that if you buy a new iPhone 5S from Verizon, at full retail cost, and activate it with Verizon in place of your current device, you're still upholding the terms of your contract so long as you maintain all monthly services required in that contract.  That means that, once you activate the iPhone 5S, you can do whatever you want with the Android phone.  And since VZW is currently running a buy-back promotion to let you sell them back your used phone, you could sell it back to VZW.  (I did this to upgrade from my current iPhone 4S to the iPhone 5S.  I'm not eligible for a discounted upgrade OR a Verizon Edge upgrade, so I had to pay the full $899 for my iPhone 5S.  They're buying back my 4S for $200, though.)
    Best of luck to you!

  • I just got an iPhone 5s but now am unable to backup my 4s before switching phones. I have tried 2 different computers and both give me an error message saying simply "iTunes is unable to backup this iPhone as an error has occurred."

    I have the latest version of itunes but do not have ios7 on my phone as I do not have the required 4GB available to do the update

  • If I bought an app on my phone do I have to pay for it again for my Macbook?

    It keeps telling me that I need to buy the app again but I already have it on my iphone and ipad.

    Yes they aren't the same OS or application - iPhone and iPad are the same but the one for MBP is different.

  • Switch phone numbers between 2 different sized SIM Cards?

    I have an HTC One and my dad has an iPhone 5. I want to switch phones with him but the iPhone 5 has a nano sim and the HTC One has a micro sim. Is their a way i can just switch phone numbers on the sim card? for example I have my phone number on my can I transfer it to my dads? and vise versa.

    Contact your carrier to have them give you appropriate sized sim cards with the correwct numbers and services.
    Alternatively, you can cut the larger sim card down to the correct size, and place the smaller sim card in an adapter to make it larger. 
    Sim Card Adapters
    But contacting your carrier would be the better option.
