IPad 2 Wifi + 3G, being charged by Verizon for use?

I just bought an iPad 2 64gb Wifi + 3G model from Best Buy. They did not tell me much about it, as I had done some research before buying it and did not need much information on it. My original intent was to purchase only the 64gb with Wifi, they only had the 64gb in wifi + 3G, so I got that instead. I just turned on the iPad 2 and connected it to iTunes to get started. It is showing I am connected to Verizon 3G, until I turned on my wifi connection from my home.
My question is, am I being charged by Verizon or anyone for useage of the iPad? I do not have a Verizon account or anything, not did I sign anything. Just wondering if my credit card will be charged or I will receive a bill next month for something I was unaware of.
The Best Buy guy did mention that the 3G is a "pay as you go" kind of thing only when you are using it. Where can I find more info on this, including the "pay as you go" prices?
I will hardly be using 3G, seeing as I have a Wifi connection nearly everywhere I go, but in travels between wifi connections, I do not want my 3G to be running and me be paying for something.
Thank you in advance for any help!

It's not because you are connected to Verizon that can actually use their network without paying.
If you haven't signed up to a data plan with them, how can they charge you for anything?
Launch Settings and turn off the cellular data, if you are not interested in using that service.

Will I get charged by verizon for using free wireless in a foreign country

Hello, Sorry if this question has been asked before.
I am in a foreign location right now. DO not have any international plans with Verizon (just domestic USA phone minutes, and internet).
I notice that my droid-2 picks up the free wireless in the hotel and connects to internet with full functionality.
Will Verizon charge me for this, even though I am using free wireless?
I could not seem to find this answer on verizon's FAQ's.
DOnt want a giant internet access bill for simply using hte phone as a device to check email!!!

If you are talking about WiFi wireless, no. If you are talking about 3G / "Data" wireless, yes, very much so.
Since you mention "hotel wireless" I assume you're talking about WiFi so you should be fine. If you are in most of Europe, you're probably fine as there is very little support for CDMA in Europe. Asia is a different story, that does support CDMA in many locations, so you could be data roaming.

HT4943 I bought a magazine subscription on my iPAD and after being charged, it does not come up on my screen. Has anyone had this problem?

I bought a magazine subscription on my iPAD and after being charged, it does not come up on my screen. Has anyone had this problem?
When I click on the magazine, my screen is just blank. I can see the purchase, and in my settings/store, the magazine shows "ON".

I would do a power cycle/reset of your device first, if you haven't, to rule that out.

If that doesn't help, talking to iTunes customer support would be in order...or whoever you purchased the magazine subscription through.

If the magazine is browser based, you might also try another browser. I like "Atomic Browser". It is available on the app store.

I'm being charged three times for the same service and I can not use it

Hello, A few months ago I tried to buy Adobe Creative Cloud when putting the data on the card told me that there was a mistake, then I tried other cards ... in short, I'm being charged three times for the same product twice a card and once in another obviously no "mistakes", the problem is that I can not use the product. I want to give low in all three accounts and also be compensated for the time they have charged me three times. Please, I need to solve this urgent problem.

Z zoozx ,
How could Microsoft come up in a forum about an Apple problem? We have heard for years how superior Apple products are but we've never had as many headaches and problems with our Windows PCs over the years as we have with the Apple devices we now have. My wife has the most recent iPad and my son has the most recent ipod Touch. Earlier problems notwithstanding, the iOS 7 upgrade was horrible and hard to imagine for a device where the company controls all of the hardware and the software with no variants. As for Microsoft, I can say I have programmed on many various platforms from PolyForth to Unix to Windows and .NET. I think what many Apple users don't understand about Windows is the sheer magnitude of variables in making the software and all upgrades work for such a myriad array of hardware platforms and usage scenarios across an enormous number of partners and small to large enterprises. Anyone who has worked with a large integrated system can get a sense of this. I work in healthcare and our HIS system is rated #1 in it's class (built on a derivitive of an old MIT OS) but due to it's vast integration capabilities and the variety of usage and setup variables from site to site, it requires daily dilligence in error reporting and resolution across all of it's applicaitons. Microsoft Windows works and integrates with a massive number of other Microsoft client and server solutions that are used by the vast majority of enterprises in the world. It's no small feat to keep the Microsoft software stack in good working order. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion but I wish we could past this ABM mentality that pervades online forums. I'm not sure if you've noticed but the Apple forums are jam packed with folks like yourself and me having problems with Apple hardware or software so I'm not sure where we can say one is better than the other, even if you could carve out some realistic benchmarks from which we could compare them on an even playing field.
With all the said, and I apologize but feel that the Anti MS anecdotes belong left long in the past, but any ideas on how we can get the supplied power cables to charge the devices they came with? I don't believe I've ever encountered a problem at the power cable level like this in which 2 cables are not working on 2 different devices. I think it points to software problems but as someone else mentioned about display settings, I'm not sure how your display settings affect the charging of a device in a non display mode. Would that suggest the thunderbolt cables are not capable of delivering enough charge to keep up with idle power consumption?

My iPad air won't charge. I have used both the charge cord that came with it, and a second that I bought at the Apple store. I have used both the charger that came with the iPad, and others that are working with other iPads. It charged yesterday.

My iPad Air will not charge. I have used its original charge cord, and a second Apple lightning cord. I have used the original charger and others that I have confirmed do work. It charged yesterday, no problem.

Before going to the Apple store carefully examine the lightning port to make sure no fuzz or other foreign stuff has gotten in there. There are not that many things that can prevent an iPad from charging. You've tried a different cable, different charger and hopefully the reset suggested by Barry in the previous post. Check for debris and if the port is clear Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

How to unlock iPhone 4s from Verizon for use on AT

How do I unlock a iPhone 4s that is from Verizon so I can use it on the AT&T network? My daughter's phone got wet and won't work. We tried her sim card in my wife's iPhone and it worked fine so we borrowed a iPhone from a friend for her to use until her upgrade is available. The borrowed iPhone is a 4s and is from the Verizon network and we are on the At&t network. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Verizon iPhone 4S can only be unlocked by Verizon for use on non US carriers. It can not be used on any US carrier other than Verizon.

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

Here in the UK I have a iphone 4s, and am being charged by 3 for iMessages.

They say that these are being sent as SMS even though that this is turned off in settings. Is this right?
I thought the whole idea was that this was free.
The messages are blue, and come up with iMessage when sending to a friend with an iPhone 5 in Germany!
Any advice would be good, as I am being charged a fortune from the carrier 3!

First of all you should be connected to the internet, secondly, 3G or wifi it doesn't matter which you are connected to. If iMessanger is down for some reason or you can't connect to it, and you have the option of sending a text off it will give you a message "cannot deliver" or something in those regards. You can try again later.
You will be billed in that case

When am I being charged by Edge for Safari and when am I not being charged?

I know I am probably beating a dead turkey here but the on line manual has nothing when I search for "quitting applications". I found the following on this discussions history but it is referring to fixing a problem. My question is concerning normal sequence of steps for web browsing.
Allan Sampson wrote:

. . . If this allows Safari to load a website, quit Safari by pressing and holding the Home button until the iPhone returns to the Home screen. This quits the application. Then clear the Safari cache, cookies and history.  Power your iPhone off and on or do another
It is unclear to me; should I "quit" Safari after I am done looking at a web page. Apparently to do this I hold down the home button. I don't quite understand how the Edge charges are applied. Lets say I bring up a web page for a local TV station's weather page.
I load the page, look at it and want to be sure I am no longer being charged. What do I do? I have only tried this once because I don't want to pay astronomical fees. I have yet to go to a free WiFi. What I did after viewing the local TV station's page is I turned my phone completely off hoping it would stop me from being robbed.
Q: after I load a page if I don't move around it or change the view size etc. am I still being charged or is the data down load complete and that is that?
Q: then if I move on to say playing music on the iPod app. or just start a timer for my tea and walk away is Safari still running like a taxi meter or what?
Q: If I have more than one web page open am I being charged, if using Edge, the whole time I have those pages in my "Multiple Webpages at Once" list even while they are not visible on the screen?
I think the on line manual should go into this in more detail.
Thanks for any light you can shed on this mysterious business.

Hey thanks for responding,
I am on GoPhone pay as I go for now. I fear the local TV weather page does refresh so the info is up to date over time.
One person here said it is possible to send up to $30 for three minutes. I don't want to get caught paying ump teen for sixty minutes or worse; over night.
Ok it seems if I close the multiple pages even if they refresh then I don't need to worry about them and if I leave them and they refresh I get charged a bit more each time.
The manual says I cannot close the last page so this means I must use the press the Home button and hold until what? If I merely press the home button without holding I go to the home page so how can I be sure I have "Quit" Safari.

I just got a new iPad mini, will iTunes charge me extra for syncing my music onto it? How do I get the music off?

I tried syncing my iPod and iPad together and then I was told that I will be charged twice as much for doing this. How do I turn it off? I tried turning off my music in Settings but the music is still there.

Hi Marmee14,
If your Apps were purchased with his Apple ID, it will still require his Apple ID to update them. If they were purchased with your Apple ID then it will use yours. Apps are linked to the Apple ID they are purchased with.
If, for some reason his Apple ID is set somewhere in the system, this article gives how to change it.
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
For example:
App Store
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, sign in with your current Apple ID.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID, tap your previous Apple ID and tap Sign Out. Then enter your current Apple ID to sign in.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
