New Data Plan

I noticed now AT&T has an enterprise data package for business users, however with out exchange capabilities what is the difference? Does this mean an update is coming soon for enterprise users?

Derrick Andrews,
When the iPhone first came out it was not possible to have an iPhone line on a company paid wireless account that was a business account.
That has changed.
As for working with Exchange, Exchange comes with IMAP abilities which is a standardized protocol, in addition to its proprietary Activesync protocol.
This is an outline of what needs to be done on the server for Exchange to do IMAP:

If the business doesn't want to open a port for encrypted IMAP as outlined in the article above, another option is to use VPN and not open a port in the firewall specifically for IMAP. This article discusses which VPN protocols the iPhone supports:

Hope this helps,

Can I use the same plan that I have for my iphone 4s with my new ipad? or do I have to buy a new data plan for my new ipad? I would love to use my new ipad away from home but not sure how to use it?

Can I use the same plan that I have for my iphone 4s with my new ipad? or do I have to buy a new data plan for my new ipad? I would love to use my new ipad away from home but not sure how to use it? I am on Telus mobility with my iphone 4s.

See the answer on the same question you asked a few minutes ago.

How to activate an old iphone (after restoring it) without a new data plan

First off thanks for any help – I've seen the support article Using an iPhone without a wireless service plan and it no longer seems to reflect the current setup for the iTunes Store.
I have an old original iPhone that I've been using as an iPod. Works fine, but for some reason I wasn't able to replace some old photos with additional music. So, I decided to restore the phone and wipe it clean so there would be more space for music.
After the phone was wiped clean, it needed to be reactivated. There's no way to get into the phone or load music onto it without activating it, as far as I can tell. I saw the support article above, but after going through the steps in the iTunes store there was no way to active the phone without purchasing a $20 a month data plan. I know there's another way (or there used to be) but I can't figure it out.
Basically, just need to active my old iPhone, so that I can continue to use it as an iPod touch, without purchasing a new data plan.
Any help would be appriciated, thanks!

More info – the phone was used (by me) with a data plan for about two years.
The SIM card that's in the phone is the same as when I first purchased it.
I can easily activate it – just not without purcahsing a data plan.

Why do I need to choose a new data plan for the Galaxy Nexus?

So I've been waiting to upgrade my OG Droid to the Galaxy Nexus.
I have the "unlimited data" plan (grandfathered in). My phone is eligible for an upgrade, but when I add it to my cart, it tells me that I need to choose a new data plan because my current one isn't eligible.
I thought once you have the unlimited data, you keep it until you cancel the line or switch to a non-smartphone?
Is this an error on line or if I go to the store will the tell me the same thing?
Thanks

So I went to the store, and they told me the phone would be $320 instead of $250 like the online price. So, I left and called the customer service number and they told me that the order should go through with the unlimited plan selected, but it doesn't. So they made a note and said I'd have to call customer service after activating the phone to get unlimited data back on to it.
Has anyone ever had to do this? I don't want to get this with a "new" data plan only to have them tell me that they can't put unlimited data back onto it for 29.99/mo.
Thanks for the responses
How are you getting it for $250 on line? Do you have a discount or NE2 credit? Sounds like you didn't go to a coorporate store and went to a Franchise/3rd party store. They can't see employee discounts or NE2 credits.
It will be around $320 with tax and fees, and your data plan WILL stay the same in store. Since they said you have to call CSR it further makes me believe you went to a franchise or 3rd party retailer.

About those new data plan rates......

not sure how accurate this is since it only cites droidlife and doesn't appear to have got any of the info directly from verizon, so take it as you will:

They really should fire whoever came up with that pricing scheme. Really doesn't make sense to have the cheapest tier at $30 for 2GB when they claim most people use much less than that. Oh well, the QOS better increase substantially or they're going to have even more unhappy customers
They did release some good news today though.

06/21/2011
RALEIGH, NC — Verizon Wireless announced today it is turning on the world’s first large-scale 4G LTE (Fourth Generation, Long Term Evolution) Network in Raleigh-Durham, N.C. on July 21, 2011. Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network is the fastest and most advanced 4G network in America.
The deployment of Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE in Raleigh-Durham, N.C. also provides LTE coverage throughout the surrounding areas of Cary, Apex, Clayton, Morrisville, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Gorman, Wake Forest, Rolesville, Knightdale, Wendell, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Garner and Smithfield.
congrats pjnc! 20mbps is pretty nice!!!
as far as the pricing goes (if this is even accurate), my guess is that they have figured out that $30/month is an acceptable minimum plan. i rarely us even close to 2gb's and would love to have a $20 plan for up to 1gb.....but they tried the $10 plan with media phones a couple years ago and then did those promotional $15 plans over the past holiday season. i suspect that they figured out that daily users of data are fine with $30 and that people that only pull email once in a while or download a game on a media phone will just pay the few bucks per month it costs to do those sorts of things. apps are getting bigger and the amount of data being consumed has drastically increased in the past year. i suspect that 2 years from now (i believe the average customer always signs the 2 year contract) 2gb's wont seem like much and we will all likely be using that much data???

Weird Problems With New Data Plan

Hi. I just received a new Droid smartphone and have been having a great time looking through the phone and seeing all of the cool things you can do with it. I have downloaded a couple of programs and what not by connecting to my home Wi-Fi service, but I haven't used up THAT much MB's of space. However, this morning I got a text from verizon saying that I exceeded my $15 a month Data limit, but I don't see how this is possible. When I go to my account online and check out how much I've used, it tells me I've used up about 28 MB's out of 150, which is the limit. Is this just a glitch or is it a problem I need to to address with haste? Will it add on to the bill? Also, has anyone else had this problem before?

It can take a bit of time to update, like the last poster wrote. If I can make a suggestion, though: with using a droid device, consider placing the unlimited package and cutting the loss from the increase. If you go over, even by a byte, it will charge you for another full 150MB allowance, basically eliminating the savings. The Droid devices are insatiable data hogs (it is like slop to them). I see a lot of instances where users go over this feature when attempting to save a bit of money. On the Droid phones, it is usually not worth the risk of overage.

Hate the new Data Plan policy!!

Data plans in the new wireless world

I see an impending collapse of many peoples internet service approaching soon and very little discussion on the topic, so I decided to write this to help inform Verizon of some of its customers needs.
       What originally attracted me to Verizon was its effort to push beyond the big markets and reach all of America. Create a country where everyone is "connected". Join Verizon and we will take care of you no matter where you live. These are the ideas Verizon has pushed onto people over the years and I commend them on doing a very good job at reaching these goals. The issue is, they have acquired such a large customer base it is now creating problems. An excellent marketing tactic of wireless service providers was always to offer up unlimited data plans to attract people to their service and this used to create very little risk for the service provider because wireless data was slower the telegraph!! Cellular providers used to sell phones, now they sell computers. Have they adjusted to this new market accordingly?
       When you had a 3G phone or even back when it was 2G or 1XX paying extra for unlimited data was pointless. As Verizon's CFO recently pointed out "Unlimited is just a word" "people don't use near the data they think they do" this is exactly why they could profit from unlimited data in the past, because this was true. Have you ever tried to stream a hi-def movie on 3G service? you were lucky if it wasn't pausing to buffer every 10 secs, what did you do every time this happened, you stopped trying to watch it!! Therefore you didn't use the data required to stream that content. Now just when wireless technology is finally becoming fast enough to be useful or enjoyable, it is being shut down.
       The new 4G LTE services have finally made it possible to reach 8-10 MB download speeds on regular basis. You can stream a full 1080 hi-def Blu-ray quality movie with 7.1 surround sound if your internet connection speed is over 5 MB. This sounds great doesn't it, finally I can watch SyFy, Hulu or Vudu with my aircard. This is the problem Verizon is facing, because that one 90 minute movie from Vudu at 1080 hi-def just sucked up 5 GB!! No that was not a typo, full hi-def streaming video will push 4-5 GB in a couple hours. Verizon had to curtail this "excessive" data usage by reverting to tiered plans or "shared data" so with the new data plans that was a $50 movie, at that price you would once again stop watching it and not use the data required to stream that content.
       Verizon broadband could not handle this volume of data being used when people started getting 4G internet service, so they had no choice but to end unlimited plans or be faced with the reality that they could not support there millions of customers data usage. For most people this will not create a big issue because they probably still live somewhere that they have access to other internet services such as DSL, Cable, or the best at Fiber Optic. DSL and cable will usually have a plan that creates fast enough internet speeds for streaming video but you will have to pay for a premium service.
       This however does create a step backwards, in what seemed like a step forward for the rural community. 3G unlimited aircard was a great option for rural community's, finally offering them an affordable internet service that often could still play Netflix, as well as all the normal uses such as e-mail and browsing, although it would not stream a 1080 hi-def movie it could at times stream a standard-def movie. Now with unlimited going out the window all those people that thought it was going to be so great to upgrade to a 4G aircard and finally watch movies, quickly realized that wasn't going to happen and worse Verizon is showing signs of completely eliminating all unlimited data as they course through their contracts looking for legal ways to stop honoring them, and for those that they can not stop honoring they have started to "throttle" usage when it exceeds a certain amount usually around 2 GB a month. This is perfectly legal to do, almost all ISP's will do this this when you exceed a certain amount of data, the difference is when your ISP offers 8 MB connection speeds and throttles you down to 5 MB speeds because you use a lot of data, you never really notice it unless you download media instead of streaming it and your downloads seem to take longer then normal but it doesn't effect you enough to complain. When your internet speeds are 1-2 MB as they are with 3G service, throttling brings you down to 300-600 KBPS!! They will throttle your speed down so much that you can't do much of anything except e-mail and browsing, Netflix will not work anymore, so thinking you can stay with a 3G device and just keep what you have isn't an option. They are forcing everyone into new plans.
       In the past it was very hard to use 10 GB of data on a wireless carriers broadband because speeds were to slow to allow use of all the online media. Now it is very easy to use 60 GB a month if you like movies and online TV. (That is 60 GB without downloading any media just streaming it) Perhaps if we are lucky Verizon will once again return to the table and look for ways to help their rural customers without taking are internet away from us. If I could pay for DSL from my local phone company I would, but I do not even have a phone line tied to my house, and if I decided to get one it still would not have internet access. But due to Verizon's efforts in expanding there 4G service across the country as quickly as possible I do have excellent 4G wireless service available in my home. Just as I thought it was time to get a Verizon aircard and start watching movies again, they told me you will never be able to afford it.
      If Verizon can create a rural community data plan for users that have no other means to access the internet and and it doesn't cost $600 a month then I will happily buy it, and also understand that it cannot cost $30 a month either, but if people could get, Phone, Internet (with say 50 GB limit), TV (by tv I don't mean Verizon TV that I agree should be an addition to the bill, i mean the free hulu, syfy and payed netflix accounts that are accessible with any internet connection fast enough to stream), Movie Store in their living room (Vudu) all in one package I think that $200 a month is a reasonable price.
     Now all I can do is wait and see who calls first. If Verizon creates a new data plan that allows media streaming at a reasonable price ill buy it. If my Local phone company offers me high speed internet and phone first, ill buy that instead and throw my current $140 month Verizon bill in the trash when I end the contract. I will not have 2 phones, I only have a Verizon phone because I have no Land line in my home. So I guess the race is on to see who can maintain the rural community's business.

What about Via Sat Exede satellite? 12 Mbps down and 3 Mbps up
25GB $130
Free data midnight to 5 am
Hook up VoIP phone and you got close to what you are asking, depending if you are a night owl or not.

Being Charged for data plan I don't need

It's that time of the two year contract with two out of three phones up for a renewal on our contract. Two phones need to be replaced. I stop in at the local Verizon store to get our options, costs, etc. While discussing the two year contract and reviewing the phones my kids picked out, Joe (Verizon employee) informs me that the phones the kids picked out have a required a data plan that costs $9.99 a month. Now the phones the kids picked out are middle of the range text messaging phones. Not a Blackberry or a Droid.
I explain to Joe that I'm not interested in the data plan as the kids don't need internet service on their cell phones. This apparently does not matter to Verizon as this is a required charge now. Joe explains that I can block this service while still having to play $9.99 per phone each month. So that I get this straight, I asked Joe if my math was correct. I will be paying an additional $240 a year for a data plan service that I do not want or need? "Yes ma'am" was his reply. He then points me in the direction of the three flip phones that do not require a data plan. Now even this was laughable as he explains that these phones are more for the "elderly". Oh yeah, I'm going to bring my 2 teenagers into the store and point them over to the "elderly" phones. Ha!
Interestingly enough, I bought the EnV3 recently and did not have to purchase the data plan. To purchase the exact same EnV3 now, I would incur this data plan charge. This makes absolutely no sense to me other than Verizon being greedy.
So then I leave the store and walk directly over to another wireless store and ask one simple question. Do I have to pay for a service that 1) I don't want and 2) don't need? The answer was "no". He quoted the same phone plan to what I'm have now, but will not be charged for coverages I do not want. Off the bat, I'm saving $20 a month over Verizon. And he's comped two new phones for free. Nothing out of pocket for new phones. The man at this store then advised me to determine what my cancellation fees would be with Verizon in order to better make a decision on whether or not to switch.
I walk back to the Verizon store, put my name back into the system. While waiting, Julie (Verizon employee) asks me why I'm looking into cancelling my service. I explain the situation while she grins nicely and slightly nods her head. She has a teenage daughter and she understands. We discuss the need of limiting teenagers and internet service. She explained that even as an employee she had to pay for this service and did not want it. Well, Julie I have a choice.
I don't remember the name of the next VE but we review the cancellations fees etc. $225 due if I should cancel before my contract expires. (I can cancel during my contract and still not have to pay as much as incurring the new data plan charges.) He is doing everything he can at this point to keep my service. I ask him if he can waive a data plan service fees that I do not want. No, he cannot.
So thinking this whole through, I'm not willing to spend the extra money for a service that I do not want. I am not willing to provide my teens with a data plan on their cell phones that I have no control over. They have plenty of opportunities to access the internet without having it in their palm 24/7. Plus knowing teenagers, I wouldn't want to incur the add-on expenses for the data plan overrages. You know as well as I do, once they know they have it, it will be used and they will not have a clue on how to limit internet access. Yes, I am one of those moms that refuse to pay for everything their little hearts desire and like hell will I waste $240 a year because Verizon demands this data plan.
It's clear that Verizon does not have a clue on this. I would rather spend the $ to get out of a plan with a greedy company- than feed more money into their operation when they clearly don't have their finger on the pulse of what families need. So, after having been with Verizon Wireless for 14 years and quite happy with them and the service, I will be switching at the end of the month.

Dawn, I'm right there with you....
I've been a "Verizon" customer for over 15 years (records carried over from when I was Cellular One and they got bought out by VZW)... and I currently have 1 primary and 3 supplemental lines for family. In the past it was never a problem to get a multi-media phone for my teen because he likes to have his music with him.. obviously... he's a teen. And in the past there has NEVER been a charge for any time of "data plan" for the MM phones.. which is good. So now his phone is eligible for an upgrade, and he'd like to have the EnV3 which has the MM features. However good ol' VZW being the monopoly that they are now wants a long time customer to pay for a data plan....a $9.99/month data plan for 25MB downloads. More over, in order to ensure my teen doesn't surpass the 25MB/month, I'd have to subscirbe (at an additional price of $4.99/month) for Usage Control features for the line. So now VZW wants this line to go from being a simple $9.99/month to $25.00 just because a MM phone??!! What's worse, is that my teen already has an LG Voyager (a MM phone), yet I have services for mobile web, data downloads and such BLOCKED on his line. So answer me this... why should I have to mandatorily pay a mandatory $15/month fee for a service I'm not using in the first place?!!
VZW has slowly but surely penny-anny'd their customers over the years and I'm finally fed up with it. Time to switch. Even if the other carriers do require a data plan with their phones, at least I'll know what I'm getting up front and no suprises along the way. VZW's "New every two" means NEW AND MORE CHARGES EVERY 2 YEARS... that's for sure!

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.

Ending Data Plan

I returned my first ipad but did not end my data plan with AT&T before returning it. Now it is not in my possession and I cannot get a new data plan on my current iPad on my account because the former plan is still active. How can I end that data plan on the iPad that isnt in my possession?

But not just call them... You might also need the old iPads serial nimber and/or phone number associated with data plan. Might be a headache, but do call them.

Switching phones--why can't I keep the same data plan?

I am on a family plan with three phones on it, two of which are Android phones. The third line, currently suspended by me, is on an LG Env3. Before the data plans changed, I added the unlimited data to the phone for $29.99. I reactivated the line to verify the data plan shows on it, and then suspended the phone again.
I want to use this extra line as a house phone, and I have an HTC Eris I'd like to use. Since it's a smart phone, I know I have to have a data package, which is already attached to the line. When I got on-line and tried to reactivate the line, changing it to the Eris, a window popped up telling me I have to switch to one of the new data plans.
Anyone have any idea why it is doing this? I changed from the Eris to a Thunderbolt on one of the other lines two weeks ago, and had no problem keeping the unlimited $29.99 plan.
If I call customer service and do it with a rep, will I be able to keep the $29.99 data plan?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
(Originally posted in wrong forum)

LG Env3 is not a smartphone. The feature phone unlimited data plan is coded differently than the smartphone unlimited data plan. If you change that line to a smartphone (like a Droid Eris) you have to select from the currently available data plan options.
As long as you keep a feature phone on that line you can keep the grandfathered feature phone unlimited data plan.

AT&T recent data plans for smartphone

Not sure if there is any gotcha but recently ATT announces the new data plan for smartphone users. With $160 per month you have
- Unlimited voice/text
- 4 smartphone lines
- 10 GB data share
With the same amount of monthly I have with Verizon
- 700 min voice
- Unlimited text
- 1 smartphone line with 2GB data by itself
- 2 dumb phone lines
Not sure how Verizon is going to react with this.

The tiered data plans started on AT&T last year.

AT&T Changed My Plan without my consent, took away my Unlimited Data Plan and 7500 rollover min

I have been a loyal customer since 2007. I have had AT&T's unlimited data plan on my iPhones since 2007. Well that all changed in May of 2013, unbeknownst to me! In May, AT&T took away my FamilyTalk Nation 1400 with Rollover minutes plan and arbitrarily enrolled my family in their 10GB shared data plan. We were not notified and we were not asked if we approved the change. We had about 7,500 banked rollover minutes. My phone is 1 of 4 on the family account. I had the original iphone in 2007 and have been with AT&T ever since because of the awesome $30 a month grandfathered unlimited data plan. To save money on minutes and texting, I moved my phone over to my family's shared plan about 2 years ago. I was able to keep my $30 a month unlimited data. Well in May, AT&T changed our plans and we didn't know. Had I been monitoring the bill, I would have likely caught this change. However, my parents were the ones paying the bill, and I would just send them my share every month. I received some weird text messages in the last few weeks saying I was getting close to my data limit. Hmmm, data limit? But I have unlimited data? That's when I went online, checked the bill, and saw what happened. I called AT&T, asked why the plan was changed. They claimed my sister made the change....I spoke to my family, including my sister, and no one had authorized the change. And since the monthly bill only increased by about $30 a month, my parents didnt bat an eyelash or ask questions when the plan changed. But we had a GREAT plan that was right for us, 7500 banked rollover minutes, and unlimited data for me. All that was taken away. AT&T says that since we didn't speak up within 90 days of the change, they cannot change it back. This is RIDICULOUS AT&T and I cannot believe this is how you treat loyal customers. Now we have an unlimited talk and text plan (which we don't need at all... we don't use that many phone minutes or texts... that's why we had banked 7500 rollover minutes you genuises!!) and a data plan with a cap at 10GB when before, I had UNLIMITED data. I am extremely mad that this happened. My family feels like we were slapped in the face. We want our old plan back. We want what we had on May 1 2013: our FamilyTalk Nation 1400 Rollover plan with our 7500 banked rollover minutes that we are entitled to, and my unlimited data plan for $30... because it was taken from us without our consent. If we cannot get our old plan back, the first chance we get once we are off contract for all of our phones, we are leaving AT&T and taking our business elsewhere. Has anyone had their plan taken from them without their knowledge? Lost rollover minutes? Been stripped of their unlimited data plan?

Hey JDom2, That really sounds like an rough situation.You're right, it doesn't make sense for AT&T to spontaneously change plans. Unless your account gets flagged for unusual usage, or needing help with billing reminders, a representative doesnt even open your account. It takes a representative to manually make some of the changes to your account, or of course of could do it yourself by logging into the webite. So ultimately a representative, either in store, or on the phone had to do it, while talking to someone. I personally can't remember a specific day or call 8 months ago, and it doesnt surprise me that your sister might not either. The new plan comes with unlimited Talk and Text. Rollover minutes are temporary minutes that fall off after a year and only get used if you go over your US voice usage. With unlimited, that's a moot point. AT&T starts sending text messages when you hit 65%. If this is the first time in months, you've used more than 6.5 gb, then this plan would've sounded amazing at the time. No conscientious rep would have reccomended make a change like that, unless your usage showed your usage showed you would have fit pretty comfortabled under 10gb. I might reccomend you check more what's changed in the last 8 months that your usage has been escalated. The sad thing is, customers who aren't used to paying a care to what they do on the phone, often leaves apps open unecasserily long period, or won't connect to wifi despite the faster speeds, or other things that are just generally a good idea for not just data, but general battery life and system speed. It's more just unfortuanate, whoever, perhaps your sister who was on the call when the change happened hadn't told you. Even if there was a misunderstanding, maybe she didn't understanding unlimited Talk/Text 10gb meant that was going to be the new data plan, instead of in addition to, if she mentioned it, then maybe you could've checked on it sooner. Reps usually are able to go back 60 days to fix bill issues, without clear documenatation. An overide from a supervisor, might let them go back an extra month, Sounds likes the representatives already engaged to see what's available, to just make sure you were getting all the support possible. If you really want to triple check if there' something someone can do, then of course feel free to contactATTCustomerCare to send a private message. I imagine, the rep who was originally involved in the conversation would have made explicitly clear that the old plans would not be available, and since your sister was authorized to make changes, (by virtue of being able to verify your account information). I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time though -Alex

HT4571 How do I opt out of automatic monthly deductions on Verizon data plan

What isn't clear is how do I opt out of automatic monthly deductions by Verizon after the first month of the plan? I travel twice a year and only need cellular service during those times.

I've been searching Apple's forums for an answer to the exact same question (how to get month-to-month data on a Verizon iPad), and I have found it extremely frustrating to read (time and time again) the answer "Ask Verizon". I have talked with Verizon multiple times and NOT A SINGLE VERIZON REPRESENTATIVE was able to tell me the "loophole" below.
From the Verizon Community Forums (I copied and pasted the italic text below from the linked posting):
Start with a SIM card in the iPad, activate the service when you want to use it.
For example, add the $20 for 1GB for a month plan to the iPad. (All plans auto-renew.)
However, you don't have to "burn" the SIM card every time you cancel... when you sign up to add the data, you can go back in and hit the cancel service button (at any time before it auto renews).
There are two options to cancel the service:
1) Cancel Now --> This burns the SIM and deletes the account (so you get no more data). You need a new SIM next time.
2) Cancel Later --> This SAVES the SIM card, so you can re-activate it at a later point. It also allows you to finish using up the data you already purchased, and cancels the auto-pay. Next time, you can just go back in, and add some new data plan (and 'Cancel Later' again so it doesn't auto-renew).
On the same linked-to forum page, someone replied with this:
And I have been doing this precisely. I don't like the auto-pay so after I pay for the data service I always hit cancel later button on my device and just manually charge it once a month when I need it. Bear in mind that if you do the Cancel later, that you have within 5 month to reactivate it again otherwise it will completely deactivate and you will have to get a new sim card. So make sure you re-activate before 5 month is up.
