Will Verizon drop the outrageous $10 data plan soon?

I'm not buying any new phones with VZW until they do. I refuse to buy their outdated "feature" phones to get around it and be locked in for two more years for whatever other fees they feel like coming up with. I'm having a ton of problems with Asurion getting a phone replaced, them sending a defective refurbished one, etc...Asurion is not a good service but that is another topic...
I'm going to stretch these phones out as long as I can and then either move to another carrier or hopefully VZW will drop the requirement. I am happy with just about everything on VZW but this forced data package, and it's been discussed enough in other threads. I just need to know - are there ANY plans anywhere - any VZW reps who know something that'll post from their home computer...are we going to get stuck with this for the long term?

Just to mention it PhoneNerd12, continuing to use Verzon but not buying a new phone or starting a new two year contract really isn't hurting them much, in fact your even benefiting them by not making them give you a new phone for so cheap.
An not that the point of my point is to hurt them per say but more my point is what they really make the big profit in, is the continual monthly charges for what ever it is you are using with them for.
Just my own 2, but if you really want to look out for yourself and are not still with in any contracts, look for another carrier now.
As you may have read, there are many others who have good deals and also I would seriously recommend looking into the pre-paid market too.
That's what I did and I'm saving huge, and even tripled my air time. An I don't have to deal with any contracts or EFT's and I haven't lost one aspect of my cellular reception, and all on one of the most modern smartphones you can get.
Is a win win all around for me.
So do your homework and look around and you'll be a happy camper again before you know it.

I currently have the 2 gig data plan for $50, plus a free 1 gig promotional attachment but Verizon is currently offering the 3 gig data plan for $50, but if I upgrade will I lose the free 1 gig promotion I currently have attached to my account?

I understand I will still be getting 3 gigs of data for the $50, I would just like to continue to have the free 1 gig promotion I was already getting, if you Verizon was willing to do it before then why can't they continue to do it now?

Like Ann154 said, changing plans often results in the loss of any promos you may have. In your case, it makes no difference to the price you will pay - you'll have 3 GB for $50. Whether you have 1GB free, or a better price on the 3GB plan is a wash. I'd leave things alone....

What will happen to my unlimited 3G data plan if VZW gives me the Samsung Droid Charge 4G phone?

I currently have the Samsung Fascinate and the unlimited data plan, with a 20% corporate
discount . The 2-year contract started when I bought the Fascinate in November 2010.
If I'm not mistaken, my unlimited plan is grandfathered in, even after Verizon changed the
2GB limit for data plans.
There is no 4G service in my part of the state. There won't be 4G for at least 2 years,
according to the Verizon corporate store manager. My part of the state was the second
to last to get 3G on the east coast.
If I take Verizon's offer and accept the Samsung Droid Charge 4G as a replacement phone,
what will happento my existing unlimited 3G data plan? Can they activate the 4G phone
on a 3G data plan?
Will the 4G phone pick up 4G signal when I travel to a major city with 4G service? (nearest
city with 4G is 230 miles away)

If I understand their policy correct you will continue your current unlimited 3G plan and have access to 4G in coverage areas as long as you DON'T change your plan. If you change your plan new rates will apply.
Can one of the Verizon guys here verify this?
Consider it verified, Steve!

Will the 9.99 data plan work?

I have a 9.99 data plan and use a KIN TWOm, I also have a Blackberry Curve and like to use it for the GPS capability and geocaching.
Question, can I periodically activate the BB for a few hours simply to use it for the GPS?
Thanks all for your help!

Thank you everyone for your help. You can switch between the KIN and Blackberry as often as you need to. There is no restriction on the number of feature changes including add-on data features each month; that only applies to calling plan changes. Since the 29.99 data plan is unlimited, you will not have to worry about data overages from partial billing. However, the 9.99 data plan will be prorated if it is not active for the entire month. If you switch the KIN back on the same day, you shouldn't have any issues. If you do have data overage charges for one day the KIN was reactivated in the same day, contact customer service to review your charges for accuracy. If there are any errors while each phone was active, we will credit the charges.

Why won't verizon sell me an international data plan for my new iPad?

Why won't verizon sell me an international data plan for my new iPad?

Thanks for your response Meg. Verizon is definitely not customer friendly. I do have the monthly prepaid domestic data service that I subscribed to from my iPad when I bought it a few months ago. They didn't advise me of any other available plans at the time. You are correct that they are now saying that in order to get an international plan I need to cancel my current monthly plan through one Verizon department (and abandon any remaining data mb) and then subscribe to a contract plan (handled by a different verizon department). But here's the catch: in order to get international service I need to be a contract customer for six months (which doesn't help me as I am going to Europe next week). Of course, if I had bought an ATT iPad I wouldn't be shut out like this since their monthly international plans are readily available through the iPad at any time. I feel that Apple and Verizon should not have touted the new Verizon iPad as comparable to ATT's internationally (which they did) without fully disclosing the hoops one has to jump through.

Will verizon get the blackberry torch?

Will verizon get the blackberry torch? I am incredibly picky when it comes to phones and i have fallen in love with the blackberry torch but i do not want at&t service at all so I figured I would ask here hoping someone might have the answer.

Have a link? As mentioned, my research couldn't find anything about CDMA.
Would love to read an official statement. Thanks.
BTW, know what is listed at Shop BlackBerry, they never sell anything except GSM.

HT204023 If my hotspot is on but no one is connected, will it charge money from my data plan?

If my hotspot is on but no one is connected, will it charge money from my data plan?

I beg to differ. We've had people accidentally leave their hotspot on in our company and they've experienced data overages. Always turn it off if you're not actually using it.

Will Verizon offer the Wi-Fi calling with cell number?

Will Verizon offer the Wi-Fi calling with cell number? I get horrible reception and this would be a better solution than buying a "signal booster" for my home and office.

No, Verizon Wireless doesn't offer wifi calling at this time.

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.

Can I switch to the new 150MB Data Plan?

I currently have the Family Plan 700 min package. I have 2 phones. I have a Samsung Omnia which has the $29.99 unlimited MB package.
I also have a Samsung Rogue with the $9.99 25MB package.
On the Rogue, is there any way I can swtich to the new $15 150MB package? I no longer see it listed in the data plans on Verizon's website, but I am unable to switch to the new plan through my account. It is either my current plan, or the unlimited plan.
Will I ever be able to switch?
Thanks!

Yes you can switch. You may have to call in though,

Is Verizon trimming $10 off most data plans -- or not?

The changes aren't effective until tomorrow (Feb. 5):
Some Changes coming to More Everthing.!

When will Verizon get the Passport? Possible timeline?

Who do we need to be talking to have Verizon carry the Blackberry Passport?

Like Jay.M. said, it doesn't look like we're getting the Passport. Chen said it was an AT&T exclusive in the U.S. but he didn't say if that was forever. On the off chance that the exclusive is only for a period of time, I would suppose 6 months after it's released on AT&T we could see it on Verizon. But that's a big and shaky "IF". Right now it doesn't look like they're planning to make a CDMA version of the Passport at all. Nothing has going to the FCC in CDMA, and anyway it hasn't even been released by AT&T. Looks like we Verizon users will get the BlackBerry Classic instead of Passport.

When I put my iphone5 on charge no matter where I am and even when I have full signal my phone will always drop the signal and continue to have no signal until I take it off charge. Is anyone else having this problem?

Everytime I put my iphone5 on charge now matter where I am and even when I have signal it always drops the signal and continues to have no signal until I take it off charge. I have the up to date software on it and everything and is relatively new. Is anyone else having this problem and how do I fix it?

This is a user to user support forum. We are all iphone users just like you.
You are not addressing Apple here at all.
This is an odd way to ask your fellow iphone users for help. Berating oterh users will not help you.
"it's too fragile"
No it is not. i have never damaged one, nor has anyone I know.
" U loose data when Ur phone is locked"
No you don't. Why do you think this?
"and there is no customer support!!! "
Wrong yet again. Apple has an 800 number and they have many retail stores and they have support articles that you can access using the search bar. Or you can contact them throgh express lane online
"but I will go back with Blackberry "
Please do.
Good ridance

My GTX 580 OC will not drop the core clock frequency when idle

The model is N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC .
I have read some reviews said that the GTX580 drops the core clock down to about 50MHz when idle. But my card will always stay at 823MHz. Is this a issue or it's just working as intended? Can i have the clock auto-tunable?
Thanks in advance
acui.

Thank you

I keep getting the "connect to itunes" screen and have to restore my ipad. it will also drop the wifi connection every few mintues. what can be causing this?

I keep getting the "connect to itunes" screen and have to connect to itunes and do a restore on it. It will not pick up my ipad so I either have to do a restore or restore to new and it will work fine for a day or so except for dropping the wifi connection. What can be causing this? I have had this pad since January of this year and have not had any problems until recently.

If you have to keep restoring your iPad with iTunes repeatedly and there is no change after restoring as a new iPad or not from the iPad's backup, your iPad has a major problem - likely a hardware problem. The iPad includes a one year warranty. You can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.
