Questions about data devices and plans
Hello!
I just canceled my VZW data card that I had for about 2.5 years. I used to use it every workday, but ever since I got my XV6800 with email pushing to it from my Exchange server, I do not have as much need for it, especially at $60/month.

#1 yes
#2 no, SERO is gone
Actually, SERO *will* work. The voice plans are pretty much gone, but the data plan remained the same. That stays at $49.99
Compass 597 on $49.99 on the website! its a steal. but once again, you CAN setup SERO with thebroadband card.
