One More Question =)

Okay…does Verizon have any internet plans like T-Mobile? Not like using your phone as an internet modem or anything but a plan like T-Mobile’s T-Mobile Web. You can check sports, chat, search things, e-mail, ect… It’s all unlimited too. No data or airtime charges for being on it. Does Verizon have something like this? Sprint?....Prices for either of them? I checked both websites and can’t seem to find anything…

Thanks Again

well you can get Vcast which for 15$ a month gives you unlimited video on demand, unlimited mobile web without using airtime, unlimited airtime for get it now/pix messaging/downloads. you can use mobile web to get sports scores/stats/storys and vcast to get video clips from sports/entertainment/weather/news.


more then that you can get a PDA phone an have true internet using nationalaccess or broadband access networks depending on which phone you get, its 44.99 unlimited, 24.99 for 10 megs of transfer, or pay as you go .015 per kb. the unlimited includes wireless sync for free.


lastly if you get the V phone (lg vx9800) it has wireless sync so for 5$ a month (i think plus airtime) you can get your email on the phone. hope that helps

nah vcast includes several things.

if you have a Vcast music phone the Vcast Vpack w/ music includes:

Unlimited basic video clips (98% of the video's are basic or free, some are premium and prices are clearly shown)
Unlimited Vcast music store browsing and previewing (downloading charges are seperate and clearly listed)
Mobile web 2.0 (normally Mobile web is 5$ + airtime)
Unlimited Airtime for Mobile web
Unlimited Airtime for Picture/flix mail
Unlmited Airtime for Get it now Browsing/downloading
Unlimited Airtime for Vcast browsing.


the Vcast Vpack video only for non vcast music handsets is the same price and includes all the same minus the vcast music store.


again hope that helps.

oh ya forgot, also the vcast subscription includes unlimited airtime for vcast games (most of the newer games are Vcast games with improved graphics and what not, they use airtime normally but the sub provides unlimited)

again, glad to help.

I think you might be thinking of Mobile Web. I don't think there's anything on there to chat, but you can do pretty much everything else you mentioned. Most phones VZW sells allow you to use it, and it runs $5 a month plus airtime (i.e. time used on the MW counts as regular minutes).

V-Cast is interesting but IMO there's not enough on there for the average user.
