Can someone tell if text messaging is included with the V Cast vpak $15.00 service or do I need to add $5 as a seperate fee for 250 text messages?

in the commercial where the garbage truck driver picks up the van, and chad saves the day, anyone notice anything missing??

the verizon guy was not in the commercial.

just thought it was funny 🙂

Why does everyone say, "why would you want a pda phone without a data plan". Some people just don't need to get on the net, but maybe would like to check email via wifi. Some people just like to be able to sync with there pc to keep Outlook info up to date on the phone. Some people just like the other features and size of some of the new phones. Sorry for spouting off, but some people on here are way too hung up on having a data plan and probably pay lots of wasted money for it!

Starting tomorrow Verizon will be selling popular phones for the price of one!

This also goes along with all BlackBerry's (Yes, the Storm too.)

So you buy one Storm, you get one FREE.

Sounds pretty good to me!

T-Mobile gets top honors in J.D. Power & Associates survey

From Phonearena

http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/T-Mobile-gets-top-ho ... »

"Everyone knows it and dreads the thought of having to speak to a customer care representative about an issue about your wireless service. Chances are though, if you’re a T-Mobile subscriber, you’ll probably get the best customer service. There was a survey conducted by J.D. Power and Associates that rates the quality of customer support service handled by phone, retail stores, and online divisions. The annual report documented the overall customer care performance of the wireless carriers in the United States. T-Mobile received the best ra...

Ok, so, im looking at the coverage map because Verizon has added the towers that Unicel had to CDMA (GSM is still in use for Roaming), and i notice that ALASKA had Verizon Pre Paid coverage.

As you know, Pre Paid can only access Verizons home network, but can Roam on other networks.

Did verizon add coverage in Alaska or buy something there?

How long before Verizon has the new BB 8900?

This has been a frustrating experience.

I've been struggling with my Motorola 180e for the past 2 years or so. About a year ago, the power connector on this phone stopped working about 90% of the time. When I want to charge the thing, I need to sit there for 20 minutes each time, carefully aligning, bracing and taping the phone until I get a power connection. Very often, I have to do this more than once a charge. I'm fed up and I want a new phone.

So I go to Verizon's phone offerings...and maybe it's me...but it appears that VZW's phone offerings are either cheap, introductory crap...or real expensive palm-like devices. And there's not many choices either!!!

I want a phone that gets good reception, has tri mode operation, sound...

Is anyone here using a Zagg Invisible Shield on your phone? Maybe a different brand? I'm seriously considering an LG Dare but I would want to protect it. Do these shields work? Are they worth the money? One thing I was wondering is if it changes the responsiveness of the touch screen. Does it increase friction on the screen so that your finger doesn't slide as easy as it should? Any experience or input is greatly appreciated!

I just read something in Consumer Reports about Verizon allowing you to use phones from other carriers as long as they meet some specifications. Does anyone have any more information about this?

I have been eligible for a new phone for a few months but haven't upgraded because I don't like any of Verizon's phones. I think they have a pretty poor selection of phones - it would be great if we could buy a phone elsewhere and use it on Verizon's network.

Will Verizon be doing away with the early upgrade after a year anytime soon (or have they already?)

Instead of Cutting Jobs, Verizon Cuts Incentives, Discounts on Phones

Verizon
Verizon Wireless next month will make drastic changes to two of their most popular programs, targeted at adding and retaining customers.

First, on February 15, Verizon will discontinue their 30 Day Test Drive program. The program allows customers to activate a new line of service, and have their voice charges refunded… if they elect to port out within the month to another provider. This was a key tactic that Verizon used to take advantage of Local Number Portability. However, no other carrier matched the offer, and facing high costs from an increased handset return rate, the company will end the program...

I changed my phone from the storm to the Lg Choc 3...today I reactivated my storm online..wanted to make sure everything was ok before I made a final decision to sell or whatever...then put my chocolate back on................my brother tonight went to activate it on his line and they say that it is already activated...I called vzw and the rep said the choc shows on my line so was not sure why that would be...any ideas? is it because I swapped and am having it activated again same day? thanks all

Ok,

So I've been waiting for this unit for quite some time and I was finally able to sit down and activate the device this morning. I have also included a link to Flickr where I have some unboxing photos of the device for your viewing pleasure 🙂. Now lets get down to the Nitty Gritty of this bad boy.

First thoughts....

Fit and Finish--
The device is sharp, it comes in a sleek black housing with 4 nice blue LED indicators for: Power, System status, WAN, and GPS. No other lights are on the device. The unit also has a small black pop up antenna. It looks sort of like an older motorola surfboard cable modem. I really like the look and it's one tech accessory that I won't mind having on display.

Function--
Setup was simple. ...
(continues)

I currently have Alltel.

When I log into their website, I can change my own ESN/MEID.

What I want to do is switch over to a Verizon phone.

Would I have any troubles?

Just thought i would put this out, anyone who might like a BlackBerry Pearl from Verizon may want to get it.

There fixing to stop selling them.

That's a reason why there FREE w/ 2 year voice and data plan.

Im wondering if the Pearl Flip will take its place?

Any ideas? 🤨

Finally,

Some new BB love for verizon customers. While I wish it was the CDMA Bold or Curve 2, the CDMA version of the pearl flip will have to do.

Enjoy!

I will be opening Verizon Wireless Premium Retailer stores in the DFW area.

I am very excited about this opportunity as I sold Verizon in the past and have admired Verizon as a competitor for some time.

So my new found interest in this forum was not for trolling purposes but to begin getting a feel for a segment (albeit small and somewhat biased) of the Verizon community.
