Verizon Data Options for me

[hoffm11]

Hi,

I am looking to possibly get a data plan to just check my google optimized portable (reader, gmail, etc). I know it doesn't take much bandwidth. Is the 10MB plan enough for this?

What other plans should I look into?

Should I just increase my text messaging plan to SMS for sports scores, news, etc?

Thanks

If you have the q9m get the 30.00 unlimited plan.
If you have the q, then be careful with usage with the 10mb plan.

I called vzw yesterday and that $30 unlimited plan is just for BlackBerry users :lame:

*edit someone please correct me if Im wrong and if you would give me a link to where it says this "officially."


I tried the 10mb plan for a 2weeks, I kept checking how much I was using and after reviewing my usage I called back and they where happy to put me on the $49 unlimited plan and back date it to cover the charges.

the person you spoke to is wrong...it also applies to the q9m, the 6800 and the 5800 phones, just not the original q.

just don't use push email/ corporate email.

Push mail is "wireless sync" correct? Or does syncing w/Exchange the same thing?

correct on both counts I believe.

I don't know that they would really care about Exchange push mail. I think they just want you to pay more if you use their "Wireless Sync" service for push email from Gmail, etc. If you use that, you are using their servers, Exhchange wouldn't be.

they told me that corporate mail that isn't pop3 is violating T.O.S. and you will be bumped to the higher plan.
