Guest jaycarl Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) Email & Web for Smartphone/PDA No tethering, unless you know whats up = 5GB cap, if you go over There Is No Additional Fee. 29.99 month, THE CHEAPER BETTER DEAL. Unlimited Broadband With tethering = 5GB cap, if you go over You Have to Pay a Fee. 59.99 month As far as I can tell there is no benefit for anyone to pay more than $30 for Unlimited Data. If I'm wrong please inform me. I have the Email & Web for Smartphone data plan. To test what would happen, I used 18GB of data in a monthly billing cycle. My bill was exactly the same as it has always been without a peep from VZW. Hope this helps someone save a few duckets.

Guest Rob Storm Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 **Note** If you utilize Verizon's "Wireless Sync" application, you must have the $45 plan as it is the only plan that it will work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest necosino Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Ok, or you can use PIM Backup (Free), Activesync (free), SPB Backup, Resco backup, etc etc etc etc.. Rather than pay every month :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WrathX Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Isn't this a bit of a gamble though? I would hate to reduce my plan, put several gigs of usage and then all of the sudden get my next bill and see a several hundred dollar increase in the bill. What's to say that Verizon doesn't wisen up and start charging people properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest necosino Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Nope, I download about 3 movies a week (750Mb ea., 2.25Gb total, about 7GB/month + web browsing and streaming web radio) and have never been billed in excess or even cut off :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than pay every month :D Wireless Sync allows you to keep your outlook and phone synced with email as they come into your computer. How does MyPhone or PIM Backup to do that? I personally use it on one of my phones. I changed my plans around and was unable to use Wireless Sync with the lower plan. The $45.00 plan allows for secure email which Wireless Sync requires.

Guest necosino Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I scheduled periodic backups to run automatically (usually every 3 days). And for secure email, I just use SkyFire and haven't run into a problem yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's to say that Verizon doesn't wisen up and start charging people properly? Did you read the first post? The $29.99 data plan has a 5GB cap but VZW claims it to be Unlimited. If you go over that cap there is no additional fee whatsoever. This is confirmed through a Rep at the VZW store. So my question to you is, what exactly is the gamble here?

Guest kdkinc Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Hi, I've used similar programs of getting rid of the $15.00 fee. Ive used the internet connection program on BW's Roms. I'm am now using the internet connection program on BG's newest ROM because VZW access won't connect. A feature is missing on the data connection and so the only way I can get internet is through the internet sharing program . When ever I do a speed test these internet sharing programs run at least 50% slower. Instead of my 1000Kbps I now get 500 or less Kbps. That's why I like to use VZW access. What is it I'm missing or don"t understand about the internet sharing programs?? PS both great ROM's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day, i used to get around the same speeds as you using VZW Access. Now that I use only ICS with Blazingwolfs rom I get exactly the same speeds. So I don't know why your experiencing a slow down with ICS. There is a thread about this somewhere on Modaco. Its called something like VZ Access vs ICS.

Guest pillagingjack Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I work for an indirect agent for Verizon. The current terms and conditions that are in place for the email and web plan are our safety net for not being charged for overages in data. The unlimited broadband package was originally introduced for aircards and the netbook. If you are on the unl broadband plan for the omnia, it will work, but it is the WRONG feature added to the account. The reason for the increase in price is that the aircard/netbook uses only data. If your omnia was using ONLY data, then that is the plan Verizon would default to and make everyone have. However, since the omnia is a voice/data product, Verizon "cuts us a deal" and only charges $30/month. That said, if any of you are on the wrong plan, or are even on the $44.99 data plan and are not using the VZW Sync, then let me know and I can switch you over with out a hitch. ****Further more! If you do need the over the air backup that VZW offers, there are features that do the exchange server back up, such as myphone and what not. I have not found any to my liking save one! I use the google sync, which is working great for me with contacts and calendars. It does not yet support push mail, and it may not ever incorporate that, however the contacts and calendar are spot on. If you have any questions, PM me and I will give you my direct contact info. If you have any questions regarding my legitimacy, feel free to search me out on pdaphonehome.com (mainly the xv6900 forums) and you can see my track record.

Your the one who informed me about the $29.99 plan back in mid 2008 on Pdaphonehome i760 thread. I used to pay $60 a month for the Unlimited Data plan so I could tether. You have always been a huge asset to Verizon customers. Take Care Buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
