Re: Can i send sms and mms without being charged for data?
Info From Rep.

You should not be charged data usage for using your mms or sms messaging under any circumstances. If you are being charged you will need to contact VZW tech support to have them look into the matter and credit back when appropriate. If your pics are large or if they are flix this may take longer to send hence would be hung in the system for possibly a longer period of time. again this should not charge as most of the time the system will tell and credit it back for you anyways.

As for mms it may charge as that does go over the data network and "CAN" get hung for a few seconds in the system causing a data charge (normally around 1.99) if this happens often then again you would need to contact a tech.

SMS travels over your 1X connection and NEVER uses data the would be charged. No matter what you do. As long as its a standard sms with 160 characters or less (VZW character limit intercarrier will differ) there will be no data charge if you have a sms/mms plan.
