Re: Which Verizon plan is ideal for TP? (any VZW employees?)

The premium ($99) offers:
  • Unlimited Text, Picture, Video & Instant Messaging
  • Mobile Email
  • VCAST VPak
  • VZ Navigator
  • Unlimited Mobile Web
  • Unlimited calling to all 80 million Verizon Wireless customers
  • Unlimited Night & Weekend Minutes
  • No Domestic Long Distance Charges
The email and messaging ($120) offers:
  • Unlimited Text, Picture, Video & Instant Messaging
  • Data usage from within the National Enhanced Services and the Extended National Enhanced Services Rate and Coverage Areas
  • Data Access for Email
  • Unlimited Calling to all Verizon Wireless Customers
  • Unlimited Night & Weekend Minutes
  • No Domestic Long Distance Charges
I thought mobile web/email WAS data usage? What's the difference between mobile email and data access for email?

Will the cheaper plan be fine on the TP if I like to browse the web on it a lot? How would tethering work?
1. You cannot put a PDA/Blackberry on a Connect or Premium plan.
2. The Email & Messaging plans are almost never the best deal.
3. Since the plans you mentioned above are both 900 minute plans, do this:

$79.99 - Nationwide Select 900
$29.99 - Email & Web for PDA/Smartphone
$109.98 - TOTAL

You'll get:
  • 900 Anytime Minutes
  • Unlimited Nights & Weekends
  • Friends & Family (Unlimited calling to 5 non-VZW cell phone, landline or toll free 800 number)
  • Unlimited TXT, PIX & FLIX messaging
  • Unlimited Data (mobile web, applications that require data connection, etc.)
  • Unlimited web based or POP3 email

(I'm only highlighting the major features, and not including the minor standard features)
