noo the 5 mb limit is NOT FOR CELL PHONE INTERNET!!!!!!! its for the internet cards for people with laptops!

I can confirm the info in Post #26 of this thread is still accurate.

When it was released in April, the $29.99 Email and Web for PDA plan (unlimited data, with a CAP mentioned in the fine print just like VZW's other "Unlimited" data plans) only supported 3 phones... The Moto Q9M, VX6800 and SMT5800. Since then, support for the Moto Q has been added, taking it to 4 phones.

No other phones have been added, and Verizon will not comment on dates when other phones might be able to make use of this cheaper plan.

As for will pix messages take data. When using a PDA/SMartPhone, it costs just like your current VZW cell phone plan.

On the Nationwide calling plans (established Nov 2007), data is billed per MB, but there is debate on if MMS message data is billable. It appears that it should NOT cost you data.

BUT, the PDA/Smartphone data plans cover your data usage, so...

Is this true? Can anyone else confirm or deny this?


So I should assume that my mms messaging will count against the data plan?
If so, then my picture messaging alone would get me close to the 10mb limit (if that plan even exists)

How likely is it that the touch will end up on the 29.99 plan? Is it something like as a phone gets older, they're going to bump it to that plan? Or is it totally random? Has anyone heard rumors or speculation on if and when this could happen?

I am going to be switching companies, and the new one will give me a MotoQ for free or have me pay the difference between the Q and a Touch (which I want to use). I currently use a corporate plan with a Blackberry. I would like to port my current number. What discounts can my new company ask for to get the price of the phone down close to or same as the Q (online prices are 99 vs 249, and my new company told me 299!!?)?

Obviously want to spend the least amount upfront (if any), data plan will be unlimited with push email.

Need advice soon!

Thanks.

Thanks for the ThreadJack. The price of the phone depends on contract time and what not. I think the price right now is 309 with a 70 dollar mail in rebate for a 2 year agreement. (that's what it is at my local store)

Now back on topic please...

Excuse me?! The thread is about phone and plan costs, isn't it? How did I jack the thread?

[BlindRacer]

I apologize. I didn't mean to sound rude or anything. I started this thread looking for specific information, and I don't want it to get side tracked so I can not get the information I was looking for. This thread is about data plans that are offered, and not about the phone price.

By all means, start a new thread with your question. Since it's now buried on the 4th page of an unrelated thread, it may not get the answers that you'd want.

Again, my apologies.
