Plans with the touch

[BlindRacer]

For you guys with the Touch on Verizon, what data plan do you have?
I've been told a few different things by all the reps at the stores and I don't know what is correct. I've been told that it's 30 dollars and 45 dollars for the cheapest data plan.

I currently am on America's Choice family plan with my wife, and was told that I can just add on the data plan to that. I've also been told that I have to have Nationwide family plan, then I can add the data plan on.

These reps are telling me such different things, I was hoping that some of you could clear up my confusion. Thanks

bump. Someone who has Verizon with this phone, please tell me what plan you have.

Call verizon tell them you're interested in adding data to your phone.

Let them explain to you what data plan you need, get the price. Tell them you want to think about it and you want to know what the code is so that you can ask for it later.

If you keep getting different codes and different prices I guess its just a matter of choosing the cheapest one

I'll do that, but in the mean time, how much is your plan? And is it a current plan?

Well, there's a $30 unlimited without push email, BUT it's only for certain phones NOT for the Vogue. Only MotoQ, um... and the 6800, I think.

Otherwise, $45 a month for Unlimited
$20, 5MB limit
Pay as you go $0.015/KB

there's a 20 dollar plan that's a 5 mb limit? I've searched the verizon site and asked probably 4 different reps now, and I've never been told about this.

If I were to use the internet only a little, use the weather, and use MMS messaging, how fast would this 5 mb go?

I also have a 5 dollar sms and mms messaging plan from a long time ago. If I send/recieve mms, would this count against the 5 mb's of data, or just against my sms/mms plan?

OK, here is the entire scoop. Anyone else reading check the date to make sure it is accurate.
Verizon has data that is unlimited that works out to be around $40/line/mth. They also have a $25 plan that gives you what I thought was 10mb, not 5, or you could pay as you go. If I were you, to play it safe for the first month or two, get the unlimited package to see how much you use it. Much better to buy $15 worth of insurance then to get a $100 overage charge for data.

Secondly, I would call customer care, or find a Direct Store (usually a service center) to get the information that you want.

**DO NOT use an agent of Verizon.

First of all, they aren't able to give you the Verizon discount for the new every two program, they only give you promotional pricing. At a direct store, you get the promotional pricing, plus the additional discount of $50 or $100 depending on which plan you are currently on. Not only that, but they also only do phones, they don't also sell radios, or TV's, etc..

Thay gave me #2 of the unlimited that would be $90.00 a month for just door #1 ($20.00 a month) .... T M Z

[BlindRacer]

Great idea on getting the unlimited first, but how hard is it to switch from the unlimited to the 25 dollar plan? Would they hassle me about it, or try to say I can't?

Also, where are these plans on their website? I'd like to read about them if possible.

I was so reluctant to get this phone, dreading the 45 dollars a month. Thanks for the info.

Again, could I get a link or something for where this information is? Thanks so much.

I was told that In order to get my advanced device discount (100 smackers) I had to sign up for the 45 dollar unlimited plan for the first month. The verizon csr told me that after one month if I didn't use email that I could drop to a 30 dollar plan for unlimited no email -- no biggy here -- I don't push email anyway. SO after my first month i am going to switch down. Oh btw I also have the family plan america's choice with four other phones added on.
