Are phones coming in higher than $199 with a 2 year contract these days? I imagine the Droid 3 will be around that price. Anyone else feeling that all of the latest phone offerings and the upcoming ones are just so boring? It's like the same poo poo but with better specs, it's getting harder to tell them apart. Not really any innovation. I guess my 3rd Droid X has made me bitter. Love random reboots :/

jfreder posted:Heard some rumblings on twitter (@p3droid) that Verizon is switching to tiered data on July 7. I have an upgrade but none of the 4g phones seem that enticing right now especially since getting cm7 on my X. Really hoping these rumors don't pan out as I can't see the Bionic being out by then. I thought we would only lose unlimited data if we had to change our actual calling plans. Upgrading your phpne and extending your contract would allow you to keep the unlimited data even after they announced the tiered data plans wouldn't it? Unless they decide that you can only buy an iPhone 5 or a Droid Bionic without selecting the new plans. For example they did that before when you could no longer choose the pay per MB data plan. I think the XV6700 was the last phone to have that option. Hopefully a Verizon store rep can clear this up.

SpacedOut posted:Changing your rateplan generally wouldn't be related to your data plan. You should be able to switch to rateplan at any time without penalty. I am gonna quote this because I knew people would start with the freak out once tiered data was announced. If you look at the droid life article they updated and said it looks like existing customers are fine and still can upgrade devices and not lose unlimited data. I don't think it's time to curse Verizon and plan on murdering their babies just yet.

sadus posted:I'm switching carriers even if I do get grandfathered into unlimited data, that could be taken away at any point and regardless it would be like condoning rape to stick around and support such a sleazy company. Reminds me of when my home town got its first draconian cable modem provider and you could go over your monthly quota in just a few hours. So you are going to Sprint then? Because AT&T already does this and they bought Tmobile. Have fun with lovely coverage. Anyone try the Mifi 4510L yet? I was hoping to replace the 3g ones we use for work and holy poo poo does the 4g one suck. I couldn't get it to work on an XP laptop and then if for some reason it switched from 4g to 3g it couldn't handle the handoff and the laptops would disconnect. My dumbass didn't test it and gave it to an employee to use in the field right away. I imagine the Samsung one isn't any better

Just keep an eye out on places like Howard Forums and learn about any trial plans they offer, I was able to get unlimited minutes for any cell(any provider) calling for cheaper than my 3000 minute plan which saved a total of $100 a month on the bill. The promotion was expired by a month too and they still gave it to me. You just have to be polite as hell and not insist on anything

They had tiered pricing before mobile phones went that route

I had the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MiFi™ 4510L and had to return it. It was really lovely, constant disconnects and I couldn't get it to work on every laptop I needed to work on. The hand off from 4g to 3g would cause it to stop working as well. Right now I am back to using the older 3g mifi. This was in Houston and not in the middle of nowhere

On the other hand, you can do it for any working Verizon phone so you don't have to go the Palm or even smartphone route. You don't start the contract until you take the subsidy for equipment. http://www.amazon.com/Palm-Pixi-Plus-Verizon-Contract/dp/B004IPAC10 I googled this earlier today and might buy one to hold me over till I decide on what to get next, my Droid X makes me and the newest update made me harder.

The replacement unit had the same radio issues and I was experiencing random reboots which was probably more of an issue with the Android OS. I went from 4g to 3g and I still have unlimited data. I am probably done with Android phones for now. Probably make the jump to the next iPhone. Although from the rumor sites it look as though it will be more of an iPhone 4s upgrade and there might not be a 5 coming out this year. Who knows.

I have to plug it in, connect to the network, disconnect, and then reconnect to use the internet, and it will occasionally freeze up, which means I have to physically disconnect the modem from my laptop and start the process all over again. I'm probably gonna switch to a different model, see if that makes a difference, but is this a normal problem? I had the 4g mifi and it did the same poo poo. I think it's more on an issue with the 4g networks because the 3g usb and the 3g mifi I have work great all the time

Im a dumb gently caress and instead of transferring an upgrade to my line(2 gb data) I ordered the sg4 for my dad on his unlimited line. He uses a lot of data so I need to activate the sg4 on my line so he keeps the unlimited data and then switch the phone back to him. Can I do this from home? Should I call support first(I think the order number will be tied to his phone number) or will this have to be handled in a corporate store? Oh and I have an iphone 5 so not sure if that matters sim wise

Don't buy a Droid4 for $99. I can't believe they are still that price anyway. I wouldn't even take it for free. Sounds like the $110 would include share data so she could use the hotspot feature on the smartphone. However it would suck to have your laptop connected to your phone all the drat time. It's gonna drain the battery on the cell phone quickly and if she takes a call it will kill the connection to the laptop.

If she is 66 then she is probably just using it for facebook and email since she was using a verizon hotspot before. You need to find out what her current data limit is on her account and just match that. You can log on to the website and find this info. You can also find the data usage so maybe she is only using 1 gig of her 3 gig allotment. Here is the link for that Droid Razr Maxx for $70.00 Just click individual plan to see the price http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-RAZR-MAXX-HD-Wireless/dp/B009P5WWPC/ref=sr_1_3?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1369344766&sr=1-3

Dr. Fastus y'all are going to a corporate store right and not an Authorized reseller right? There are probably some decent resellers but I think I would prefer the corporate stores. So for the Verizon workers any ideas if Verizon has a email, phone number etc that I can report/ask about a dead zone area. I live in a burb of Houston(Sugar Land, Population of about 80k) and there is a weird stretch of highway of around 2 miles that doesn't get any data service or it's extremely goddamn slow. It's just annoying but now a client wants to do more meetings at a hotel in that area. The data card I have is through Verizon and the client uses Verizon as well. Well we had a meeting at the hotel in question and no one had any data access for the entire time. They aren't moving the meeting anywhere else so I told them they are just gonna have to pay the high hotel meeting internet rates. I thought I might try and contact Verizon to see why this happens. I know this is fruitless but who knows. And yes it's not just inside the hotel it's literally all along the road and any bank, restaurant or whatever in that area won't have access to Verizon data.

I've read about this on a few sites and it seems like it could be a nice option for someone who may be looking to upgrade their GNex in the near future (me). Everything I've seen about the S4 looks pretty nice and if it were a nexus phone for all intents and purposes, and it had LTE support, I'd be sold. Seems the "developer edition" isn't stock android but would be closer to a nexus than the standard S4. It just looks like the bootloader is unlocked. It's not gonna be like that Nexus s4 for AT&T and Tmobile that is coming next month sadly

It's come up a few times before but yeah don't waste your subsidiary pricing on an old phone. It's a hassle but you should probably just buy an iPhone and sell it to someone for a discounted price. Use the money you made off that and buy a used S3. If money is tight you can justify this since you can potentially make $100 off the process. Of course if I had to pay for my cell and it wasn't provided through work I would say gently caress that to Verizon prices and have a lovely plan through someone like Cricket.
