Very deceptive advertising

admin did you see at&t's real 3g coverage.. it's terrible. it really is the map that verizon shows. at&t just hides it behind smoke and mirrors so people don't get to see the real map, because if they saw the real map they might not sign up for their service.

I dont think coverage is the real issue - i mean who cares if there is 3g in montana - the issue is throughput and at the moment ATT have an issue with the number of iphone users.

Lets see if Verizon can handle the massive growth on their network over 2 years that Droid might bring.

We'll be watching.

VZW puts more money back into their network than any other wireless carrier. They put 1 billion dollars into their network every 60 days. Your droid will have MMS on release because the network will support it. iPhone still cant tether because the network cant support it.

Is there a 5gb data limit on the Droid from verizon?

I thought it was unlimited like ATT iPhone?

Right now Verizon's only data cap is for tethering. If you are just using the regular data on the phone their is no cap.

Technically, that's not correct. There's a 5GB cap all the way around. Trust me as someone that's been kicked off of data plans twice for exceeding that limit.

Well that just plain sucks.

I think i'll be sticking with AT&T if that is the case. The downloads might be slower but what the point if i cant download what i want.

5gb is like nothing.

Technically it is correct. your above statment is not correct and ofthedamned is 100% correct.

OK, my first question is....WTF were you doing to hit 5 GB on a phone?!?!?

Second, I know they can suspend your data plan for a month if you are using excessive data (suspected of tethering without paying), but they don't start hitting you with overages or anything.

You are exactly right. We would never kick you from a plan. EVER. With mobile broadband connect, if you go over your 5g allotment you are charged overage on the new plans and on the old plans we would add a feature to your account called PFO. That would basically slow down your connection after hitting the 5g cap. We would never kick someone off of a data plan. If you go over thats just money in the bank.

5gb is hardly anything when it comes to smartphones.

however i did just call verizon and their response was the $29.99 plan is unlimited data.

We'll see. I'm a heavy user of data on my plan. If i get booted for using too mmuch data then i'll be cancelling my contract and moving back to ATT where unlimited does mean unlimited.

[xjman349]

You could have saved yourself the call and just asked me considering you will get the same info. In case you didn't already know I work for Verizon Wireless. lol

Been with them for over 7 years. The first few times, there were a couple of warnings. Then, when I couldn't finally connect, I called and they had terminated the data portion. After a period of time, I was allowed back on. It happened again 3 years later (around 4 years ago.).

Perhaps they've changed policy, but yeah, it has happened to me, so just going off of historical data.
