Question

ok, find out when you upgraded to your current phone. verizon makes you eligible to renew/upgrade/whatever a few months before you actually got your phone. for example, if you got your phone in aug 2008, you should be eligible to upgrade in june (maybe april, can't remember if it's 20 or 22 months) of 2010. so if you got your phone in aug '08 (assuming a 2-yr contract), you are good to go by now.

and yes, it has vibrate functionality for everything (and if not, there are apps that control that)

welcome to the forum!

 

as for plans: with verizon, you MUST have the $29.99 unlimited data plan (at least) with any smartphone. just get the cheapest talk plan with unlimited texts... mine runs just under $100/mo with insurance

 

Yes I'm hoping that I will be able to upgrade to the X on the 15th also (got Droid either on launch day weekend or week after)

 

Are you the only line on the account? Primary? 85 a month isn't bad for a smartphone honestly. Monthly, the cost should be the exact same for all smartphones. Try customer service to see if they can offer you a text and data only plan..I believe they have one but am unsure of the cost. Yes, pretty much all phones have vibrate now so you should be fine.

 

I see. Is she the primary? Or are you? Are you guys on a Verizon plan or still Alltel?

 

She is primary since my aunt had transfered me to moms plan. we are Verizon.[/QUOTE]

You should be good to go then.

 

theres a $35 calling plan that includes unlimited texting and voice is 45 cents a minute if used. add 29.99 to that and your bill will be around $65 and taxes per month.
