Seriously VZW .... wow!

Did you do a family share plan or does each phone have its own 700 minutes? 120-140 per phone puts you around your 276.**

I think Vulcan hit it right on. You have probably 1 and 1/2 months of service fees plus the activation fees and all the taxes and BS associated with it. Before I got my fiance a droid we paid ~$125/ month for the 700 min plan and 1 data plan, so tack on another $30/month for your second phone and your at $155 (and as said above, your data will NOT be free, EVER). So figure in 1.5 months at $155 is ~$233 tack on some activation fees (used to be $30 each, so another $60) and there you go. Your bill sounds about right. Be a little more constructive and review your bill IN DETAIL. Then, if indeed they are at fault proceed accordingly. They do make mistakes but more often it's something the end-user is overlooking (like the prorated 1/2 cycle). Look at your bill it will probably have two service schedules on it.

You don't have your location posted but pricing (and more importantly promotions) can very according to region but the quote of $120-$140 for both phones is low (well, I guess before taxes maybe) but depending on just what he signed you up for I would say expect at least $160 (taxes and fees) for both unless you have a discount plan through work or something.

 

+'s & -'s to each. Rather than getting the second phone free your gonna pay 400.00 + tax for your phones, then AT&T no longer does unlimited data so you have to watch your usage more, service isn't so great on AT&T, but hey you get a few more minutes + rollover (that is if they are still doing that)... guess its more -'s than +'s, but hey what ever floats your boat. Have fun with the iphone.

Be sure to hold the phone only as lord Jobs instructs so you can actually make a call, in the few instances when you can actually get a strong enough signal to make a call. Good luck with that.

 

2 months of data free? Sure I could see that. 2 years of data though, no way. That wouldn't even make sense when you just signed a 2 year contact. I agree with the rest of the responses here also, the prorated charges, plus any fees and taxes and the bill sounds right.

Waive the data plans for 2 years......dude you misunderstood, a rep can't even do that. And I guarantee nobody else at verizon would do that for you either.

 

I believe what the rep was saying is that, for the second line, you would ONLY pay for data. The promotion we have going on right now (Smartphones Talk Free) would back that up. That promotion will credit the second line the $9.99 for 2 years but not the data. Tell us how that bill actually breaks down instead of just the amount, if you don't mind of course.
I'm telling you this not as a VZW rep but, as a previous AT&T customer/iPhone owner: you won't be happy! I was with them for nearly 4 years and have owned all but the iPhone4. Its a great phone. The network its on, however, is not.

DroidForums junkie!!

 

Unlimited data = $30/monthx2=$60
700 minute talk and unlimited text = $100

$100+60=$160. $35/activationx2=$70 $160=70=$230

$230+taxes=$260, give or take 5%.

Sounds about right to me. The second line would be another $10, but since the current promotion is for the second line to be free that means that for the next two years you're saving a total of $240 over the cost of the plan without the promotion. Sorry you misunderstood.
