verizon shorting us on internet??????

My sister use to work for a guy that had a tower business. I've done some side jobs on the buildings before. All he done was worked on tower acquisitions buying them up around the country as he could. He would rent out tower space to the cell phone companies similar to an apartment building.You get a spot on the tower for your antenna and building space for your equipment. He started out in his parents basement just when cell phones were coming to life. Five years later he sold 51% of the business for $46 million.

Companies like Straight Talk buy the data usage from Verizon, Sprint, and ATT. I know Straight Talk is Walmart exclusive. I wonder if they are behind ST? The plans are cheap but you never want to have to go through customer service which sucks. I've had two problems with mine. One time took 2 weeks to fix and the second took 5 days to fix.

 

VZ when they do an firmware software update, the data used does not get charged against your data plan. I am sure the other companies do the same.

If the Apps update then yes they would use the Data Plan.

 

Our data charges do not apply to over-the-air software updates on basic phones. They do require a data connection to complete the software update, but the data utilized is not billable

 

I'm grandathered in on unlimited, can't help. I use well over 20gb a month.

 

Same here!!¡!!!

 

I paid full price for our phones to retain the unlimited. I can go to sprint as well, but lets face it Verizon has better coverage.

 

Only until you get a new phone. then your off the "grandfather" status.
