    Hi every one!
    I just got the Verison wireless and I love it! I get broadband in most places witch really helps with streaming video. I just got the $39.00 a month plan witch seems to be enough so far. I only go on-line 4-5 times a week for an hour or so to check e-mail and watch some news or whatever but so far so good! I wasn't sure at first if I should get it, but I find it so hassle free,I think it's worth it! Polk Salit out!

    Especially with the cheaper package you better watch your usage or you may find out just how expensive it could be!

    Streaming video is very high transfer, and will eat up the 500 Mb I think you get with the cheaper package in no time flat!

    Keep a watch on your usage so you do not exceed your allotment, because then you will really get a shock when the bill comes.

    I can not believe they do not have unlimited anymore. I have had this card for 2 years so I have the unlimited. $60 a month is a lot to not be unlimited.

    Ya you're right! Since I have a thirty day trial period and I can up grade any time I thought I would try the cheaper one first. It's hard to estimate what 500 mb's truly is, so I'm definitely keeping an eye on it! I've only had it two weeks, so we'll see. Thanks for the tip!

    My co driver has sprint and it works pretty well but Verison seems to be faster more off the time. Apparently they have broadband in more locations.

    From what Verison told me, you would have to be on line 24 hrs. a day 7 days a week with all streaming video to get any were close to using up 5 gig's so it virtually is unlimited at least that's what the sales person seed. (grain of salt)

    You would never use 5 gigs doing things like email and surfing web sights. You'd have to download large files, like games or movies or lots and lots of mp3's. So as long as you don't stream music or video constantly or frequent the warez and porno sights downloading really large files...
     
    polk salit Thanks this.
