Our broad ban works through a telephone number. When we use our phones it will tell us if we are roaming (so we can hang up to avoid extra charges) Verizon Broadban works through a telephone number, how come verizon dosent/isnt unforming us when we are over? arnt they requierd to?

I have verizon aircard with 5GB plan which supposedly almost limitless(that’s what the salesman at the verizon shop told me when I opened the acct). Then I received first bill ,I got over $2,500 surcharge stating that I used over 7GB. My aircard usage record shows I only used less than 2GB,and I never reset the usage that shows detailed record each session I used . I brought my laptop to the shop and talk to at least five customer service people on telephone, They just say that their record is correct, but they would give me credit for surcharge. Is this possible that my pc aircard record is totally wrong? I only used it for checking my email, web browsing, and occasionally for watching videos on youtube. I am not one of those people who plays games and on the web 24/7.

I am looking for a cell plan with data access. After reading the limitations on Verizon’s “Unlimited” plan, I googled and found many complaints, as I see here. I just registered a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. Perhaps if we all did so we could bring some pressure to bear on Verizon.

They indeed still charge you the early termination fee.

why wouldn’t they?

Let us know when Verizons TOS terms are redefined for actual “unlimited usage” and my business will sign up.

until then, forget about it.

When Verizon terminates your plan for usage, do they charge you a fee? And, can you return the equipment?

I use Sprint EVDO access which I use lots of data access and I have never gotten into any trouble. I can even roam on Verizon and Alltel’s data networks. I never liked Verizon because of their overblown limitations. Go with Sprint or Alltel if you want true unlimited EVDO data access.

This is an easy way to get out of a VZW contract.
