Unlimited Data
I am on Verizon and they try very hard to strong arm you into giving up your unlimited data and going to a tiered plan. Because of multiple problems and 5 replacement phones I finally gave up on my DNA and bought a new Galaxy S4 resulting in going to a tiered data plan.
While I was dealing with multiple dead DNA's I pulled my old Thunderbolt out of the drawer and charged it thinking I might have to reactivate it and guess what??? All my emails started popping up. Although you cannot make calls on it because the phone is "inactive" all data functions work. Incoming email works, I can send emails, searching the web works, streaming video off my Sling box works. I tried the same thing on my deactivated DNA after I activated the S4 and the same holds true with it.
So if data is such a precious commodity to Verizon why does it stay active with old smartphones that have been deactivated. One could use an old device to stream all the data they want! Very curious.
