Just wondering........did anyone tell you that you could use a dumb phone upgrade (New every two years) to upgrade the smart phone to keep Your unlimited data plan?
BTW.........my now almost 3 year old Moto Bionic is so slow that sometimes when a call comes in it goes to voice mail before the phone allows me to answer it.....I can see who's calling but the button to take the call is unresponsive......I can't wait to get rid of this thing......
Enjoy your S5!
I had that problem on incoming calls after about 3 rings goes to VM. Worked with Verizon tech support. They tried several things but couldn't improve it. Another reason to dump the Droid X and upgrade.
I tried that route updating dumb phone to a smart phone and after 14 days moving the phone back to the old smart phone. Believe me I had studied that concept and talked to several independent Verizon dealers. It seems that may or not have been blocked now. The whole idea was to make sure you waited beyond the 14 day return limit. After the 14 day you owned the phone and should be able to move it back and forth.
But in my case I can get unlimited voice (not 700 min) (hotspot) and 3G for only $5 more a month by combining the More Everything plan with Verizon Edge. And be able to go to up by 1Gs for $10 each if I need it. Since I have another source of internet access in my RV with Datastorm and at my winter location I only need Verizon hotspot data when the other sources are not working. If it was my only internet access I would never give up Unlimited data. As I said in my orig post it seemed Verizon was not really giving me unlimited data as if used for web surfing it seemed to come to a halt after awhile. I know I know giving up unlimited pains me to no end but now with unlimited voice and hotspot it just makes sense to me to change.
