Re: CELL PHONE INTERNET ACCESS
I purchased the Verizon Mobile Office Kit ($40)for my LG phone through Verizon with the understanding that it would work with my phone. Store clerk said if I used it after 9 PM and before 6 AM or on weekends when access was free, that I could save my regular minutes. I thought that was a pretty good deal & know of others who have that access on their phones. After coming home & trying to download the software & having a problem (I am not a newbie on the computer), I called Verizon. I was told that the only way I could get internet access through my phone with the Mobile Office Kit would be to buy an additional plan for approx. $45 to $50 additional per month. She said that Verizon was now charging by the kb's used and not by minutes used when accessing the web. I told her I knew Friends who were able to access the web through their Verizon phones & plans (minutes) and she said that was going to stop in the very near future as Verizon is providing cell phone service & not web service. So if you want to access the web...Verizon will offer you that service but only through a different plan (obviously more expensive). As I only want web access when I'm on the road and I'm not traveling constantly....I simply took the Mobile Office Kit back and got a refund of my $40.00. I think it's a big scam & am very frustrated...but as Verizon has the best coverage & as I'm in a contract anyway...and as I can't afford another $45 to $50 per mo. added to my present cell phone bill...I have no options....449Views0likes0Comments
