Ask a VZW rep

[nlk10010]

That is strange, I sent a message to VZW Customer Service just a week ago (after I had posted here) asking the same thing and got a response insisting that Broadband Access WAS still available at $15/month and could they hook me up.

But I agree that it is unfortunate that rates and plans change all the time, just as subscribers find that the best carrier for them changes all the time. If in fact the $15/month BA is not still available then the advantage VZW had for me essentially vanishes and other options enter the picture.

Thanks for your response.

According to my system the $15/5gb mobile broadband connect is still available but only if you subscribe to the corporate data plan. ($44.99)

Oh, OK, that could make some sense. Unfortunately, if true, then BC would not be available to me. I did have the corporate because I needed BES but when my hosting company started offering BESX I cut back to the non-corporate (plain BIS) data plan.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

Anyone able to add the 20 buck MHS to my account? I don't want the bundled data/mhs, but want them separate items.

If so, send me a PM.

Well, this doesn't have anything to do with my BB, but today we upgraded one of our phones (been a VZW customer for 10+ years) and the receipt was e-mailed by their system to an ancient e-mail address we haven't used in years. I logged into my account and can't find that address anywhere in their records, and so can't delete it. Fortunately I just happened to look at that account, otherwise I wouldn't have seen the receipt. I don't want to miss an important e-mail but can't figure out how to fix it so that e-mails are going to the right place again. Has anyone heard of this happening? I tried calling *611 and got a recording that my account information wasn't available right now and to call back tomorrow. ??

Same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago when I renewed my contract and replaced my storm2 with an iPhone 4S.
No clue why this happened and this was and is the only email from VZ I got at my old email address.

Good Luck

I have to make a call to Europe in the next few days.

Is the VZ charge gonna be outrageous if I make that call from my iPhone?

TIA
