God, I can't believe yet another dog fight with Verizon! I changed to automatic billing but they skipped a month because I set the automatic withdraw date to be 4 days after I signed up for automatic, and that was too close for their system to manage. So then I get a weird sci-fi automated phone call telling me I'm close to loosing my service! Holy cow, how do they stay in business?! I could whittle you a better system than they have.
BUT while going through this weirdness (which got settled by their suspending the auto, paying manually .. over the phone .. for *2* months, then picking up the autopay in April!!) I started looking at my account and data plan. I appear to pay less than most folks. My monthly is $68/mo: $30 voice (450 min) $30 data (2GB) $0 txt (pay as you go) $8 Tax & services. I recall from earlier conversations many of us pay a lot more. But what amazes me that I don't use anywhere near that amount of data, even tho I've started using the phone for radio (NPR, BBC, etc) quite a bit. Do you folks use 2G/month? I gotta presume the only way to do this is to start using it for video -- TV & Movies. Is that right? Maybe games? I know there was a huge ballyhoo over the lack of "unlimited" data but apparently 2G *is* unlimited for primitive me! -- Owen
