That is because you have to add data to your plan I mean if you want to use all the features like go online check emails you will need to use data and the cheapest plan voice and data from Verizon it's 79.99 plus taxes.

Has anyone noticed the fine print on Amazon? "...and maintaining this new line of service with the selected rate plan in good standing for a minimum of 181 consecutive days"Does the part "selected rate plan" mean you have to have the data plan for 181 days in order to not get charged back by amazon for the equipment discount?

No, that's incorrect. The data plan is an entirely separate charge from the calling (i.e., minutes) plan.

As I understand due to a recent visit to my local Verizon store (12/15/06), you will need to subscribe to at least the $79.99 phone plan as well as the $40 EVDO data plan.That turned me off from the MotorolaQ Phone or any PDA Phone. I really wish Verizon would offer a slower data plan for $20. I just need to fetch email and remotely sync my calendar, not surf the Internet. Wireless DSL is overkill for most people.

Hi. You get what is the latest advertised on the website. I activated the 29$ plan and got 500mb and unlimited talk plus what is said on the website. I guess the 50mb and 250min were part of an old plan?

Did you ever find the answer to this question??? I am trying to upgrade my SECONDARY line & it's forcing me to choose a plan. I still want to stay on the family plan. Can I still purchase this phone as an upgrade? HELP!!!

I had to return the phone because in my area roaming charges would apply! which would really eat up the minutes. So, you probably should call customer service like you're tryng to activate the phone -- that's when I found out.

Get a friend with Sprint to activate it on their account, and pay the $36. It does not take up a phone slot in their plan, and the phone used is charged for the minutes, not the Airave.

You can call ATT as I did and ask them as I did and they said no. I only have a phone to make calls and send text and they are unlimited for $45. They will tell you what other things cost. I use my computer for everything else. Bill

I had a similar experience. I reported it to NetTalk customer service several times and they never did get back to me. Searching the internet I learned that the 12 month subscription is only included with devices purchased directly from NetTalk or from one of their authorized sellers which evidently doesn't include the Amazon seller(s) that you and I bought our devices from. Unfortunately I learned all of that after the Amazon window for returns closed so I was stuck with it. To make matters worse I had paid them $19.99 to port my phone number and they used the credit card information from that transaction for an automatic renewal after 60 days. I reported that to customer service as well and never heard back from them. I explained all of this to Amazon customer service so that they could correct the information on this listing but nothing came of that either. Return the device to Amazon right away and look into the other alternatives. I got an Obi202 here which has given me free service with Google Voice however that is ending in March so I need to look for another VoIP provider. (Unlike NetTalk and MagicJack the OBi devices are unlocked so you can use them with other providers.) The Ooma devices look very promising- Amazon is selling them for $115 and there is a monthly charge of $3 to $5 to cover govt fees for the calls. http://www.amazon.com/Ooma-Telo-Free-Phone-Service/dp/B002O3W4LE BTW with the NetTalk there was a 3-4 second delay between what was spoken on one end and what was heard on the other. You had to talk real s-l-o-o-o-w to avoid utter confusion. I had never noticed that with the MagicJack+ I had used for a year (I thought that was the absolute bottom of the barrel but I learned otherwise. :-( )

Do you already own the phone? If so, look inside the handset & get the number off the battery pack & put that number into a search engine. I was able to do that with the number on my phone's battery and Amazon actually sells my battery pack for $7.69 for a 2-pack. Otherwise, a battery store or electronics store (like Best Buy) would probably be a good option to try. If your phone is just getting uncharged a lot and the battery is not bad, remember that this phone DOES have 3 handsets and all charge on any of the 3 bases. You should be able to grab one of the other handsets if the one you're using runs out of power. Just pop the uncharged one on to recharge. Do you already own the phone?

Hi Sue, The phone has to be bought as a designated, Verizon "pre-pay" phone when you purchase it. There's no changing a phone over, ie like one you already own. I bought this phone specifically as a pre-paid. $53.04 unlimited text, talk and web.I have my payment set up as an automatic payment and Verizon gives me a $5.00 credit a month. Verizon is the best and is used by the US government! BTW. I love this phone, I have literally beat the daylights out of it and she still works! Good luck.

I purchased the phone and then bought that card from amazon. I called up Verizon and they got me going and phone works fine , only thing is you will have to go on a month to month to month plan through them which will cost around 80-90 dollars a month.

Same problem..can not figure out how to Accept a call waiting call. Read and re-read manual-no mention. Nothing on web site. I'm really starting to upset callers.Love the phone beyond that little quirk.

Are you sure that with the .25 per minute plan that it maxes out at $3 a day? I just ordered this from AT&T; today and she didn't say anything like that. Thanks for the info though ... I think I'll call them in the morning to find out.

I just got my E71-2 and it's BEAUTIFUL! I went to the local ATT store to get the Medianet Unlimited plan for $15, and was told that I would also need a need a compatible plan and phone to get this service. The lowest priced plan is the Nation 450 w/Rollover® Minutes @$40 and that they could not guarantee that I would receive the Medianet full services for my my Nokia Phone Model and local area code. Anyone have the same problem or have an alternate solution? Hey thanks for the info ... it has been very useful.

not this specific one because it's locked to Verizon. If unlocked phones are available they're probably more expensive. You can check for sure here:support@pagepluswireless.com:-)Shawn

Depends on your plan. I chose the 35.00 a month plan, talk/text for the service, plus 2.77 service charge (tax?), if I do not pay, no service.

Perhaps there s a mistake. Nwe are not seling this phone. The one we bought is. Ot prepaid has a contract. Good luck in your search.
