Verizon cell phones


Question Posted Sunday November 13 2011, 1:26 pm

So verizon has made it a ting where in order to have a smartphone/ blackberry/iphone you have to have a data plan and pay 30$ per phone on the plan to have data. i have 4 phones on our plan and that is way too much money for my mom who is on a teacher salary. I REALLYYYYY want an iphone, or a phone that is supported with droid software but i can not get the data plan. is there anyway i can get around this? like can i buy a phone on ebay and switch my service to that phone by calling the *228 thingy? or will that not work? or ANY WAY? i am desparate! and if i cant do that like there is no way possible to do that can you tell me some really nice phones i can get that are touch screen/ touch screen with a slide or flip qwerty key board? anything that has a touch screen and is a GOOD phone? or if i can get a t-mobile, sprint, at&t etc. phone that i can switch to use with the *228 thing? THANK YOU SOO MUCH I REALLY NEED THIS INFO ANY IF YOU CAN GIVE IT TO ME IT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. oops caps..haha :) thanks!!

15/f

Two years ago I was desperate for a Blackberry. I was so mad when I found out I couldn't get one without a data plan, aha.
No, there is absolutely no way around the data plan issue. I'm sorry. I know exactly how it feels.

Instead of getting a Blackberry when I was due for an upgrade, I got the Samsung Reality. I absolutely LOVE it.

I've gone through a ton of verizon phones from when I got my first phone at 13. STAY AWAY from LG phones. I've had three different the Env 2s and two EnV Touches. LG seems to have way too many problems with their phones.
I've had this phone for over a year now with no problems. Normally I'd be on my third phone by now.

Seriously though, you should definitely look at the Samsung Reality.

If you do decide to get this phone, you can get some really cute phone cases off of Ebay for it.

I'd also like to point out the LG Cosmo the person below me listed, is NOT a touch screen phone. My mother has that phone. The Samsung Reality is completely touch screen with a QWERTY keyboard.

I do not think that there is any possible way to do what you want. You'll probabally have to be satisfied with a normal phone. The LG Cosmos is a pretty good phone and it doesn't need a data package.
