Is this new? Market Purchasing...

I heard Google was going to allow carrier billing through the market but I didn't know it was live.
I can have it billed to my T-Mobile account now. Is that new?

It's only TMO right now, but it's been that way for at least since October 2010...

Yeah, carrier billing has been around with T-Mobile for several months.

Correct me if I misread, but when I was going to purchase Titanium Backup and use T-Mobile as payment (since money was going to a foreign country and I didn't feel like paying the extra 10 cents in fee), the terms said T-Mobile has the right to remove your apps if necessary. I think it was near the bottom of the terms. Am I the only one that saw that?

It would be NICE of verizon to make this a permanent change to their data lineup.
Just sayin.

is Verizon paying you or something?.. you've posted this in multiple forums. heh...

Can I double unlimited? Like how a prisoner can serve 8 life sentences lol.

I only pay $9.95 per month for unlimited for each of my five lines. I think I'll stick with that plan.

on a side note, when I called Verizon about upgrading my phone, they insisted on doing it over the phone & stated that for exsisting customers you have to do it that way. however, I called a local Verizon store yesterday and they said I can just go into the store and do it.
uh oh... different people telling me different things. shame on you Verizon!

Unless the sales person over the phone is offering you something special or exclusive, there is no reason why you can't go into any Verzion Wireless dealer and do an upgrade.
Back on topic, just upgraded my data. 6GB with Mobile Email/Hotspot for $25. Awesome.

Did you expect anything less? : /

I know there is no conclusive answer as to the length of the program once activated . i can't find a definative answer if the double is " for the holidays" and expires then, or if it continues through the remainder of the customers current contract.

OP says once you get it, you get it for the contract but if you can't find a definitive response, who knows.

In all the promo material Verizon it states that you will keep it until you opt into something, no longer how long you keep it. However if you switch to a 3G phone you will lose it, and will be unable to get it back.
Verizon has confirmed that this will be grandfathered once you get it.

Anyone using Net10 service?

I just heard about this Net10 service from a friend today about their cellphone plans. I looked it up online to see what they have to offer and from the looks and price wise, much cheaper then Verizon. My wife and I spend about 150 a month for 2 phones unlimited data still. We love having good service but that price is beginning to be a bit to much for us right now. So i was wondering, if there is anyone using Net10 that could let me know how service is, the pros and cons. As of now, it looks like a good deal to me and wouldn't mind taking that route. It also says you can use your own phone. It has to be GSM unlocked and wont use Verizon or Sprint phones unless like i said, its unlocked. So that's pretty sweet....any input and/or advice about Net10 would be great. Thanks

If you're willing to do a bit of work, you can get unlimited everything through T-Mobile for $30 (or less) per month. See these threads for more information. There certainly are more threads here on XDA, never mind other websites.

Is Verizon trying to play me???!!!

When I got the maxx on release date, I wanted to use my grandparents upgrade and not mines because I wanted to keep my unlimited data. So the workers at the Verizon store tell me that "yes" I can transfer an upgrade but as soon as I put the maxx under my account it will change my unlimited data to a new upgraded device and I would loose my unlimited data. I said "get the @#%$ outta here, I've been using other peoples upgrades for years". Then I said give me one second and called Verizon and they told me me that it might work and might not work. So back into the store I went. The employees inside said that I could try transferring an upgrade but if it doesn't work that I would have to pay a $35 restocking fee. Smh!!! But I had one small window of an opportunity to still get the maxx and keep my unlimited data. Before the edge program started on Monday, I was able to put a down payment on the maxx and the rest of the balance is spread out on my monthly bills. I still have a week left to return this phone and use my grandparents upgrade to save some money but don't know if it will work. So did they play me, or can I use the transfer of someone else upgrade.

I did it. My mom had an upgrade that I used. I went to the store and they called my mom to OK it. Then I bought the maxx on her account for 300 and they activated it to her. Then they transferred it to me. Then they transferred her back to her phone. They were cool about it.

I went to the Verizon store to switch my wife's unlimited line using the new edge plan. Verizon is offering 6gb for $30 if you switch from an unlimited plan and you have an upgrade available on that line. My wife only uses an average of 1gb putter month so she wouldn't miss her unlimited data. I was going to alias out the payments over 2 years and if I looked the Maxx sell my note2.
However I found out today that I can use the upgrade on my wife's line but that the phone couldn't be transferred to another line. It would only be able to be used on the same line until the phone was paid off. I have another line available for an upgrade but I figured with this plan I can upgrade every year. Now I think I want to wait to see what is in store for the rest of the year. However I really want the Maxx I want to get back to a stock android experience.

I'll clear some stuff up for you guys.
When using upgrades in the store, wherever the upgrade goes automatically removes unlimited data. If you have unlimited and use your upgrade, it's gone. If you use grandma's upgrade and have them point it to your number, it's gone. The only way to keep unlimited data was as described above. Upgrade the phone on grandma's line, activate it, reactivate grandma's old phone, and then swap the new phone onto your line. Some reps know about this and some don't, but they're not out to get you. This is just the way the system works.

Remember to tip your rep if he deserves it! Not with cash, but Verizon reps are always under pressure from management to sell you accessories, so if you were looking to pick stuff up for your phone or anything else they also stock, get it there and ask for a discount! They will absolutely hook you up if you're spending money with them.

I did this the other day managee said I can't give you the new Sim card to switch off your mothers line but I can't stop you from going to another store. So I used her upgrade drove home reactivated her iPhone online on Verizon then drove to another store said I bought this from a friend I need a Sim card. No other Verizon Sims work in this phone because they now are nano with NFC all other are micro w NFC except iPhone 5i is nano without NFC.

The NFC chip is in the SIM? Weird. Does that mean theoretically the phone would support secure element NFC SIM's that could re-enable Google Wallet/ISIS if companies would stop bickering and just let us use phones to tap and pay?

There's been some confusion about this too. The point of the new "NFC" SIM cards was to complete the hardware requirements needed for ISIS to be rolled out. These SIM cards have the secure element in them, but they do not have any NFC technology in them. They're just programmed with the secure element needed for ISIS.

Up until recently this was correct but the stores such ever worse now. If if it's an ESN change they take your unlimited. Cust care dose not do and is against Verizon policy so I say f*** the stores. PS I have yet to confirm if this just due to stupid reps or system limitations but for the recorded if you do as the quoted text suggests and the store takes your unlimited Cust service can put it back on

Verizon and Samsung Pay

I can't believe that they're now saying that Verizon is probably not going to support Samsung pay. That was one of my main reasons I wanted to get this phone. Why does verizon always have to screw its customers ? Other threads are even saying you don't even get the earbuds with the Verizon model. WTF Verizon
Edit

No earbuds. I don't care much about Samsung pay, but I totally get why people do and are upset over it.
That's Verizon for ya.

The only thing I am glad about is that they are coming out and saying this now rather than right before Samsung Pay launches. At least now people have the chance to jump ship.

I hope they change their minds

I have decided if Verizon is not offering Samsung pay the day of launch I'm done. I had att before and never had an issue. I'm tired of these games that Verizon plays. Not even any headphones with the dang phone. Little things like this erk the crap out of me. The stubbornness of not doing any type of data rollover drives me up a wall.
This will also give some time to see if Samsung releases a 128gb note (but probably not).

Verizon takes forever in evaluating these types of things. Just chill till a 100% official statement is made everything has been speculation as of yet. It boils down to money and if Samsung wants this to work Verizon prob will need some sort of kick back

Yes verizon Is the cheapest for unsubsidized. Our phones should be carrier unlocked out of the box, unless you are referring to bootloader.
