I am currently subscribed to NFL Mobile to be able to watch games on my phone. Question is, will it keep charging me after the season is over? If so can I cancel my subscription without it being considered and alteration to my data plan. I have an unlimited data plan that I am very protective of ?
Thanks.

Yes, it will keep charging you until you cancel it. I believe you have to do it on nfl.com as opposed to using the app to cancel the service, or by calling Verizon or going into your local store and asking them to cancel it. I believe it is prorated, meaning it doesn't really matter when your plan begins a new billing cycle.
I also have unlimited data, and can assure you that canceling nfl mobile will not affect your data plan. Having said that, it may not hurt to specify that all you wish to do is simply cancel the subscription, and nothing to alter your plan.
I'm not on unlimited but I was able to cancel the subscription from the "my apps" list in the playstore. Didn't have to call or email anyone.
Cool, thanks for the advice/help.

So... about that $7 unlimited plan with bell...
WHOO DOGGY... what a story.
so my friend is the cell phone guy at future shop. one of the other employees there just got a touch with that plan. accoring to them and their rep. the plan is unlimited "mobile browser" but for the touch the mobile browser is data use with the exception of tethering. now we looked at the touch, there was no special browser or anything, just IE like the Titan. so...
i have had issues with my phone for over a year... im on my 5th phone (under future shop warranty) and im still dropping calls and calls dont come it. im 100% sure its not the phone.. im on my 2nd Titan and still... anyways... in a pissed off rant with customer service on saturday about all this i asked if i could get the unlimited $7 data plan offered with the touch. i said i would pay for it, i just want it. they said it was not an issue and it was done. i had it.
now before i saw the post about this plan, i heard all over the radio in kamloops here that the touch comes with a $7 unlimited data plan. and the bell dealers backed this up. so i browsed the internet all night. was streaming video and music etc. i checked my data useage through TCARE... i waited 2 hrs and texted TCare... it came back as 2.9 mb.. which is what i had before i started browsing. perfect... so i downloaded via torrent a 10 mb file... waited 4 hrs or so.. checked TCare.. still at 2.9 mb...so i proceed with some serious downloading cause i was sure it was all good now...
that was this weeked.
so this morning i checked with bell on another billing issue.. when she saw my current charges for this month she choked, coughed and sputtered, and put me on hold to talk to her manager. I had racked up $19,000 in data use in a weekend. this was because data devices do not have the capability to use the mobile browser service.
after a few hours of "dealing" with bell. they realized this was their **** up and will fix my account.
fair warning to any bell customers (or potential bell customers) regarding this plan.

So where is the scam, they fixed the problem didn't they? I will also add that you gigabyte downloaders ruin it for everyone. All you can eat doesn't mean you can or have to stuff your jacket pockets, you know
How exactly is this a scam? As much as I hate bell, they realized they made a mistake and they fixed it. I assume you didn't pay a penny of that $19000 bill?
This is standard fare for bell customer service. No news here...
the scam is that they are offering a $7 Unlimited data plan that isnt a data plan. its mobile browser. and data devices cant use mobile browser, they use data. and how do us "gigabyte downloaders" ruin it for everyone? unlimited is just that, with out limits... i should be free to do with it as i please. if i wasnt going to use an unlimited ammount of bandwith.. why would i get an unlimited plan. yes they did credit me the $19,000. but bell is now telling me there is no unlimited data.

That is a fact you did not include in your original story and I hope someone can come back a confirm it. Your limitless comment makes me glad they shut you down
I'm not going to argue about the definition of "unlimited". but this is just the same old crap they pulled with broadband DSL. Advertise "unlimited bandwidth" but with a maximum cap per month.
You should take them to court since they obviously advertise "unlimited mobile browser", but they make no attempts to define what "mobile browser" is. As we all know, http data/torrent data/ftp data/etc.... is all the same and everyone that signs up is signing under the pretense that it's unlimited data since they have at least clearly said that mobile browser is *not* "only WAP data".
I saw this coming from a mile away. I bet they left the definition of "mobile browser" open so that they can arbitrarily cut off the heavy users like you. Good riddence IMO. who in their right mind is going to d/l a torrent via a cellphone connection? I bet you didn't even limit your upload limit so you were uploading constantly 24/7...

The mobile browser thing is something that came up this morning. All weekend they have been advertising here in town "Unlimited DATA". On the radio, in the stores, no mention of mobile browser. Everyone is being told that this plan is unlimited data. That is why I said its a scam. The fact that I went about using the plan's "unlimited" feature is beside the point. Had I only used 100mb i would have been billed for that 100mb. The point of this thread is that Bell is offering an unlimited data plan, which is really unlimited mobile browser, for a device that cannot use mobile browser. Please stop flaming my excessive data useage, when thats not the issue at hand.
Well.. bell just called me regarding an issue I am having with text messages. This guy sounded like he knew what he was doing... so I asked him about this data issue. The Bell touch has been provisioned to connect to the internet VIA the mobile browser connection. The connection is the same as data, but it just connects to the $7 unlimited mobile browser plan, and doesnt bill data. That way they can offer unlimited data on the phone for now until they get unlimited data plans. Its been provisioned that way from HTC. The idiot who signed me up should have known this and not signed me up. Quick ending to the story.
If you go to this Bell page and click on the ALL tab then the Touch, a sub menu on the left says "Email & Internet" for 7$ a month.
EDIT: Then you've got the Media who, as usual, is completely confused and confuses everyone.

Actually, I think the fact that clowns are telling some guy that his unlimited surfing shouldnt be unlimited is laughable.
The OP does have a legitimate concern (though he went about it completely wrong).
Facts:
1) There is a promo for the HTC touch w/ a $7 unlimited "data" plan
2) OP misuses the unlimited data/mobile browser plan
3) OP gets pissed off when bell charges him $$$
4) Bell reversed the charges, but in the end, Bell's Unlimited "data" plan is not really "unlimited" nor is it for "data".
EDIT: purelitium pointed out the OP was using a titan. The $7 plan clearly says this only applies to non-PDA phones (which includes the touch), so I'm in the wrong. Thanks!
No he doesn't have any legitimate concern
1. He was trying to use a feature designed only for the Bell Touch(Vogue) on his Titan.
2. I've never seen it advertised as "unlimited data", it's unlimited Mobile Browsing, there is a difference.
3. Bell figured out their mistake, corrected it.
I don't see where there's a problem.
I'm on the $7 plan on Bell, and I've had no problems, because I'm using the proper equipment (Touch).

go with pcmobile... don't people read about this crap? i only have like 4 providers in my area but everyone is too hick and uneducated to know that there is a fifth one!!! 20 cents pay as you go. 5 bucks unlimited internet... no caps as far as i know of... sure u gotta use their small collection of non-pda phones, but if their best one is a nokia (it is), fine by me (their operating system is a must for all non-pda phones that are go onto the internet.) (for compatibility reasons and otherwise) stay the HELL away from samsung phones... (oh my word). i think u can download to the external storage... but even if you can't (i haven't gotten to try)... pcmobile is the best for any person that doesn't talk their ass off (strictly short business calls) and looking to browse their internet and check the mail constantly... read wikipedia... facebook... google maps... msn... etc. youtube is sweet... it's like your one stop video place on the net anyways, so who cares if you can't do serious torrent sh!t or approach the entire pc replacement department

There was nothing with what chancet said, other than (based on common sense) 'ruining' it for other people by having torrents, streaming non-stop 24/7. While I do agree that one should respect other users and understand that hogging network space is just going to cause other users to experience crapper service, the issue here is that Bell is stating that the plan is "unlimited" when in fact, it is not.
THAT's the main issue. I don't understand why people are so quick to defend Bell (or any company) as if they're going to get a reward or something.
Plain and simple, if using data isn't unlimited, don't advertise it as UNLIMITED.
Also, just because those of you 'experts' check out the forums 24/7 and know all the details, doesn't mean the average joe does! So you may know that they "never" advertised it as unlimited DATA but rather unlimited browser. Well I suppose the average joe is supposed to know the difference between data and browser? Let's see we have bad Bell reps who don't seem to know what they're talking about and do a good job of misinforming others (due to lack of supervision or simply lack of training). We have radio stations, newspapers, all calling it unlimited DATA (do a google search), etc. Please don't speak as if your knowledge due to being on these forums (as well as the fact that you're generally INTERESTED in telecommunications stuff) is the same as what the average user should know.
I bet if a users sends 10,000 emails or something Bell would still send em a letter for 'abuse' even though they are technically following the 'do's and don'ts' for unlimited mobile browser (no streaming, VOIP etc.).
It's definitely not unlimited. Stop advertising it as unlimited!
I just upgraded to a Skyrocket a week ago. My phone is on a plan under my ex-girlfriends name. We both have unlimited data on my phone and her iphone. She has begrudgingly initiated to process to transfer the billing of my phone into my own name and account. If I complete the transfer process, will I maintain my unlimited data?

AT&T should keep the plan exactly the same, so I don't think they will change it.
If they do, call them and explain, the rep can re-add Unlimited Data.
I assume they'll have to do some changing. We split a certain amount of minutes and, because it's a family plan, she takes advantage of some free "top 10" list of land line numbers she can call without draining her minutes. Not caring if she loses a few things... but I'd hate to lose my data plan. I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. Thanks.
I'd be surprised if you kept the unlimited data seeing as how they have to create a new account for you, but I wish you the best of luck! Are you a heavy data user anyway?
Not really. I'd be okay with 2G but would probably pay for the 4G with tethering. If I listen to music or watch video:
a) it would probably be on my 64G iTouch or
b) it would be media I stored on the phone rather than streamed.
They transferred my Unlimited over from my old iPhone plan to the 4G LTE Skyrocket plan. It has a different name on the bill but still says unlimited which was the important part for me.

At first they were insisting that I would have to pick a new data plan but because this took 45 minutes on the phone with serveral bogus credit and identity check transfers to chinese people who don't speak english well, and ONLY because I upgraded my hardware before separating the accounts, which she said was a very smart move, she was able to grandfather my unlimited data in. Happy camper.

They will switch data plans on the same acct if upgrading phones but starting a new acct even with the same number will disqualify the Unlim data plan

I work for Att also and if you do ur research they will not move it. Maybe ur managers or supervisors made a case to have it added on the new acct. As per Att if u remove or do a tobr you will not get to keep the Unlim or get it back. Idk what site u are at but id love to know so i can give feedback

The answer to this question is a guaranteed NO. I already spoke with an AT&T representative regarding this. I was planning on purchasing a cell phone contract under someone else name on craigslist and AT&T said they will void the unlimited data because of the change in name will cause a change in contract thus a change in plans and policies. BUT this is what an AT&T rep told me, maybe other reps are different. Something about their policy will screw you over...
just got a text from virgin mobile stating that the next new month will cut down to 2.5 gb of data, just wondering if anybody else got this message? I do use alot of data of maybe its just me
A lot of carriers have either killed or are killing their unlimited data plans these days. I believe the only Carrier that still has unlimited data plans is T-Mobile. I guess each company underestimated how much data each user would use and decided to phase out all their unlimited data plans because they could not make a profit.

I currently have an AT&T plan with calling + texting, and want a smartphone but not the $30/mo data plan that it comes with.
If I buy a HTC One S from Amazon, unlock it, and put my non-smartphone SIM card into it, will AT&T still tack on the data plan? I'm planning on only using WiFi for internet, and otherwise having the 1S function as a regular phone.
I've heard that this works because AT&T won't recognize it as a smartphone or somesuch, but I'd like confirmation before I start spending money on this.
Thanks
if you're intending to use Wifi only, just switch-off the "Mobile Network".
I'd guess they can tell even from the IMEI and tack a data plan onto your account without your consent.

I've heard people say that companies wont recognize the IMEI as a smartphone if said company does not carry the phone. True/false?
Not sure about AT&T but I know on T-mobile if you buy the phone out right they can not force data plan on you.
It's when you sign a contract to get a $600 for only $200 the data plan in mandatory for a certain amount of times. (It could have change but that's how it's been as far as I know).
One "trick" T-mobile is doing now for peoples without data plan, if you surf the net it will work and you will get a surprise when your bill come in. (As before if you don't have data plan, it will send you to an upsell page).
IMO the best thing to do is call AT&T and ask them the policy.
I felt the same as you as I bought my smartphone. With contract, I'm forced to subscribe to a data plan, and billed for it whether I use it up or not. Look at your provider description of data plan, is it an online pass or subscription? If it's subscription, you will be billed to your account even if you never touched your data plan. My provider allows online pass for one day or one week when I need to use their online data services, at most time I use wifi.
Try to buy just the 'phone' from your provider (if they provide that option), no contract or subscription. If they don't allow that, you have to look elsewhere for 'just' the phone.

^So true.
I've heard of people on forums saying that never happened to them, but I know someone that has had this happen to them. Now my friend told me they removed the data plan AT&T added to their account (not sure how) and now they're using their phone with mobile data off.
So yeah... good luck.
Moderators/Administrators/Site Founders - I did not find a dedicated forum/Thred for discussing Verizon Phones/Plans in general with Unlimited Data. That is the reason, I'm posting here. If there is a thread for discussing Verizon Plans & Unlimited Data You can please move this thread there and please let me know. I can go there. But I did search and I did not find.
Hi Guys,
Howardforums and xda developers have been wonderful and filled with lot of people with real information which is hard to find else where on the internet.
I'm coming from Boost Mobile and I thought of experiencing the 4G LTE speeds from Verizon and that's when, I realized that, No Unlimited 4G LTE for new customers. New customers will have Tiered Data Plans. So the only way I can get Unlimited Data is from a AOL of an existing Line. I can keep it till I get a Verizon Phone from Outside( Ebay, craigslist, etc ) or buy a Phone at a full Price from Verizon.
With that, I got a Alltel Plan. This is a old Plan.
It has
Bundled Voice and Text ^ Voice - 500 Minutes and Text - Unlimited
Data is Unlimited
10 Family and Friends + 1 Bonus, since it is a old line. Nights start at 7:00 P.M for this plan.
This is the status of my plan.
My question is, if I want to change the Voice and Text plan, can I do that? I NEED UNLIMITED DATA. IF THIS VOICE/TEXT PLAN CHANGING HURTS THAT UNLIMITED DATA, THEN I WILL NOT DO THAT.
But I do not use Text, I do not use 500 Minutes Voice. Is there anyway that I can downgrade my Voice nad Text Plan?
I tried to find the old Alltel Plans, but that information is not available anywhere. Any help is highly appreciated.
ManyThanks,
A J.
AFAIK Verizon is discontinuing Alltel plans shortly. (a friend got notice that his voice/text would work but data would not) at the end of January. Your best bet would be to find someone who is wanting out of their contract with Verizon who has unlimited data.
Until that happens you could use groove ip with Google voice to make calls through data and not your minutes.

Thanks a lot for the information.
I don't think that is going to happen. Because, in the terms and conditions, My contract is till Jan 2014. I don't think they can disable the Unlimited Data feature on that plan.
If that is the case, even the regular Verizon customers also should lose their unlimited Data. Since Alltel is now part of Verizon, all they can do is ask the earlier customers to migrate to the existing calling, text plans. But Data plans are going to be the same I guess.
Am I going wrong somewhere?
