Wi-Fi and Verizon Wireless

I was reading around on another site and some one posted something very interesting. Can anyone verify this:

Quote:
After two hours talking with tech support this is what I have learned. If there is the slightest, repeat, slightest interruption on the WiFi connection the phone will default to the Verizon data band with no notification to the user. I'm sure that was designed on purpose. A simple notification that the connection source has change or will change would have been a nice courtesy!

Well a simple solution to that is to hold the home button and go to wireless manager and turn the phone off before you try to acess the internet.

I don't know because I don't have a Q9m. The only way to find out for sure is to test it out yourself.

Where did you purchase your wi-fi card? So when verizon shuts off your data plan you can't receive text or picture messages?

I can not receive pic messages either. I have a text/pic plan but no data plan. Verizon states that when you have a smart phone, you have to have a data plan to receive the picture messages. I think that is BS.

On a side note, can you have Verizon turn off data option and purchase a wifi card w/o Verizon charging you anything extra? I am a stay at home mom and can not validate $30 a month data plan to check email/surf the web.


You can purchase a mini SD wifi card off amazon.com Amazon.com: Spectec SDW-822 WiFi 802.11b MiniSD Mini SD SDIO Wireless LAN Network Card Motorola Version (Q8/Q9/Q9m/Q GSM): Electronics

You can have Verizon turn off the data option and get a wifi card however you won't be able to receive/send pics or text messages.
