free online for motorola q

does anybody else have free internet? because for some reason i am not paying for the internet plan but i when i connect to the internet i am just charged for minutes.

my guess at why:
i recently returned my razor and bought the q from costco. when i look at my account on the verizon site, it has a question mark for the phone i am using.

does anybody else have a guess why?, like is it a free trial? i mean its not a bad thing, but i am just intrigued on why

Maybe you stumbled on something weird, but it is also possible to have the pay as go data plan. There is no monthly fee but you pay per KB. call #3282 and see what your data usage is - you get a free SMS message that will tell you. My guess is, that if they see you uisng data, they will charge for it.

I had a M710 for two years with Verizon. They changed their iXRTT network for data enable phones to charge data against minutes on plan. What you describe suggest that this plan is carrier over to the EVDO network. Probably not! Check to see if you are getting EVDO service when using the phone this way. If so great for you!!! Don't tell Verizon.

did u have vcast on your old phone? if so techinically speaking if you pay the 15 dollars a month for vcast, it's unlimited data on v-cast phones. now the people at costco may not know how to properly add or remove features on accnt's....so you may have a cheaper plan for data usage.

check your minute usage, some older plans use call minutes for data usage...

My understanding is that with "Unlimited Data Plan" the internet is free.

Talking

darren says he is getting free internet without signing up for and paying for the data plan.

Could be...

Just don't post your mobile number or acct number where Verizon can spot you

Hey guys

So, my old v265 had gone dead and I was looking forward to purchasing a Motorola Q. On my v265, I had set up a home WAP proxy and only wasted airtime minutes to access the internet. It was only after my purchase that I noticed the Motorola Q charges $0.015 per KB, or as a CS told me, approximately 30 cents per page. This seemed rather an outrageous price seeing that visiting three pages already costs a dollar, so I was wondering if it will be possible to configure it to use airtime only like I did with my v265


smartphonesmarts.com :: View topic - Q FAQ
The first item on this website says that you can connect to Wifi and I'm assuming that my router in college would suffice. However, I've also heard many times that the Q does not come with Wifi capability

HowardForums: Your Mobile Phone Community & Resource - Free Express Network, costs Airtime only!
This site seems to be promising about connecting to a EN that only uses airtime minutes. However, this was two years ago so I'm not sure if this applies to the Q or to my issue whatsoever


Would anyone please enlighten me as to what I can so with the Q with Internet?
