Volks,

CAUTION ... CELL PHONE PLAN FINE PRINT

I know several folks use Verizon Cell Service for their on the road
internet connection.

Recently I signed up for their $99.00 per month plan that gives you
"Unlimited Data Connection Minutes" and "Zero Voice Minutes".

Any voice minutes are billed at $.69 per minute.

There are two data connect speeds

Express Network which is around 155k
Quick Connect which is 14.4

It was my understanding that service at both connection speeds were
included in the $99.00 plan.

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG  !!!!!!!!!

Just got around to looking at my bill for the last two months, don't
ask.

Turns out that Quick Connect "14.4" Data minutes are billed at $.69 per
minute, like the voice call charges.

Only Express Network Data minute are included in the $99 plan

Thus ...... Be careful if you sign up for the $99 Unlimited Plan.

"VERIZON CAN YOU HERE ME NOW ..... YOU STINK"

Yes ... I am fighting it.
