Let the cat and mouse games begin... I think? Now I am pretty confused about what is going on. Verizon had seemingly blocked FoxFi from working on their network. I tested it on several devices last night to find that, just as reported, it was no longer working on the Verizon network. Now I'm...

The proverbial writing was on the wall. The application that granted subscription free wifi tethering on unrooted devices has finally stopped working on Verizon devices. I had heard rumblings of this starting a few days ago when some of you started to tell me that foxfi was no longer working on...

Verizon is at it again this Thanksgiving. Visit www.vzw.com/Thanksgetting this Wednesday, November 25th for some freebies. There's a short video at the linked tweet below. Free gig of data sounds good, but I wonder if it's a one-time deal? UPDATE: Free GB of data is available NOW and lasts...

If you decided to skip the Galaxy S6 in favor of holding on to your Verizon Galaxy S5 you made a good choice! It took several months just to get the Verizon Galaxy S5 rooted. The Galaxy S5 community pulled their resources together pledging over $20,000 for a root method. Not long after the...

Many of you have received your Nexus 6P by now. Mine should arrive this evening! There are still a few of you left out there on a Verizon unlimited data plan. If that is you Verizon ordinarily requires you to pay $30 to add a tethering package. With many devices there are ways to root and modify...

There may be a few of you interested in this mid tier device. HTC has satisfied the desire of those of you wishing to be able to run Android on an iPhone with the One A9. It has the design of an iPhone, but runs Marshmallow with the Sense overlay. Go ahead and argue with me that Apple stole...

Here is something that Verizon got right! With Patricia having made land fall late Friday night many of you may be worried about friends and family who may have suffered home damage from wind and flooding. You can check on them for free thanks to Verizon. They will not charge for calls or texts...

If you are one of the lucky ones who still has an unlimited data plan with Verizon you may make good use of free wifi tethering from time to time. I do not use this personally unless my home internet is down, or I am on the road traveling. I have been known to use tethering in lieu of open wifi...

My blood was absolutely boiling this morning when Verizon dropped the proverbial hammer on grandfathered unlimited data customers. I know this action struck a cord with you. @dgstorm's post has already eclipsed 70 comments most of which is ranting and raving about the situation. I feel you I was...

Here's a story so hot you might get burned, and in fact, after you hear about it, you might feel burned. According to a report over on The Verge, Verizon plans to raise the price of their Grandfathered Unlimited plans by $20 USD per line. This new rate will apply starting in November. The...

Verizon has finally announced that they will support Samsung Pay! They are late to the game because they needed to evaluate hosting Samsung Pay on their network. Verizon has been the odd man out for the past few weeks as all other major US carriers jumped on board with Samsung Pay on launch day...

Once again Verizon has been left out of the mix. While everyone else is enjoying Samsung Pay, Verizon customers had been told by Verizon that the payment method was still being considered but may not come. Thankfully, today Will Graylin Co-GM of Samsung Pay and CEO of Looppay confirmed via...

According to sources the Droid Turbo 2 which is rumored to launch in Q4 2015 will be customizable through Moto Maker. I just received this years version of the Moto X and had the privileged of changing the back color and metal accent colors. My change to the boot screen caused my phone delivery...

Well, well, well, what do we have here. An internal memo coming out of Verizon just leaked showing that the release date for Android pay will be on September 16th. This is great news coming from the carrier that would not support Google Wallet for what seemed to be an eternity, and the same...

A few weeks back Verizon announced that they were doing away with contracts and subsidized pricing. This gave grandfathered unlimited data useres like myself no reason to ever change to a tiered data plan since everyone would be paying full price for devices from here on out. Users who are...

About a month ago I posted a lengthy rant about an experience I had in a local Verizon Wireless Corporate store. The short version of the story is that the staff their refused to sell me a phone for cash stating that I would lose my unlimited data. I have since purchased a phone from Verizon's...

One huge complaint from power users is the inclusion of Bloatware on carrier version phones. The worst case of bloatware on the phone has to be the Lenovo K3 Note. The bloatware on this phone was so ridiculous it nearly ruined the device for me. Verizon has been pretty bad about including bloat...
