getting a droid x without a data plan

[Snow02]

You're wrong.

Plz provide proof rather then just saying I'm wrong would love change my plan but verizon says if I do I lose my unlimited data plan...all ears......

 

[Snow02]

Go to verizon's website?

 

[troy028]

Go to Verizonwireless.com. its easier to just read it from them.

But if you need....

My understanding is that new ppl can't get unlimited data plans...we can't even lower our minutes or we would lose our unlimited data that came from Verizon....if I'm wrong plz let me know

I think you're referring to the NE2 discount.

I read recently that someone called and had their text messaging plan changed and it wiped out their NE2.

My brother recently bought the Thunderbolt with an unlimited plan, previously he didn't have a data plan.

I don't know exactly what the rules are, but a guy I work with switched from a flip-phone to a DroidX last Friday & he got unlimited data with no problem for $30 a month.

Well I will post what V says when I call em after work....would really like to be able to lower our 1400 mins plan down to 700..w/o complications

It should not be a problem to switch to the 700 min plan. Verizon does not tier there data plans as of right now. If the rep says there's no unlimited data I would ask to speak to his manager.

The last phone that was available on VZ with no data was the 6800(Titan)

I used one of those for a few months with no data, but by the time I moved to a TouchPro VZ had changed the rules & data was mandatory.

Actually, it was the 6900...HTC Touch branded by Verizon...what I upgraded from to my Droid X last September. Same basic "guts" of the 6800, minus the WiFi chip and a mechanical keyboard....great phone for what it was...

well i know someone who has a smartphone after the data plan requirement without the data plan. verizon first added the data plan automatically to the account. they then called verizon and threatened to cancel the account or remove the data plan and they removed it. they are still using it. but i guess noone thinks this can be done again

I would NOT risk spending that kinda of dough off contract and count on stiff arming Verizon into cancelling you data plan. Highly unlikely. Data plans are Verizon's cash cow right now. At the cheapest they used to offer that 250mb $15 data plan. I have a feeling its going tiered sometime this year. :'(

Just got an X and no problem getting UD but I get a 21% discount so for $23.60, not bad.

Well, that maybe true but since it had no WiFi it was kinda useless with no data package. The xv6800 did have WiFi so it could be used online any place with free WiFi. My son was in college at the time & had WiFi 24/7. He used an xv6800 for two years with no data & it worked very well.
