Boy oh boy. I got charged $169.21 for data usage. I've never ever been charged for data usage before so you can imagine my surprise at my last bill. Anyhow, I called up VzW to figure out why this was the case and ended up receiving a $169.21 credit for it. Here's why:
The reason is that a couple months ago, I "upgraded" my plan to get more minutes for the same price (I paid $59.99 for 800 minutes, now I get 900 minutes). During this plan change, the VzW representative was automatically prompted to add a data plan because I own the i700, which can do data. Well, the default data plan that gets added is the "pay as you go" type. I was neither asked to confirm whether I wanted this data plan nor was I given the option to choose the other unlimited data plan. It's something that HAS to be added, otherwise the system does not complete the transaction.
However, today, a very nice VzW rep (Walker) not only gave me full credit for all my data usage, he went so far as to REMOVE the data plan from my account.
Guess what? I still can use #777 (Express Network) and browse by just using my airtime minutes!
After all, this is how I've accessed the internet ever since I got the i700... Why pay for something you don't have to?
