Hey HoHum - Did it all work out for you?

Last July I had the same thing happen (although mine was "only" $40 to update WeatherPanel once a day) and they removed the "pay as you go" data plan I didn't know they had added when I added a 2nd phone line.

This time an unknown program racked up my minutes with data calls (hard rebooted to end that) and VZW let me upgrade the minutes on my plan to cover those extra minutes at a much lower cost, but required me to get a data plan - pay as you go, because I'd rather not use data at all than pay the extra fee for the plans (I can get my weather elsewhere). Anyway, on Feb 10 I spoke with many many reps at VZW and ALL were adamant that I HAD TO HAVE a data plan. They were aware that data plans had been removed for others (and previously for me) but said that the new policy is you have to have it. They're "cracking down."

So I'd like to hear if it worked for you. Thanks!
