I'm not sure what advances VZW has made in this area of double charging (I've been away from the forums for a while). I've been repeatedly told by CSRs that they have solved this and no longer charge for the data network access if you don't have the unlimited data plan, but the charges keep showing up on my bill to date. Just keep this in mind when you cancel your data plan. Its certainly cheaper to still pay-as-you, unless you get enough pix/flix messages in a month that it costs $45 at 1.5 cents per kB--thats like 3 MB worth of pictures! Just keep that in mind, that you may be charged if thye haven't fixed this.

I spent the last 20 minutes digging on Verizon's website for this information:
Business Voice and Data Plans
This explains all the charges associated with data/voice plans for PDA Devices, including listing the charges for data as:
-If you have the 10 MB plan, it's $0.005/KB or $5.12/MB after the 10 MB
-If you have the Pay as you go plan, it's $0.015/KB or 1.5 cents per KB or $0.015 per KB ($15.36 per MB)....
It lists nothing about WiFi on the page being charged, and you are NOT charged for it. Some people have THOUGHT they were using WiFi, but were in reality using EVDO, and being charged for EVDO coverage. Make sure you aren't using data, at $15.36/MB, it gets expensive without the "unlimited" data plan... __________________
