Thread: verizon smartphone data plan?

so i am due for an upgrade soon & wanted to get the palm pixi which is a smartphone and requires a data plan.

so right now i have a env3 and am paying to have internet on my phone and another 3G multimedia phone.
on the the website it say
"All Windows Mobile, Palm, BlackBerry and Android Smartphones require a data feature of $29.99 or higher OR a data plan"

so my question is since i am paying to have internet on my phone is that considered a data plan? & will that then allow me to keep paying the same and still get the smartphone?
or will i still have to switch over to the $29.99 data feature?

& if so what does that thirty bucks cover?

& since i am the only one eligible for an upgrade and i still have to pay for the internet on the other multimedia phone, will i have to pay that and the thirty bucks on top of it? or is there a data plan that covers both the new smartphone data & the multimedia data , & if so how much it is?

thanks!

if you want the Pixi, your $10 data plan will be changed to the $30 plan. That plan gives you unlimited internet access on the phone- email, web browsing, apps, etc. The other multimedia phone will still carry the $10 plan- data is always billed per phone, so that if someone wants a phone with no internet access, they can get one, and you're not stuck paying extra for a shared data plan when not everyone wants it
