#1 | | Junior Member | I'm glad you were enticed enough by my offer of questions to view the thread...
So I just bought a Motorola Q. 20 year old college student figured the email and web browsing capabilities would be very useful. Also purchased a sling box and am slinging television to the Q.
I'm curious: What other cool things can I do with this phone? What cool programs should I download? Must haves? Nifty little things? Whatever ya got, lemme know!
Also, a side question: I'm hardly big on cell phone scene (with whats coming out in the future). Are there any hotly anticipated Verizon Smartphones or PDAs coming out this year? Now that I'm spoiled by my Q, I'm not really a fan of the "simply phones" phones. Even though I just bought my Q and love it so far, the tech geek in me will want an upgrade as soon as the next hot (and good) thing is out.
Thanks everyone!

#5 | | I hate spammers! | Be careful with that Slingbox. If you go over 5GB of data transfer in a month, you will have your internet feature turned off by Verizon. I have seen people get shut off before for such blatant disregard for the terms and conditions of thier contracts.

There is no fine print in anything I've seen.
If they cut me off for "going over" unlimited, there will be problems. | For most people, a monthly allowance of 5GB of data transfer is unlimited. However, if you continue using your Slingbox, you will far exceed 5GB. Once you do that, your data connection will be terminated. This is fully disclosed on Verizon's website and in all print documentation regarding the Unlimited Data feature.
Fear not, Verizon will cut you off if/when you exceed 5GB in a month. They will not have any "problems" doing so.

LMBO, This isn't going to work with Verizon.. But good luck.
| I've heard success stories with it. Usually they don't ask questions or wanna probe too deeply. I'm quite the weasel when I need to be.
Why do you think I'm a perfect fit for law school?  | | Did you find this post helpful?

#10 | | I hate spammers! | If you say the account holder died, be prepared to provide a death certificate. That is the only way you will succeed.

#12 | | I hate spammers! | Honestly, a death certificate is more than enough, since it would be incredibly hard to get one... unless you die.

Any customer who is calling to cancel service because of a death will expect Verizon to provide such information. Verizon is not alone in requiring a death certificate, insurance companies require them as do most banks and major utilities. When my Father passed away 3 years ago, we had to make about a dozen copies of the death certificate to resolve all of his outstanding business. It is common and standard practice in business.
