$1297 Verizon Bill...wanna know how?
 
Well, in my case I have a 7130e, I decided that instead of paying 44.99 per month for just blackberry access and limited browsing I would get an express card and unlimited data plan for my laptop. So, I did. I called Verizon and told them to deactivate data to my 7130e and I would just use it as a phone and use my laptop and express card for email. They removed the BB data feature from my account and I went on merrily moving my family to Ga from NC and never looked at my account until I got my bill 2 weeks later. Apparently even though you don't use any data features the BB still connects to the data network for almost 24 hours each day. I have called VZW and that's how I found out that even if you turn off the data feature you will still pay for it, in spades. I'm mow on T-Mobile.

Wow! Are you having to pay the entire bill, or did they work something out with you?

That's VZW for you.

Nickel and dime.

Wow! I'd make them pay my hospital bill, too. Because I would have had a heart attack!

Update
 
VZW stepped up and credited my account $1140.80, so I must say "yay Verizon" for doing the right thing.
