Verizon and most other companies describe "first responders" as those who have to go "out" to a remote location in order to respond, therefore the need to have cellular service because you are not in the same area for work every day. I assume as a nurse, you are in a medical office or hospital of some sort and do not go out in an ambulance "responding" to emergency situations. Being ready to "respond" in your regular location of work does not really fall into the category of "first responders". Firefighters, police, EMT, etc... do not work from a static place of employment but "respond" to remote locations. The fires do not come to the fire station. The injured do not come to the ambulance. The criminals/victims do not come to the police station. Routinely, all of THESE first responders have to go to the people to whom they are responding. If an ambulance brings a patient to the hospital, you are the "2nd" responder as the ambulance was the "1st" responder who then transported the patient to you. This is not to say your vocation is not important, it is just not classified as a 1st responder and is not likely to be classified as such in the future.

In times of congestion on the tower you are using, you data may be prioritized behind other traffic on the tower. Once the congestion lessens, your speed should go back to normal.

If you are limiting access to cellular data, then the answer is yes if the FaceTime call is not happening over wifi. FaceTime requires data. If you are prevented from using cellular data and do not have wifi data, you would not be able to make a FaceTime call.

No, that would be the same as not having to add a new line of service. There are ways around this, though. You could port your old line to a service such as Google Voice and then port it back in over the new number or you could simply use Google Voice on your new line of service to send/receive calls. I believe there is a $20 charge to port your current number to Google Voice. Not sure what the charge is, if any, to port it out of Google Voice. Transfer or port your number - Google Voice Help
