When did you post your review? From watching reviews of phones I have been thinking about purchasing in the past, they are not posted immediately. It appears that every week or so, Verizon checks all submitted reviews for content(language, etc...) and then posts all of them at one time. This usually encompasses several days of reviews at one time. It appears as if this is what is happening. After all, the most recent one was submitted on June 2, and it is only June 6. This certainly falls within that time frame, especially since a weekend falls between those 2 dates. I doubt that Verizon doesn't have anyone reviewing these reviews over the weekend.

The 500 text plan is $10/month.   The 5000 text plan is $20/month.   If you switch to a Talk & Text plan from a Talk plan, you get unlimited texting every month for the same cost of the 5000 text plan.

Now I am finding that there are these large data useages recorded on my history about once a week. They are 30 or 40 MBytes. This put me over for March. The last one was on the second to last day of my billing period.   Verizon is being its usual useful self, speaking only in rough generalities and suggesting that I give them more money.   Does anyone know how I can determine which apps may be doing this? Or how to stop it.   Thanks Any app that you have on your phone could be contributing to this if it is set to automatically update.   The problem with the limited plan is that you may think you will be able to stay under the cap, and you may be able to do so. But with each new app you add, you also are adding a possible avenue for additional data to add up to put you over your cap. You have to be very vigilant to be able to stay under the cap   About once a week, I get an alert from the Android Market that I have updates available. If these apps were set to update automatically, I wouldn't get this alert, but they would instead just start the update process automatically. Go to the Android Market > My Apps and make sure that each of your apps is not set to automatically update. You will have to do this for each app.   Do you have any weather programs set to automatically update. Turn that off, also. Do you have your email set to automatically sync? Yet another source for data usage.

For the discount to be valid, the line would have to be in your name.   Additionally, the discount normally only applies to the primary line in your family plan, so adding him to your family plan would do nothing.

Yes, they fall under your unlimited text plan. Pictures in emails, on the other hand, would fall under $1.99/MB data category. Just make sure you are texting them and you shouldn't have a problem.

Yes, even if the other phone is sitting on the bench right next to you, you have to dial in the exit code, country code and ten-digit phone number.   Additionally, this will be treated as an international call for "both" phones.
