2 weeks ago I bought the V710 at RadioShack and the idiot girl there was showing me the different web packages they offered. She sold me on the $7.99 plan for Mobile Web with 500 TEXT messages package. I thought it was a good deal. However a few days later I tried it and it didnt work. I went to Verizon and they said cause they didnt release the phone yet. So now I call Verizon today 3 times. First 2 times they tried to activate me. But I either get a timed out message or an offer to sign up. Then the 3rd time I call they told my my Planm was no longer offered and they would have to cancel it and place me on a different plan. Of course the new plan is $12.99 for WEB and 600 TEXT. What a RIP! So even though RS sold me the Plan, VZW said they ...

Yes, I signed up for the $7.99 deal...its is part of the GetItNow Value Package. I have the same deal they told you is not available. I have noticed that my connection is very slow. Even if the 7.99 didn't exist, they cannot increase the price because you have a contract, they must honor that, just like we must pay an early termination fee.

I am waiting for 9PM to start exploring my mobile web and get it now, so I don't use up my peak minutes.

I thought the $7.99 for mobile web and 500 text messages was a "non-camera phone value pack" like they say on the Verizon web site. I called customer service and they told me that I couldn't get this because I have a camera phone so I got the 500 text messages with 20 picture messages for $7.99.

Yeah, how did you get that. I called customer service and she looked on the list of packages and it wasn't there. So I'm paying $4.99 for Mobile Web 2.0 and $7.99 for 500 text messages and 20 pics. I already feel ripped off to be paying a total of $13/month for data features.

Call back and have them look for it, I did so, the CSR even went to ask her manager, he did'nt know either! but it's there! you'll save about 25 bucks a yr!
It seems like VZW send those brouceres weeks before CSR are told about the offers, I know Cingular has this problem too!

I agree.
When I was at the store - i was told there was no combo package for Web and Text. I was told there was only a combo for Text and Pix - but that Web was separate.

This morning - I had a CSR supervisor find a brand new package (he said he didn't even know about it yet - and it was only avail. for Web 2.0 customers - which the v710 supports).

I got a $7.99 package for 500 Text and Web.
I did not sign up for any Pix messages - not planning on using them since I have a Transflash card.

There were also $9.99 package for 750 Text and Web, and another one for like 1600 Text or something crazy like that.

If you can get the feature code or something that I can use to identify it to customer service, I'd appreciate it. Maybe you can log into your account online and they'll be something on there. Thanks in advance.

It's not really a feature code. If you can grab a America's Choice brochure, there is a page that lists it on the bottom. It's called the Get It Now Value Packs.

There are three prices and I will list them...

Get It Now Camera Packs:
$7.99 - 20 Pix/500 Txt
$9.99 - 20 Pix/500 Txt/Mobile Web
$14.99 - 40 Pix/500 Txt/Mobile Web

then there is the:

Get It Now Packs

$7.99 - 500 Txt/Mobile Web
$9.99 - 750 Txt/Mobile Web
$14.99 - 1,500 Txt/Mobile Web

Make sure to mention the name of the pack and then the pricing and that should do it.
