It is the PTT application that apparently is the problem (pings the network way too often)
That can easily be deleted on earlier e816 models.
Newer models have to be flashed to Verizon/Alltel firmware to get rid of PTT.
Supposedly there are tens of thousands of these still active.
Something tells me Verizon will either find a way to make it work (help people get rid of PTT) or offer another phone
Both approaches are cheaper than defending a class action.
Except that there are no grounds for a class action. Verizon did not sell you the phone, nor are they under any obligation to activate or support it. Amp'd sold and supported the phone for their service - they were the ones obligated to support it. Their service has ended, and so is the support for that phone.
