| Data charge after you block data? If you get a data charge AFTER you block data, then report it to your local Attorney General. That's like telling a webhoster to just shutoff your site after you exceed your allocated bandwidth to prevent overage fees and yet they still charge you for the hits to the error page.
If I had it IN WRITING that data is blocked, and they still charged me for data, off to the court I will go! Easy win as it is a breach of contract. Most expensive $1.99 they will ever make  . Costs you what, $20 to file? Costs them thousands to send a lawyer out. The look on their faces when they loose, priceless.
Unless of course in the contract it says that they may still charge for bandwidth, then it would go straight to the AG desk with the mentioned sentence(s) highlighted. Whats the point of blocking a service when you could still get charged for it?
Verizon is so freaking stupid. In fact all these carriers are stupid. It's simple to make all this bad press go away and they still make their money. Make the "Disabled internet" a feature that you pay $2 monthly for. This way the consumer is happy knowing that there wont be any "phantom" fees, and the carrier gets their money. Sure, I would agree that it would be completely stupid to charge for something like that, but this bad press isn't helping sell Driods now is it? | |

Verizon service has (2) two data services. One is there's the other
is "Roaming data services". Asking to block, you better know there
are TWO services. Otherwise, you will only get the verizon block. | |

Otherwise, you will only get the verizon block. I would say that if you have it in writing that all data services are blocked, I would say that is enough. Doesn't matter what services Verizon offers, if that piece of paper that Verizon (or the reps) sign says "ALL DATA IS BLOCKED", its a cut and dry court case. If a company refuses to give you a signed piece of paper that says that a certain service is blocked, canceled, disabled ect, report them to the AG because it's obviously something very fishy. Would you not agree? | |
