No line and they had black 8 and 16 gb and white 16gb ones in the plenty. > [@evolve](#): > > Sigh… > > I mean, since you don’t pay for data on your iphone, I can totally see how that is a major issue. “WTF Verizon, why do you charge for things!! Can’t you just charge me for a “Voyager plan” and force me to pay for things I might not use? The iphone doesnt require me to pay for data!” > > Oh, wait… > > “Couldn’t you give me the option to pay for things on a per-use basis, or as more of a ‘everything included’ plan if I find it’s worth my money? I mean, wouldnt that make sense?” > > “Also, why can’t you make it so it’s just a feature add on, and I can add it or take it off or block it anytime I want? So if one month I have heavy usage from a vacation, and the next month I’m back at home and have the internet real handy, why can’t you do that? I mean, I change my mind a lot, come on, work with me here.” > > Data charges on a pay-per-use basis: $1.99/MB > You would need to use song ID a shit ton to use more than 1 MB on it, but whatever. > > Lets say you are really going to town, "ID"ing every song, browsing the internet, downloading songs, etc. > > VCAST: $15/month UNLIMITED data > > Oh, and it’s a FEATURE you can add, remove, or block completly ANYTIME, with no contract changes. > > “But Jeff, I want to browse internet, text everyone 34589734895 times each month, use my GPS, use Mobile Email, and have unlimited data. How can I do that without spending $15 on vcast, $10 on GPS. $10 on mobile email, and $20 on a select plan?” > > “Why it’s simple, Johhny”, I would say, “you would sign up for a Premium Plan. All those features come included. And just like everything else with VZW, you can change your contract to fit your current needs ANYTIME WITHOUT ANY CONTRACT EXTENSIONS.” > > Please, continue to whine about everything, when in all reality, your only issue was that you wanted a specific device that VZW passed on, for good reason. I’m not even going to comment on the retarded way you went about switching companies, even after I warned you on how the industry works. Well as last talked about, I had to signup for that plan when my sister got the Voyager on our family plan. My issue was that I had to pay for the data to Get It Now, Pay for an application, Pay per MB to download it, and then pay per MB to use it. Pretty shitty for a non PDA phone. The biggest grief was that the web wasn’t even the real web which. It was the phone rendered internet which was awful and barley worked on some sites. For occasional user, a “free app” cost them $10 a month in data to use it. And like you said, for the normal user, they come in at around $10 per month. Paying for “unlimited” is a rip off when using close to $15 in data to justify the unlimited is pretty hard to get unless you download a lot of music or applications. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/omg-official-iphone-thread/52737)._
