It was easier for me to call tmo and get them to cancel it. What a piece of [email protected]#% app. Media hub would nice but its pricey.

I just had to cancel mobitv as well on my wifes line. She didn't use it, just mistakenly opened the app and it signed her up. I didn't even know until I called tmobile to switch out of my blackberry plan.
The rep was kind enough to go through our plans, told me he saw that service (and some subscription for a pool game from years ago), and canceled both without a problem.

You said it man! I dropped mine before the end of the trial. Its like they sat down with the sole purpose of compiling a list of the most suck t.v. and putting into an "easy to use" app. I guess if you wrap garbage up in a fancy enough package we will all give it a try.

does the vvm only work if you have it added to your bill? everytime ive tried to use it it says i cannot use it on my phone and to have it added to the plan, yet i have the unlimited family plan with everything included. t-mobile said it should work, but it never has. so i usually just uninstall it and use google voice...not to mention i love having emails of every voicemail i get. i have always wanted to try visual voicemail, but just cant get it working for me...any clue?

I posted on the wrong thread

Verizon tab and txt msgs.

Nice that verizon has txt msgs on the tab, but not nice they don't tell you they charge 25¢ per! The rep didn't even know they charged extra for it! That is just down right wrong not to tell the customer!

Yes, I've paid for a couple of spams too, I looked for a way to turn messageing off, but haven't been able to get it below 10 messages per conversation.

I called customer service and asked them to block my sms number and I just use google voice. Works great and it's free.

I had the same problem with tmobile. I am supposed to get unlimited text and 5gig data, but they were charging me 25 cents per text.
When i called the acted like they didnt know anything and took two months to fix.

Verizon to Verizon is only free with the non-$5 text packages.

I just installed "Sync SMS" and its pretty cool. It sends texts from your phone to your tablet via Dropbox. You can send from tablet through your phone number as well. Cost 3 bucks, but certainly good enough for me at the moment.

[info] wifi calling with $30 300 minute/unlimted text/5gb web

To do this offer, i had to get a special sim kit to activate. Im wondering if anyone can confirm that the plan will still work with the new wifi sim. Does anyone have this plan and wifi calling?

300 mins, you wish

Well if you're not a chick, staying under 300 minutes a month on the phone shouldn't be a problem.

With free wifi calling that is definitely doable. I mostly text, unless its work related. I have wifi everywhere I go basically. So this seems pretty awesome.

Where is this plan? I have the 100 for 30 bucks

Is that 5gb of data at 4G? This is a great plan for $30. Where did you get it?

can you explain?
I've wanted to try this plan but I've heard theres a lot of BS that comes with it. like one person being charged $90 to cancel the plan because its not an actual monthly/prepaid plan.
also i dont know anybody with tmobile service in my area. so im unsure as far as reception goes in certain locations.

No such plan. The only $30 plan is 100 minutes, unlimited text, and 5gb data.
Monthly4G plans don't have "free" Wi-Fi calling. Sure, you can use the feature but you'll still be dipping into those minutes.
I would know about this because I've been using this plan for a little over two months now.

Exactly. Widow calling is for clarity, it still gets deducted from your monthly pool of minutes.

On the web Google voice call forwarding isn't set properly. I think that's my problem. From phone setting I have my Google voice then Registered phone I have my gmail address.. Then have Phone which displays my real phone number.

Just switched from Sprint to Verizon - Voicemail question

My friend just switched from Sprint to Verizon. On Sprint we have our own voicemail app and the voicemails download right to the phone at no extra cost. Do you really have to pay $4 a month on Verizon for this capability or is there a way to activate on device voicemail without paying the extra fee?
Thanks for any advice you can offer,
Jack

You have to pay $4/month for VISUAL voicemail, yes But like others states, use google voice if you're not comfortable with that. Exact same features, cross compatibility. Just make sure to follow the call-forwarding instructions for google voice..... I don't know how many people can't figure out how to get it to work because they think installing the app and following the instructions makes it work...

I agree with using google voice. The translations are quite comical. They are no way perfect but you get the idea of what was said. You can listen from any computer and if you add the extension on chrome you get notifications on the browser.
In regards to prev. post, ignore the warning about the carrier in the setup dialog. It just means that you have to dial the *7... that google gives you when you setup the voicemail account.
One warning you do have to have data/internet connection to get voicemail since it retrieves it over voip and not 1g voice/calling. Which isn't a big deal unless you are deep in the woods or roaming on unfriendly territory like Thumb Cellular in Michigan.
