Charges over and above unlimited data usage $29.99

I'm new to the smart phone world. I have the unlimited data package but, I am trying to figure out what things are free and what things I will get charged for. For example, I downloaded the bank of America free app to do on line banking but, it said you may be charged by your carrier if you use this service. How do I know if I am going to get charged? Is there a list somewhere on the verizon site that list what is not included in your data package?

They mean if you have a limited or no data package this program uses data so however data is charged you will incur that penalty. It isn't a problem I have been using the Bank of America app for over 6 months now and never been charged for using it.

you won't be charged. almost anything you download will give you that message because the apps don't know if you have unlimited data plan. but since you do, you won't be charged. they have those messages for other users that may have no data plan or a very limited one. the only things you would be charged for are "paid" apps (wich will clearly tell you how much they cost) or any app that requires a subscription of some sort (vcast, vzn navigator, etc) and these will also CLEARLY state that a specific monthly fee or subscrition will apply. it's pretty tough do mistakenly download stuff that costs $ and not realize it. if your mostly downloading free apps, then you don't need to worry about it.

You can always export the calendar from outlook and import it into your gmail calendar using the gmail website. http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/3097/google-calendar-howto-import-outlook-csv-or-ical-calendar-events/

You can also download Google Calendar Sync (http://www.google.com/sync/pc.html) and that will keep your Google calendar and outlook calendar synced live OTA so you don't have to manually export/import .csv files anytime you update the outlook calendar
