I would like to have a talk and text only plan, and eliminate data, however, on the My Verizon app, there isn't an option for that.
I think that if you own a smartphone, you need to have a plan that includes data. If you own a standard cell phone, you would choose a talk/text plan.
No such plan is currently available with a Verizon smartphone. The only providers I know of that offer that are Republic Wireless or Ting.
