I finally decided to give up my nice LITTLE $68 a month cell phone bill for both my wife and I to get me a smartphone, just added 2GB of Data ($40 more) so I didn't have to triple my monthly bill for a share plan since my wife is not gadget savey and simply NOT INTERESTED in having a smartphone. Then I got her a tablet for reading and facebook, of course I bought the samsung tablet at costco because we did not want to escalate our VZ bill. She uses it at home with Wi-Fi, well we travel quite a bit so I decided to move up to a 4GB data plan with Mobile Hotspot for just $10 more "Great Deal" since 2GB doesn't come with the Hot Spot. Now to the point, 4GB data plan comes with Mobile Hotspot and "free E-Mail" they should have utilized this free E-Mail space to GIVE US SOME TEXT MESSAGING! Seems a little rediculous that we get 4GB of data with Mobile Hotspot and NO TEXT "GOT TO PAY MORE", and as for free e-mail, come on all the email programs are WEB BASED so if we have a DATA PLAN we are going to have FREE E-MAIL!
