Since this early summer (I think) Verizon now requires a minimum $9.99 data package even for the phone that didn't require it before. I know all the blackberries require to have the $29.99 data package but now all the other phones too??? There are like only 2 phones from verizon that don't require internet or paying for the data package. So my question is, I want to activate a LG EnvTouch (which now requires the $9.99 data package..) without having to pay the $9.99! Basically, I don't want INTERNET SERVICE!!! I want to activate it over the phone, where u don't have to talk to anyone. The system just does it for you. But customer service said that the system over the phone won't even let me activate it unless I have the $9.99 plan.... Has anyone tried since they changed their policy? or even blackberries.
