Verizon Mobile

[Maleficent's Dad]

I need to update one of my previous posts - you do not need to have the VZ Navigator with the app. Found that out the "hard way." And while I extend my apologies to Chip Carlton if my comments appeared to bash all Verizon employees, I will say this - the employees of your company that I have dealt with have not been helpful at all; in fact, they know far less about apps and phones than I can find in 5 minutes online. Sorry! The "need" for the VZ Navigator that I previously cited is just one example of the misinformation Verizon employees have given me. My apologies - I did not mean to offend you in any way.

No worries at all and I completely understand the feeling. I think the problem is the amount of things that we do have to know is consumed in other areas of the company and focus of the company. The problem is we mostly all are "geeks" with PDA's (BB, Droid, Palms, WinMo, etc) that aren't Get It Now App capable therefore our knowledge of those types of apps arent' too vast. So some Reps will make up information to seem knowledgable. I'll be upfront and honest personally....anyhow. **off soap box**

I've been reading reviews on the "Ride Hopper" app and it seems pretty useful for those with an Android Operating system device (DROID, HTC Eris, Moto Devour)

I am in the market for a new phone with Verizon. I was hoping to be able to get Disney Mobile Magic, but was looking at the HTC Eris and the Curve.

Where online can I find a list or description of apps available for these phones? I have found the list on Verizon's site but from the sounds of things those will not work on the two phones I am looking at. Maybe I should pick a different phone, LOL!

Since it sounds like we don't need the navigator in order to use this app is there an internet/data charge for each use? My daughter's phone just got added and she will be visiting Disney soon so want to know all the charges before ordering.

Thanks for your help with this.

I kinda second this question.

It looks to me like we have to pay one of the three possible charges IN ADDITION to the $10 app charge:

1) Pay $1.99 per MB used
2) Pay $9.99 for 25MB of data usage, and 20¢ per MB after that, or
3) Pay $29.99 for unlimited data usage.

I currently have NO data traffic on my account (the data features are actually blocked to keep anyone from incurring data charges while looking at "free" ring-tones). I am going to add some kind of data plan for one month, then cancel it.

I assume that this App will use enough data MB to justify the $9.99 plan for one month, but is that true, or would I be better off just paying by the MB? Surely it wouldn't use enough MB to need the unlimited plan, right?

Just remember 1 MB is really not alot of data so I would recommend the unlimited plan especially if it is only for a month since you don't want to end up paying much more if it does use alot more than the $9.99 plan. For example let's say it uses 2 MB everytime you open the app you would only be able to access it 12 times before extra charge apply. These are not actual number just an example. I always say better safe than sorry.

We just got back and I loved using it! Wherever in the parks we were it would locate us and tell us the wait times and fastpass return times...I recommend this to anyone that can get it...

[elmjimmlm]

Has anyone heard any news about the app for the iPhone? I loved using this on our last trip and now I'm going to be lost without it I a few weeks...

[elmjimmlm]

Finally it's out for the iPhone...I love how it has videos for each park...I can't wait to get there to use it...Guess I need to book a trip first...
