Hi, recently my blackberry curve 8330 from verizon has passed, i got the red battery icon with a diagonal cross through it. my manufacture warranty of 1 year from RIM is up, i have a two year contract and 8 months left until upgrade time in august. i could get it replaced but my parents dont like the data plan and we were never told of the 30 a month for data, so my mom doesnt want me to get a blackberry, but the other day my moms friend told her of his friend who works at verizon and was able to get rid of his data plan and ended up slimming his bill down. so i left a message and we havent got a phone call back, and i been looking at other phones in case i get something else and i was interested in the palme treo 650 or 700p/w the w is windows mobile and the p is palm os, i think i like the palm os since it was made by the phone manufacturer. also i know these phones are a couple years older and verizon nor palm makes the any more, i found some on ebay for 70 to 80$ . so would i be able to drop the blackberry in lieu of either one of these. i made sure on ebay i looked for verizon or unlocked and new on mint conditioned with manuals. also they make wifi adapters for these so i can use it at home with my slingbox and sutch. so would it work, if so what do u recommend treo 650 treo 700w or treo 700p

First of all, Verizon will only activate Verizon-branded phones on it's network. Make sure any phone you're considering is Verizon-branded. Next, buying on eBay. Since Verizon will not activate any phone with an ESN on the lost/stolen list and will not activate any phone coming from an account with an outstanding balance, you have to be very careful about your purchase. Make sure your seller has lots of good feedback and has a return policy. Use a credit card.
Finally, before you buy anything, go to your local Verizon store. Ask one of the employees about Verizon's policy about the data plan and the various phones you're considering. Verizon's policy has changed recently and they are not flexible about data plans. The folks on the customer service lines are not well trained and their advice cannot be trusted.

Question by dankees98: Can I Plug A Second Modem Directly Into My Verizon FiOS ONT Device, Outside My Home?
I need to plug in my Slingbox to my new Verizon FiOS, however, my TV and Verizon router are like 30 feet apart, however, my TV is near to my Verizon ONT - can I just plug a second router into the ONT and then plug my Slingbox into that newly installed, second router?

I doubt it, but check with Verizon on this. The preferred scheme would be to use a router, with an internet cable of suitable length.

You might be able to ,however most likely you won't be able to access the internet or other services. Most company have diffrent programs in the phones, one for contract users, and one for prepaid. Now I know it has Windows, but some companies don't let you use the "real internet"
I hope this helps
