How can I most efficiently structure my Verizon Wireless plan for what I need?

Posted on Tuesday 16 March 2010

I am about to purchase the Samsung i600 phone for use on the Verizon Wireless Network. I want to sign up for their national calling plan (free long distance) that includes 800 minutes of anytime voice minutes, but I also want to be able to use the phone's data capabilities in an unlimited manner without the minutes used counting against my voice minutes. I saw such an option on their site, but there is a potential complication... I also want to use the phone as a wireless modem sometimes with my laptop and I want to be able to do that in an unlimited fashion as well. Verizon appears to have an unlimited data plan that is intended for that sort of use, but I am confused as to whether I would need both the laptop data plan ($79.99) *and* the phone data plan ($49.99), or if just getting the laptop one will allow me to use unlimited data in both forms. If I buy the PC 5220 card that allows laptop access to the Broadband network, will this also entitle my phone to use the same data plan (albeit at a slower speed) as well, or do I need to purchase an additional plan just for the phone? Lastly, I am aware that there are some cables and chargers from Boxwave and some other companies that are cheaper than the OEM ones, and I am wondering what kind of setup would be best for me to use given my intended use situation described above. (What cable to use the phone as the wireless modem with my new Dell laptop, etc.) All of these answers are probably available by speaking to a rep or just reading through some online forums, but I am trying to save the time it would take me to figure it out. Thanks in advance!
