Express Network Minutes of Use?
Tuesday, August 12th, 2003There’s been a
lot of
discussion about a feature called “EN MOU” (Express Network Minutes
of Use), where callers on a standard Verizon plan such as America’s
Choice could get on the Express Network (CDMA2000 1xRTT) using their
minutes (including their unlimited nights and weekends). Over the past
couple of days, the forum threads have mentioned that this was only for
users with camera phones. I got the same story from Verizon’s
Wireless Data Technical Support:
“We sincerely apologize for the confusion on the Express Network Pricing
plans, however, at this time there is no Pricing Plan which enables you
to use Express Network just using your airtime minutes. This feature
that was recently explained was only designed for sending pictures from
our customers with the Vx6000 camera phone. This is not designed for
connecting to Express Network. We apologize again for the confusion.”
ah, well… I’m bummed out by that… I really had my hopes up. Still, the plans aren’t all that bad, but I wish they had something like
T-Mobile’s unlimited GPRS ($20 a month instead of Verizon’s $80).
