    Galaxy Tab won't boot - vibrates

    Similar problem. Power on displays Samsung, Then keeps displaying Verizon Wireless. I tried "reboot system" but there was no change. I see the "wipe data" choice, but what do the other choices mean: apply update from sd card and wipe cache?? This is the first problem I have had. Thanks, cb

    Do I Need Text ?

    I am looking at the Verizon "Guide to Plans." The minimum Family Share Plan says: Talk = $69 Talk & Text = $99* so Text is $30 per month. Then it says Text includes pictures sent via email. Does it mean that if I send a picture to someone's email address it is Text? Thanks, cb
