Unless you upgrade your phone sooner than every 2 years, the device payment plans simply do not make economic sense, even with the $300 trade-in. I'd rather pay a subsidized price up front in exchange for a 2 year contract. I've been with Verizon for 9 years and I'm not going anywhere. They...

I believe this topic warrants a necro-bump as a lot has changed. Google Wallet now allows tap to pay on the DNA. Two huge data breaches have brought credit card security to the forefront. And Apple now has their own version of tap to pay. They invented it, in fact. Just ask Tim Cook. I...

The SIM card issues occur because the card is too thin and the contacts on the card do not make adequate contact with the contacts inside the phone. Replacing the phone or the card will not solve it. The card is too thin and the slot is too wide. You have to make the card thicker with pieces...

I just saw the notification. I did not receive the update last September. Here goes nothing...

Bump. I own a DINC but I found this thread helpful as I was having the exact same issue. I would like to mention that this fix even works for people who never owned a smart phone until long after the 2.2 update, like me :) Now if I could just get rid of that stupid Verizon Backup Assistant...
