Just in case some didn't know, each time you activate your 3g service you have to pay an activation fee of 35.00. Seems a bit harsh to me. With my first ipad, which I used for a solid 8 months I would activate the 3g when I needed it, which was about 3-4 times if I remember right. Nice thing was being able to activate it from the device and be connected instantly. No reoccurring activation fee. I wish Verizon would do this . ..
