Finally turned off visual voicemail on my verizon G4

Verizon won't even let you get a smartphone without a data plan. They have a lot of crappy policies. But I kind of think this one makes sense (though allowing exceptions would be nice).

I had basically an iPod Touch for a while. Not having a data connection everywhere I went was quite limiting, driven home by the change when I got my GS3.

It does seem like you'd give up much of the benefits of a smartphone if you don't have data.

Exactly why I bought the G4 - had a Touch and Pad, but no outside world once we left home sucked too often .

no outside world once we left home sucked too often .

You know, before the internet, that statement would make no sense to anyone! If you left home.. you are at the outside world and that's the only way you could reach the outside world. I still remember the days when you need to know something, you have to go to the library and look thru the index cards to find the magazine/newspaper/book to look up the information. Now you just ask Google Now or Siri and get in in a few seconds. Who needs hoverboards or flying cars when you have the world in your fingertips.

Yes, a sign of the times .
