It's not an invitation it's just part of the upgrade your supposed to get when you bought your Xoom with VZW. As far as I know, it's supposed to start after September 1st.I filled out the form a few weeks back to get on the notification list. Is there anything else I need to do to get myself an invitation?

It's not part of the soak test program.My question is this.
Were any of the people that got the conversion done employees for VZW or were you part of the "Soak Test" for the Xoom? I am part of the soak and have received nothing.
What if you purchased the Xoom from someone else. Would we have to contact Verizon on the upgrade?
Would like answer to this as well, bought my Xoom on CL about 3 months ago. Would we need to activate Xoom on VZW before getting upgrade for LTE?
If it's just a WiFi version only you wont get the 4G upgrade.I think you would need to register it with Motorola. VZW has nothing to do with the upgrade since Xooms are shipped back to Motorola.

If you don't activate on VZW, what would be the use of getting the 4G upgrade anyway? 4G is a service fromVZW that you subscribe to. Getting the modification and then not activating it would be a complete waste of time. That said, the notification will come from VZW, the form to fill out is through VZW, so no. If you do not have service through VZW you would not be able to register or get the free 4G upgrade. If people don't want to pay for the service and complain about paying for the service, why the excitement to get an upgrade to equipment that would require a subscription in order to use????
You don't need a contract. You can buy data access on a non-contract basis. So, for people who only need 4G when they travel, this makes sense.
Only thing that stinks about that is you have to pay the activation fee each time you want to start up service again. Just don't understand why you can't just pay each month you want it and not have a activation fee if you decide to stop service for a few months and then want it back.

If you want to stop for a few months then you want to suspend the account, not cancel. That way you do not have to pay th activation fee again. I believe it is only set up to suspend for a few months so if you want it longer you may have to suspend multiple times or they may automatically start back up again.
True but I heard you can only suspend 1 time every six months or 1 time a year and can only do it for so many months at a time. Not sure what one it is but it is limited.
