I like it more than the sprint card I purchased. I purchased the extended battery which last about 3 days, depending on the usage.
I also use the data/internet link cable to my laptop. Fast connection, enough to download and upload my work. I also can check my emails and Use Vcast alot. I really like using my phone. I was told that the phone I purchased can be used to go out of the country, I can purchase a sim chip. Anyway, I think this is a really nice phone and the camera features works good too. --- William Ferrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hello > > I just brought a Verizon V too. > How are you working the data connection ? > > Will > > "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > I have verizon and use a LG V phone, both for talking and then cable hookup > to my laptop and > also > travel out of the country too. > > It's much cheaper and the coverage is better than sprint. > > I feel that Sprint does not have the best customer support.
