Additional Features and Services

All major carriers offer service plans that include an extensive array of additional features and content services. Verizon has V-Cast, Sprint has Power Vision, Cingular has Media Net, and so on. UCAN has found that these features and services can carry a number of hidden costs and fees. If you don’t have an unlimited text-messaging plan, what is the cost for each message over your allotment? Is picture texting or video texting included in the standard texting plan? Both of these functions draw high fees at a per message cost. How is the mobile web usage measured? Do you know how many kilobytes of data you use to check your email? If you’re not on an unlimited web plan, checking your email could cost a lot more than you’re willing to pay. If you download a song from the company store to your phone, can put that song onto your computer without paying an additional fee? The answers are there; it just requires a little digging. Or, if you aren’t the digging type, see our Bundles page.
