So, upon reading this, I checked my Verizon phone. I don’t have texting or browsing, no data plan, just old school cell usage. I found a file for “data calls” and clicked on it. It seems that Verizon is calling my phone every day between 7 & 8 for 15 seconds.
Verizon knows nothing or so they say about this. I think it’s the ATT thing.
I get those, too... However, since it comes from Verizon, we don't lose minutes, and it doesn't use data bandwidth. I'd be rather upset if my carrier was using up a big chunk - or, in the case of the guy with the 10 MB per day, if he had a 200 MB plan) all - of my data allowance.
