A serious advantage of having service through VZW will be that all of whatever rudimentary mobile-web browsing your A-930 is capable of will be at your disposal (even including tethering). (Not so with the PP service.) Again, my regrets for having steered you so wrong. My own experiences would never have let me imagine they could possibly have mishandled you so badly.
