How To Cancel Verizon Wireless Without An Early Termination Fee
Verizon Wireless is increasing their text messaging rates by 50% and you can use that to get out of your contract. (Starting March 1 it will cost you 15 cents to send and receive instead of 10 cents.) A cancellation script was constructed on another blog for people to use during the call. They use scripts on us so why shouldn’t we have one too?
You can view the script here. It’s helping quite a few people cancel without a fee. Even if you don’t want to cancel your contract with them, you should still use it to get a credit on text messaging for the remaining life of your contract. Do it before March 1. Thirty minutes of your time can save you over fifty bucks.

Sprint Nextel consider Nokia as WiMax supplier
An article on Mobile Monday discussed the likely possibility that Sprint will join forces with Nokia in a big way for it’s new WiMax network that is expected to roll out by 2008. Does this mean more Flash Lite in North America? Possibly. However, bringing Nokia on as a major phone supplier would not be enough on it’s own.
Currently, Verizon Wireless and Sprint both use Qualcomm’s network. The difference is that Sprint has not signed a licensing agreement to use BREW for content distribution—so no Flash Lite.
Although the differences of WiMax and Sprint’s existing setup are not entirely clear to me, this may open the door for Flash Lite and Sprint.
Verizon to sell ads on mobile
A recent article on Mobile Monday reports, “Beginning early next year, the second largest mobile operator in the US, Verizon Wireless, will sell banner advertisements on news, weather, sports and other Internet sites that users visit and display on their mobile phones.”

As far as I can tell there is no way for a regular consumer to buy screensavers through their handsets. I’ve built working screensavers for my BREW enabled Motorola V3m with Verizon and loaded them using Qualcomm’s AppLoader—but I am not a regular consumer. That said, does anyone know for sure if Verizon supports Flash Lite screensavers and wallpapers for any of it’s phones? There was a great deal of talk about this at MAX last October, but it was never clarified if screensavers and wallpapers for BREW phones are a thing of the future-or possible today.
Back from MAX
This year I went to the Adobe MAX conference in Las Vegas. Everything was great (including the two poker tournaments that I placed 2nd in) but the best part was the focus that Adobe gave to mobile development and a new partnership with Verizon Wireless. Moving forward, Verizon Wireless in North America will be releasing Flash Lite 2.1 for BREW enabled mobile phones.
