Re: Droid on PagePlus?

After gaining some experience with a WM 6.x handset, I tried the Eris and the Motorola Droid, and prefer either.

At the moment, I'm using the $30/month PagePlus plan with 1200 minutes plus 50MB of data (enough for checking email when traveling).

On Verizon, Droid-phones apparently require a data plan - but will they work properly on PagePlus?

And will I be able to use the GPS functions?

Thanks!

No. Verizon has prevented the Droid from being activated on PagePlus. I think that PagePlus has pissed them off by offering plans that are so much better than Verizon's own plans.
