Verizon Smartphone Data - is it free over my wi-fi connection?

You do not consume data from your data plan while you are connected to your wifi network.

In addition some of your droid phones (like the Galaxy Nexus) will have built in applications to monitor your data use (according to your phone, not the provider) and impose limits on your data use.

sweet, those are both good things to hear. I’m getting a Samsung Droid Charge, I’ll check into those data monitoring tools

Don’t worry – verizon will somehow try to find a way to charge you for something they are not delivering. It’s what they do best.

Wifi doesn’t use their 3G/4G network, so therefore does not count.

@sushilovinfun I believe these are what you are referring to. Verizon’s new widget is… sub-par.

Wifi doesn’t and shouldn’t count. I use verizon and since Im on the new shareplan, I use wifi when I can so I don’t use too much.
