i went to a corporate store and was about to but a Vu but it turns out not only do you have to subscribe to the $15 for the Mobile TV but also another $15 dollars for the unlimited data usage since it has to connect to the internet to work. Since it was $30 i just decided to buy the pearl and left.
the rep was wrong. at&t has freakin TERRIBLE PISS POOR training! i should know, used to work there. lol. not the fault of the trainers. the fault of the company not having materials, not scheduling time, or hiring idiot workers because they had to and the turn over rate is so high.
anyway, back to ur comment. you DO NOT need internet. Mobile TV does NOT use the internet. it uses over the air broadcast. only MobiTV uses the internet, which is something different altogether, has been out for years, and works on most phones.
within 30 days of purchase, you should be able to: 1) return that phone 2) tell them u want a credit for your freakin inconvenience, misinformation, and having to drive all around town twice 3) exchange it for a vu.
That's actually not true. They use two different services. You pay $15 for the tv but you don't need the internet. It's true though that if you want the unlimited internet you can pay the additional $15 for it. Whatever rep told you that you needed both just wanted to rip you off.
