It is my understanding that Apple has a new update due out called OS 4 and it's supposed to be adding some new features to the iphone. The problem is that I bought Verizon's new HTC Incredible the HTC Incredible and it is a great phone, way better than the Apple iphone, BUT I'm hearing that Apple is going to be coming out with a completely new iphone altogether, and it's supposed to be really nice but no one has any ideas as to when and Apple isn't saying a thing. Should I keep my HTC Incredible, that I have a month to test and give back if I do not want to keep it, or should I give it back, keep my current 3G and wait for the release for the new iPhone- tough to make up my mind.

The agent told me about the chaperone service and explained that I needed to get a new phone in order to track my daughter's phone from mine. (no problem I was at my 2 year renewel period and had a $100 credit). My daughter wanted the Pink RAZR v3, the agent told me that phone would work with the chaperone program. When I got home to set up the program the customer service agent on the phone informed that the RAZR v3 is only "parent" capable not "child" capable. I have inquired with another agent at a different location to confirm this and evidently only a select few phones are capable of supporting the "chaperone child application". I am still researching and asking questions to see if I can correct this mistake by Verizon. I think Verizon needs to clarify this with thier salespeople, I mean what other phone is a 11 year old girl going to want? It is an easy trap to fall into if you are on the family share plan because the RAZR v3 phone is free if you add another line.

Their website indicates that the LG VX5300 phone is Chaperone capable (purchased directly from Verizon, not a distributer). After several hours on the phone with various customer service people & their website, I've learned that only certain VX5300's (depending on serial number) are capable. It's amazing that the cell phone company people (not just Verizon) have so much difficulty supporting their own products & services). I went with Verizon specifically to get the Chaperone service.

In fact, nearly all over Verizon phones support this feature. Tammy, take a <a href="http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=preZip&featureGroup=Chaperone+Parent+Capable" rel="nofollow">look at Verizon's Caperone (Parent) page</a> for more details. The agent must not be aware of the program or may be an authorized dealer (not an actual Verizon store) looking to make more money.

I have the share plan with verizon. We purchased the motorola V3m and as the agent was setting up my system my agent told me I had to also purchase a phone with the parent capabilities. I was told prior and after reading info regarding the chaparone system, my info stated I could access it thru my internet. It did not say I had to Purchase a new phone for myself to get this set up. As we proceeded I was then told the Motorola V3m was not a phone on the chaparone list for this system. I wasted 1 1/2 hours yesterday for this agent to get nowhere. My son does not know he was getting a chaparone phone and I was very frustrated with my agent. Could you please give the correct information regarding what I need to do to get this system rolling?
