smitty777 Report post Posted May 20, 2017 Anyone know any of the FMCA & Verizon Data offer specifics? Suppose to include a MiFi and be under $50 a month. UDP, but not sure it is the new Verizon UDP plan, with Hotspot 10GB threshold, or a true UDP? TIA for any info, best to all, Smitty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tbutler Report post Posted May 20, 2017 I wouldn't say there isn't such a benefit but there is nothing I can find under the benefits tab on the FMCA main page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted May 21, 2017 At present time I am using the MiFi. As I said, call for Noah at FMCA. The program is very new. If you are too sceptical, than don't make the call. As everything in life, "It's your choice ". Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillAdams Report post Posted May 21, 2017 Herman, That is not helpful to anyone. Tell us what the program is, where we can find the information and how (not a phone call) to find out what the program involves. You make it sound like it's a secret benefit that can only be given to those in the know. I am hopeful that this is not the case and if it's not, there should be public information available somewhere on this site. Your post says " As I said, call for Noah at FMCA". As you said "where"? Do I need to know a secret handshake or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted May 21, 2017 It is the real deal and I'm as surprised as you, that it has not been posted yet, on FMCA, as a new benefit for all FMCA members! It's $49.95, was passed by the legal department last week...So hopefully it will be on main page this coming week! Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smitty777 Report post Posted May 21, 2017 I read about it on two different forums. But no one knew any of the specifics of the plan... The since it was FMCA, thought I'd ask here on the FMCA forum:)! I felt confident that it existed. But wanted to know: -Was it a reseller working with FMCA -Was it Verizon working with FMCA -Verizon's definition of 'new' UDP, vs the older and no longer available Grandfathered UDP - are key bits of info I'd like to know. -For example the 'New UDP' for MiFi and or Tehtering and or Hotspot, is capped I believe at 10GB. (Love it, advertised all over the media as UDP - but gee, once you hit 10GB, it reverts to basically unusable speeds. For my intended usage, and as I understand it this was a MiFi device in the FMCA plan(?) - 10GB is not really going to cut it for me... -But, if it's really UDP at that price - I'd very much consider it, and then alter my existing Verizon plan accordingly to work along with it. This being a weekend when I first read about it, was not going to be able to all FMCA to ask if anyone could put me in contact with an FMCA rep to talk over the specifics... Was sure hoping to hear something from someone that had been at one of the FMCA gatherings and heard what this was all about... No worries, time will tell, and best to all, Smitty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desertdeals69 Report post Posted May 21, 2017 I have the unlimited data Verizon and I can't tell much difference in speed once I reach 10 gig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted May 21, 2017 Again, I am sorry but you have to call FMCA (513-474-3622) and speak to Noah. I am not a computer, i phone, Android Geek. I do get unlimited Data that works very well for us when home. We live in the country in an all metal home. Until I got the MiFi I had to put my phone (Hot Spot) in the window to get at least 2 bars. Now with the MiFi we can go to any RV park and be on line no matter what kind if WiFi they have if they have WiFi at all. It is as simple as one two three. 1) Call Noah at FMCA, 2) ask your questions and 3) make your decision. Sorry to be so blunt, but all you have to do is make a call and get all your questions answered. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillAdams Report post Posted May 21, 2017 If a discount plan exists there is simply no excuse that information on the plan is not posted here and on the FMCA website for all to see. There are so many details that it's unlikely everyone would even know all of the questions to ask. Sounds like a plan put together for the FMCA regionals and office personnel and been kept hidden from the public. Not good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfe10 Report post Posted May 21, 2017 Ya'll really need to get back out in your RV's. This keyboard time is making some stircrazy. Almost like the dead of winter. But, then guess we can consider some it this entertainment time. BTW, I did e-mail my contact at FMCA yesterday (who will read it tomorrow when he gets to work) and asked for more information on the program. But, heck, look at all the fun we would have missed if it had been easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smitty777 Report post Posted May 21, 2017 Well I did get more detail information. Carrier pigeon express (Harder to have hijacked by them foreign, and not so foreign, agencies...). I open the lead sealed envelope, pulled out the leather parchment and started to read the details of the plan. Was interrupted by a roving band of Fuller Brush Men (My beard was in need of good new brush, so a priority item to me.) - and dang by the time I got back to the parchment - it had self destructed. So, suppose I'll just have to wait and see what other's may have received telepathically from those little green men who are putting the plan together. === Yeah, it's Sunday - bit of rain here, and the DW has let me loose on the net again. (She is the one to blame.) We will find out, when we find out. Now excuse me, I hear the secret knock at the front door the coach - my afternoon beverage should have been delivered via the Bently (It's slight modified, with a ISM in it!!)

If this was something that was prematurely leaked I wish "someone" has simply given that explanation and stated that details would be forthcoming rather than make it sound like some kind of a secret. Maybe MH needs to take a break himself. I tire very quickly of folks telling me what I should or should not be doing when I am doing nothing wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dons2346 Report post Posted May 22, 2017 The VZ plan is in the works however the president leaked it out at some rally before it had been run through the legal department. Don't know all the specifics but you can now sign up for the plan, just call membership services. You have to give them your credit card for billing. FMCA will get a few bucks if you do sign up. Supposedly you will get a new device every time one is available, at least once a year at no charge. So, everyone sit back and put your tin foil hats on, and take some deep breaths Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smithy Report post Posted May 22, 2017 Hello all, Staff has been busy putting together a new member benefit through Verizon. We are working out some details, hence the reason it is not on our website or has been announced yet. No secret handshakes needed or conspiracies taking place. We anticipate the launch in June. Stay tuned! Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
