Phone Question. Help!?

[tricia1408]

So, I have a Verizon Adamant ZTE. It's a messaging phone. I can get on the internet on it, but it isn't like an iPhone. I want to get on it for Facebook, and Twitter, would it cost money even if it's a messaging phone? This might make me sound a tad unintelligent, but I'd really like to know!

There really isn't such thing as a messaging phone. I assume you mean a phone with qwerty keyboard, but not necessarily a smart phone. When you use a smart phone to surf, the website knows it's a smartphone and sends you the mobile version, so it fits your screen. If you use a "dumb" phone to surf, you get the same screen that you would see on a computer, shrunk to 3 inches or whatever, so it's hard to view. You also pay a lot of you do't have a data plan and use your phone to surf. I'm not sure if that answers your question or not.
You don't sound unintelligent, just uninformed as to the nature of cell phone. Do some research on wiki or something and obtain more info and get educated.

Facebook, twitter, app store, and email. Are all data, so yes it'll cost. Anything that is associated with the internet will cost you, but I would check with your cell company about data plans if you don't already have a data plan. One tip though, MAKE SURE YOU DONT GO OVER YOUR GB's or MB's, it'll will cost you a great deal, I learned that the hard way a few times. Make sure they explain it so you know your limit, and if not then go to the cell provider to check. DON'T USE DATA TOO OFTEN!
