You will need to use the online method below to suspend the plan, otherwise you will be billed $50/month for 12 months. Important Message to Customer: Your embedded modem activated with Verizon Wireless can be suspended without billing for a maximum of 180 days in a 12 month period. The contract will be extended by the number of days the service is suspended without billing. After the service has been suspended without billing for 90 days, the service may be automatically reactivated depending on the reason for the suspension. After it has been reactivated, you may suspend the service again for another 90 days without billing. Suspension Process: Online go to and register for a My Verizon account. During the registration process the system will state it is sending your handset a temporary password. Since the device you have activated cannot receive text messages you will receive a letter from Verizon Wireless with your temporary password. Once you have received your letter you can

6 sign on with this password and follow the prompts from the system. Once registration is complete you can sign in and suspend service yourself. Currently there is no charge to suspend service when requesting it via your online account. Call Verizon Wireless Customer Support (800) and request a Suspension of Service. Prepare to provide the 10 digit mobile number and reason for request. (Ex: This device will not be in use for 2 months due to the seasonal nature of our business.) Currently there is a $15 fee to suspend service via the toll free number above. If you have any questions, or need further information please contact the Data Activation Center or Ag Leader
