Where is the option for unlimited text messaging for my Verizon Galaxy Tab? It only does up to 5000 text messages and I use way more than that.

That is the only plan. It is unlimited to every verizon number but then you get 5000 for numbers outside the network. I have seen as many as 20000 on an account with no overage because of the unlimited verizon texting inckuded with that package. Now, if you only text people with other carriers and still need more than 5000, get google voice.

For those of you on T-Mobile, what data plan are you using? Is anyone still able to use 2.99 or 5.99 tzones?

Yes you can, you just have to create two APN.
One for data and one for MMS

$5.99 T-Zones still working fine here. Been with T-Mo for, wow about 8 years now. Used the same plan and SIM with my Treo 650 (and Handspring VisorPhone before that) until I got my N1 in January 2010.
Only have 300 min and 400 sms per month, but it's more than I need with unlimited data. Bill is only $44/mo including fees.
Always had good experiences with T-mo customer service too. The thought of them being swallowed by AT&T makes me want to cry.
I'm sure if the deal goes through the T-Zones ride will end.

There is no more t-zones available to new customers. But I believe you can still get the web2go which is $10/month. I am using that right now and the best way to get it is through it's website.

I keep getting text messages from unwanted people (someone from my past) and i was wondering if you could suggest an app. I have looked at a few apps on the market but either they interfeer with my incomming calls where i cant answer or hang up or they require a monthly susbcription. I just want something that will block an incomming text from a specific number, thats it, no more no less. I am on a prepaid play with staright talk so going through my cell phone provider wont help. Any suggestions. Thank in.

What is this about?
The Nexus 4 launched without WiFi Calling support for T-Mobile USA customers. I'm starting this bounty to encourage people to port this feature to the Nexus 4. It has been done in the past, and there are even claims that the N4 was being tested with WiFi Calling support before launch.
For more read this: http://t-mobile-coverage.t-mobile.com/4g-wireless-broadband-service?uid=Coverage_3
Why should you care about this?
WiFi Calling will give all T-Mobile USA customers who use the Nexus 4 the ability to use their T-Mobile phone number to make/receive calls and text messages over an active WiFi network. As well, post-paid T-Mobile customers could avoid using their minutes, if they are on a limited or pooling plan, while using WiFi Calling. Customers need to ensure they have the "Free WiFi Calling" SOC attached to their line and a valid 911 address on file. The 911 address requirement also applies to pre-paid T-Mobile USA customers.
How can you help?
Simply reply to this thread showing your support to have this awesome feature ported to the Nexus 4. Optionally, you can let us know how much you personally would be willing to put up to see T-Mobile WiFi Calling come to the Nexus 4. Personally, I am staking $50 for this feature; however, you can stake any amount you wish, or absolutely none at all. You being here and reading this is good enough for me. But if it is at all possible, please at least reply to this thread. The more exposure it gets, the better our chances our of getting it accomplished!
Presently, the bounty is valued at $1400. The value of the bounty changes frequently as more people enlist their support towards the completion of this project. So, please consider helping out the entire community by showing your support in this thread. Even if it doesn't affect you at all, there is a vast amount of people looking forward to using this feature as soon as possible.
Thank you!

I don't yet have one. I would be willing to pay for it (around $20) though if I get one. The thing making me doubt getting it is the OTG issues. Might get one anyway.
I'd toss in $10 (not the richest guy) because I get don't service in my house.
T-Mobile isn't too terrible here where I live, but not having WiFi Calling is a disappointment when you trace to places without coverage
Bounty
WiFi Calling would be great :-/
$10
Guys, my suggestion is to use Vonage. Uses your number and doesn't use minutes from existing T-Mobile plan. Works over WiFi and 4G/3G
If you don't mind having another number, there's always Google Voice and VOIP.

Back when I had T-Mobile, developers got Wi-Fi Calling working on the Nexus One and I think I had it on my Nexus S but root access was required because the kernel had to be modified. Don't know if getting it enabled without root would be possible.

But why pay for something like Vonage if I could keep my number and have reliable service via WiFi for free with WiFi-Calling? (Free with my current plan)

Dang, common misconception
Vonage Mobile is a free app that uses your current number and calls out via 3G/4G or WiFi.
All free

I looked at it.... it says its only free if the other person also has the vonage app. You have to buy minutes for regular calls

I made a call to my dad who doesn't have the Vonage app... it worked...
And I used it on an unactivated phone
Just checked the app info... yeah idk why it says they need the Vonage app, maybe they mean for picture messaging and texts?
Also Vonage has 3000 minutes a month, so maybe if you get more friends the 3000 minutes will be raised for free?
Probably just an issue with wording...

My only question about Vonage's is when they call you will it go thru wifi! The only reason I want WiFi calling is because I get no reception in my house
I put up $10 for this bounty.

In your case, Vonage wouldn't be a solution because you can't receive calls with it.
See, a normal fix to this would be to reject the call then call them back with Vonage, but if you don't get service you won't even get the call.

He wants to upgrade to the note 3 but he is not qualified till next year.
Not sure how Verizon and att are different about adding lines.
Can he add a new line. Get the note 3. Then turn around next day or online and drop that new service to basic line ? And just pay the 9.99 or w/e the basic phone price is then swap the note 3 to his main line?
Thanks

Ive done that on att. You need to have a dumbphone (non smartphone) imei number for customer service to drop the required data plan they make you buy with the note 3 otherwise you have to pay for the data plan plus the 9.99 extra line fee

How long has he had service? I'm not qualified for an upgrade until next year but was able to get an early upgrade..have him dial 611 and ask to get transfered to ”customer resolution” ..oh I'm also a Premier member not sure if it has anything to do with it..

You can call customer service an request an early upgrade. The agent who handle your call will have to get an override from a manager. So it'll depend on the agent who receives your call. But you can callback several times until you get an agent who's willing to help you.
I upgraded my line before my contract expires. I was 11 months into the contract.
