Help Problem with NFL '11

shortarc

Newbie
Just tried to download this app and apparently Verizon somehow has it locked out so you have to buy their own nfl app.

Just wondered if there was anyone that knows of a work around. I tried to load it straight from the web and it still wont let it install.:mad:
 
What NFL app are you talking about?

never mind I see it, usually turning on airplane mode works, but not sure.

2nd edit: no go on airplane mode, looks like you would need access to the actual .APK file. I personally like the NFL mobile app from Verizon and it has better reviews.
 
I'll have to do a little more research, It was my understanding that they recently changed to a ten dollar fee.

Just copied this form the NFL-Verizon ad.

**Verizon Video monthly access fee waived for NFL Mobile during 2011-2012 NFL Season on 4G smartphones.
Video subscription required for video content on all non-4G smartphones. Message & data rates may apply for app download & use.
Available on select smartphones. Coverage not available everywhere.

I have the Incredible. Not 4G.

I just downloaded and it installed it to my phone and was not informed of any charges, was warned that I *may* incur charges for some video clips, but that is no different than the warning I received last year. I'll check my bill at the end of the month.
 
The VZW will stream LIVE football games, this is what incurs the $10 charge.

I haven't re-downloaded it so I can't check, but the only advantage I could see of the "generic" NFL app had over the VZW version is I'm not the VZW version as the real time scoreboard. I'll check later today.
