Verizon's Galaxy S6 phones won't have Microsoft apps pre-installed

17 April, 2015
On the other hand, S6 devices from AT&T will come with Skype and OneNote, but not OneDrive.

    AnonD-351867, 17 Apr 2015thanks for your info, i will try that :)Hi...I saw you had questions about your phone. I currently work for Net10/Straight Talk (under the same company but different services), and I can answer as many questions as possible for you. If you are serious, we support phones that works on the 800/1900 bands and we offer 4G as well. Your phone just has to be unlocked and you can purchase one of our activation kits ($14.95) at any retailer then give us a call. You can call our Manager's Dept @ 1866-667-6470 and use reference PIN 627427 valid for 2 weeks Mon-Sun 8:00am-11:45pm EST. I'll be waiting to see if you have any more questions and I'll be more than happy to assist you.

        This was done by Verizon because Verizon has their VZ cloud service for which they charge monthly fees.

        If they include free 100GB onedrive, no one will buy VZ Cloud service. Simple business decision here.

          I guess they got short on memory to add their bloat ware. And so they had to delete some apps from the phones.

Cellphone service & internet services are very expensive in USA. Find a good MVNO for LA. I'm in Michigan & using 'Lycamobile'. It is a T-mobile MVNO & as good as a main stream operator.

                Sooo true! Hate carrier branding. Its an insult for a manufacturing company.

                          The S6, S6 Edge are beautiful phones but solely made and marketed to take market share away from Apple.

                          The problem is these Samsung based iPhones you have to buy a phone on what you expect your use to be.

                          Those upgrading from the S4 to the S6 face a problem as the S4 comes with 64Gb memory expansion. The S6 starts at 32Gb.

                          So a 100Gb OneDrive helps.
                          Not offering this forces someone to buy a higher memory phone and or buy cloud cover themselves

                          Samsung clearly in having 100Gb wanted to make up for no microSD and can't.

                          Now all those who say no a memory cards is no big thing wrong.

                          Did you also catch the piece on the price a new battery plus of sending your phone off to get it done as it has to be insured

                              They'll remove some apps and add their junk (carrier specific) apps. The carrier branded phones are loaded with bloatware making the Samsung phones' experience worse. The Samsung international phones are so much better than these.

                              I was hoping Samsung will move away from the carrier branding since Galaxy S4 but in vain!! Somehow Apple commands the way by not allowing any carrier to alter things.
