- V CAST prevents video playback and menu navigation if there is no EV-DO coverage available. V CAST is one of the few mobile phone-based systems on which more advanced games, including those with 3-D graphics (similar in quality to the original PlayStation or the Sega Saturn), can be played. Most, but not all, V CAST games require airtime for use, but most of the V CAST plans give users unlimited airtime for all videos and games.

| - V CAST is a video streaming service provided by Verizon Wireless. User subscriptions include access to a network of programming available from various vendors which are accessible from select Verizon compatible cellular phones. In 2006, Sesame Workshop announced that some of its Sesame Street and Plaza Sésamo programming would be made available on the V CAST service. Aiming to allow parents to provide "entertainment that is both culturally relevant and educational," clips from both shows are grouped into a series of Learning Moments which cover such topics as letters, numbers, getting ready for school, and other learning concepts. A special "Sesame Favorites" section is dedicated to memorable moments from Sesame Street's 37 years of programming for fans of all ages. Clips on the service are updated and rotated on a regular basis, and are free of charge beyond the basic subscription fee Verizon charges for access to the video network.

The V CAST service plans provide both basic and premium content, and the service provides users with the ability to upload music from personal computers to cellphones—some with the help of third-party software such as BitPim.
