| rdfs:comment | - 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. 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.
- 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.

| abstract | - 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 SĂ©samo 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.
