C43 w/free internet?

Bought a C43 AMG less than a month ago. I get to use the internet (www. etc) without using my Verizon hotspot! My dash indicates 4 or 5 bars, and to the right of the bars are two opposing arrows with a lock. My phone is Verizon and the dash shows Verizon when I have my phone on but the Verison goes away when the phone is off. I did not sign up for anything that would give me free internet. Does anyone else have this? The sales person says that is not normal.

Free internet

Here is what I found on my situation. I have a 3 year lease and it looks like it is free for the first 3 years.

Do I need a credit card to active Mercedes me connect?

You do not have to provide a credit card to use Mercedes me connect. The standard package includes a wide range of features, with remote access features standard for the first three years.

Yes it's like SiriusXM. When the trial ends it will just stop working. It's up to you to subscribe to it if you want to continue.

The internet part is only for 30 days. Remote services, such as Unlock/Lock, Remote Start is for 3 years free.

Again this is assuming that your model has Mercedes Me Connect available to it.

jerhu....OK, so I will loose it after 30 days. There is no way to use my Verizon hotspot with the car to access and look at things on the net like FOX or CNN, right?
