    The tech said something like if you have mobile web on your account then that feature code would automatically be on your account...well I guess I'm gonna search ebay for a usb cable and just try it out the way you told me...
    Thanks,
    Andy
    I know in my case that Quick2Net worked before I had mobile web. I don't know for sure about Nationalaccess. I'm almost certain, hearing from others, that you should be fine, and nothing should have to be done. I'd try and see what happens...

    I've never had mobile web on my account. I've never paid for anything other than minutes (and 22 cents for a few text messages) and I get about twice the speed of dial-up. You'll be fine, Andy.

    The big question on my mind is this: I've got the service workingm and peak at around 16k/sec (using linux and a Samsung SCH-A670 phone), but will 'unlimited nights and weekends' apply to this, or does it *always* deduct minutes?

    it will deduct minutes based on when you make the connection, yes. You will be able to connect using unlimited nights and weekends.

    Are you usin g quick2net or Nationalaccess? I'm guessing that you may have either a very weak signal, or your software is not configured properly if you are using nationalaccess. I typically, at worst, have had about 40k/sec on nationalaccess.

    16 kiloBYTES,not kilobits, and since the port is (i believe) an emualted serial port, that's about the theoretical max anyway. As for which service I'm using? I have no idea! =] How do I find out?

    Just noticed my phone's data port was set to 115200 in the prefs instead of 230400. I'll see how that performs.

    --edit-- no real change, though I peaked at 19k/second once during a download, it usually sat right at 15.9k/sec. It *could* be a software configuration thing, or more likely an ACM driver thing in linux.

    I'm sure overand is using Quick2Net...how did you set your internet service up??
    Anyway, I'll see in a couple days what I can do, once my USB cable arrives.

    overand, double-check on the B(ytes) vs b(its). The k(1000) vs K(1024) doesn't matter as much, but you're computer should be reporting in K.

    If the data port speed is set to 115200 (default, probably), that translates to 112 Kbps or 14 KBps.

    From what he's reporting, I'd say he's using EN.

    The Quick2Net advertises speeds at 14.4 Kbps or 1.8 KBps. EN should be 40-60 Kbps or 5-8 KBps with bursts up to 144Kbps or 18 KBps.

    Next time I'm using EN I'll pay close attention to what kind of speeds I'm getting.

    Yes, the phone's 'serial port' is set to 230,400 (with no units listed) but I can assume that's bits per second, so ~230 kilobits or a theoretical max of ~28.75 kiloBYTES a second. I have no idea at what rate the computer is actually communicating with the phone, but 230kilobits sounds right given my absolute max peak around 19K(bytes) during a download, what with overhead and network traffic, but my downloads are almost always around 10-16 kiloBYTES a second. This is completely adequate for me, and yes, I know the difference between bits and bytes. ANd on that topic, it's common for serial port speeds to be listed in BAUD, or bits-per-second (including stop bits and other serial-line control data, so the actual data throughput is always lower than the baud rate). Anyway I don't see why 16k/sec would be considered 'slow' or why anyone would think that my system must be misconfigured if I'm getting those kinds of speeds.

    --edit-- ah heh no prob on the misreading. it's a lot of switching back and forth.

    If your using EN, you will be using your phone number to log on, ex. 26271907**@vzw3g.com as a user name.

    Quick2Net would just be qnc as both user name and password to connect.

    All of the Internet uses #777. Even WAP. It will show up on the bill as (777)000-0000.

    wgray, I sent you an email a while ago, don't know if you got it...to both of you:
    I received my USB cable last week, but the people forgot the include the driver's CD, now I called them back and they're sending it out by the end of the week they said. My question is: I tried to get my laptop to recognize my phone as a modem w/out the USB Driver CD installed...this isn't possible, right? Or am I missing something?
    Thanks again guys,
    Andy

    Exclamation Re: Quick 2 Net and Nationaccess on VZW America's Choice

    Hello,

    First of all, i'm kind of newbie when its time to talk about wireless internet. I just wanna know how it works..
    I'll explain.. I have a laptop and I have also a cell (Audiovox CDM-8300) which got the 1X feature? Now, I bought a cable to connect those 2 things together. Let me know if I'm wrong. I don't know if you know the service providers in Canada, but I'm with Telus (www.telus.com). I'm on the "Pay&Talk" which is a plan that works with cards. I pay 25$ to get the unlimited evenings and weekends calls. All I need to do is to plug the cable and install the software I assume. But how can I connect.. Do I need to add a service to my account? You talk about Quick2Net or something. Does the phone act as a normal modem? If I already have a dial-up ISP, will I be able to dial to a local number to connect with my cell ? Does it works by minutes or data transfer? Will I get charged if Im using it only in the evening and Im on the unlimited evening calls?

    Sorry, but this thread only deals with VZWicon, not TelUS.

    On average, how long does it take for you guys' minutes used on National Access to show up online and on #646?
