Welcome to WA!

The mobile podcasting sounds very interesting. A friend show me how he used it on his laptop, with a wifi connection. Some interesting things he could access.

Since I have Verizon, I would be afraid of being charged even more for something like podcasting through my phone.

Any info on that, would be nice to know about.

Oh, again, Welcome to WA!.

I live in the UK but spend about half the year in USA. I usually have my laptop with me but sometimes when travelling this becomes difficult so I am thinking of getting a Blackberry. When in US my phone connection is via Verizon and my Internet is via Comcast. I am not sure how to proceed and any advice would be appreciated

Welcome to WA!

Wish I could provide more info on Comcast/Verizon, but I do not use my phone for internet hookup, costs tooo much for me.

I also use my laptop a lot. I have made it a practice to go to places that offer free wifi. For a cup of coffee at a coffee shop or a meal at some eatery that gives free wifi, you can spend most of the day doing everything you need to do there.

When you cannot get to a coffee shop or where free wifi is available, some people use their phones to work off of the internet in their laptops. Course it is REAL slow.

There is also a lot of hotels/motels, etc.. that provide free or for a minimal fee, hookup/wifi for laptop, PC's etc...

Hello all,
Newbie here! Glad to find this site because I just upgraded to the LG LX 350 for my wife and I. (Actually, my one month 'free' online service ends today ) I have some accessory questions, hope it's ok to ask them here:
All of the pictures of the car charger for the LX350 that I see online have a 'wide' connector and not the correct 'male' connector like the one I've seen in the Sprint store. I email one of the accessory sites about this and they responded that the picture is a "generic" picture and that I would receive the correct 'male' connector. Is this true? Also, I don't want to $pend $30.00 for the leather case for this phone that I see in the Sprint store...I've been looking online for almost 3 weeks but still don't see a comparable case. Any suggestions out there? Thanks in advance

I have not run across too many 'generic' pictures. As long as the company is 'reputable' and they have a 'good' return policy, you should be ok. I would check to see if it is going to cost you more the ship it back, if it is not the correct item.

Not speaking of your phone's leasther case, but I keep looking and looking and I have seen cases from $10-50. Just look at the quality, versis the price.

A lot of times, "you get what you pay for", to use on old phrase.

[gosylvan]

I hear you rwsrichard - about getting what you pay for. I'm not looking for a "...just $5.00..." purchase, I just think that $30 for that little bit of leather is a bit much. Hell - I'm about to spend $29.95 for some new sneakers - with a whole lot more skin (size 14s ) Also, I live in Baltimore, Md - my wife lives in Los Angeles right now - I'll be ordering these items for her also and don't want her to have to go through the returning drama... Thanks for the reply.

Oh, I agree. when I saw what it cost for a 'cheap' leather case for my phones, I got upset.

I finally went here for some 'excellent' leather works for my phones. It cost more than the 'cheap' $30 things, but it was more than worth it in the quality.

Unless it is a surprise, why not have the wife look at some places online that you found and let her choose.

Oh, pardon my hospitality. Welcome to WA!

I’m a full-time RV’er and have a family plan service with Verizon. I am interested in surfing the net using my cell phone (LGVX5200) for connection (already have a booster!). My old Dell Latitude LM laptop has Windows 98, 40Mb Ram, 3.02GB hard drive with Pentium® processor.

I’m looking to use my FREE cell phone minutes from the plan, after 2100 and weekends/nights.

I’ve searched the Verizon website, they offer a Mobile Office Kit for $39.99, plus you have to purchase the National Access Data Plan for $59.99, in addition to our current charge of $79.99 (plus tax) for the Family Plan. It’s expensive! I’d like to find a cheaper alternate, with your help!

On web, I found the USB data cable and/or serial port cable, the DC car adapter, and free internet access via www.simple.net. What else do I need?

Question – will I get charged for data calls?
Do I need software to make this happen?

[glc0670]

Hi, Glad I found you guys, I need all the help I can get with my new Cell Phone, I look forward to meeting alot of new friends, Peace

[Friendlyviper]

Howdy;

ThankYou, ThankYou, ThankYou to all.
I have just spent the last 11 hours sitting here trying to get my V3M to Sync with my PC using the Music Essentials Kit. Sure, I could have just loaded the files onto the MSD, but hey, what fun would that have been. I found the forum through a dogpile search, and have been reading it for about 4 hours. I have learned many things. I have used the patch and viola I am connected and sync'd. This is a truly wonderful place. Thanks for being here; and welcome to all others in a tight spot, for you will find the light if you follow the thread
