Free internet with Verizon?

14.4 is what you're gonna get for minutes. Anything faster is going to require a data plan, and probably a newer phone too.

 

when you say "it costs only minutes", you mean they charge you by the minute? more like dial up internet?

how much per minute?

 

I use it all the time with my v710, just uses your minutes.

 

It's called Circuit Switched Data or CSD for short...

 

I use 1x for data/Internet through my phone--it also uses minutes when you don't have a data plan. I'm not sure what changes to configuration you'll have to make though.

 

too bad the StarTac only supports 14.4 dialup. It's not a 1xrtt capable phone.

 

Okay people, here is a crash course on Free Verizon Internet.

First, get the USB cable and the correct drivers for your phone. They are everywhere, so google search the phone, and get them.

Second, enter #073887* (#0setup*), and 000000 for the security code. Navigate to Test Mode, and enable it. Exit to the main menu.

OKAY PEOPLE, THE NEXT STEPS ARE EXTREMLY DANGEROUS, DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT, EDIT ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT IS TOLD!!! IT CAN DAMAGE YOUR PHONE, AND THE ONLY WAY TO REPAIR IT IS TO DO A SETUP>INITIAL SETUP>MASTER RESET. I am not liable for any damages to your phone if you screw up.

Okay, paying heed to the warning above, hit CLR then left softkey very quickly. The screen will blank out and FTS will appear at the top. Hit the right softkey 4 times until ServOpt: NoChg at the top. Press down until HDR Pref has a Greater than sign next to it. Then hit the Right soft key unitl HDR Pref: cdma appears. Then exit, and hit CLR left softkey quickly again. Repeat step 2 only disabling Test Mode. Don't Exit this yet.

Now, open Web Sessions, and Create New, Enter what ever name you want, and go to Gateway IP 1. Enter 64, then press left, until the cursor is to the left of the period. Then enter 233, then 167, and finally 99. When finished, it should read 64.233.267.99 . Click okay, and then scroll down to Port 1 and enter 80. Other ports can be left default. Click done, and it'll say Stored: (Name). Now select (Name), then press Options, and set it as the Default.

Congrats, now mobile browsing from your phone SHOULD be free, if not, I am not liable for any mistakes, you did this at your leisure, and thereby is your fault. Now, to use your phone as a modem, connect it to your computer with the USB cable, let it install the drivers. Make sure it installs Motorola USB modem. If it doesn't then find new drivers. Now, open Start, and the connect to menu, On the right, create a new connection, click next, and then bullet in Connect to the Internet, Set it up manually, and connect using a dial up modem. Click ONLY the usb modem, and then next, Name it somthing like Verizon Free Internet, and then click next, enter #777, then click next.

Now, under username, enter XXXXXXXXXX@vzw3g.com with you wireless phone # as the X's. Under Password enter vzw. Then next.

Next go to start, Run, and enter inetcpl.cpl, then navigate to the connect tab, and select this new connection, click settings, and make sure all the username and pass info are there, Note: the Password may be longer than normal, it's just windows screwing with you. Now click properties, and teh security tab. Click advanced (custom settings), and then settings, unselect all of these execpt PAP Unencrypted Password. Click okay, and yes on the popup warning. Close all the other windows by way of the OKAY button at the bottom.

There, now this connection will operate at speeds that almost border some DSL lines, and only uses wireless minutes, no data, so nights after 9 and Weekends are free. It's in the connect to menu.

For those of you on laptops with a normal DSL or other connection by way of network, go to Start, Run, inetcpl.cpl, click on the connections tab, and MAKE SURE, that "Dial whenever a network connection is not present" is selected.

 

this is for the moto razr so please label it as such

 

Oh, sorry, as for the Internet through the computer, still use the username XXXXXXXXXX@vzw3g.com and password vzw.

 

i believe the startag uses a different address as it is not 3g

 

Again sorry. I though that all of verizon was connected to the 3g network.

 

Wow!!! Thanks so much for that tutorial, I got my internet up and running via my phone right now. I got download speeds of 125 kbps and upload at 107 kbps, that faster than DSL. Thanks so much for the help, I've been working on this for hours and hours and then I found this guide and walla it works. Thanks again!!!

Careful. If you are on one of Verizon's new Nationwide plans that they began offering in November 2007, they now charge data by the kb unless you're on a data plan.

 

is this also for the lg VX8700 ?

 

It doesn't matter the phone, if you use data on one of the new Nationwide Plans, they now charge according to how much data is used. That's just how its billed to your account unless you're on a data plan. The AC plans still count it by minutes though. So it's really determined by which plan you're on.

How about if u have vpack

 

If you're talking about using your phone to access Mobile Web (surfing, downloading applications), try to do it during your unlimited nights/weekends period when it won't cost you anything.

 

Something free? With Verizon? LOL!!!

 

Thanks for this tutorial. I'm a little stumped on the part where it says:

open Web Sessions, and Create New, Enter what ever name you want, and go to Gateway IP 1. Enter 64, then press left, until the cursor is to the left of the period. Then enter 233, then 167, and finally 99. When finished, it should read 64.233.267.99 . Click okay, and then scroll down to Port 1 and enter 80. Other ports can be left default. Click done, and it'll say Stored: (Name). Now select (Name), then press Options, and set it as the Default.

How do I access this menu? I don't see "Web Sessions" as one of my menu choices. Yes, I am still in the menu area where I had to use the six zeros as the password for. Maybe my phone is so old that it doesn't have the software update that gives this option. Some guidance would be appreciated.

My choices are: Browser Reset, User Activation, AKEY, Extended NAM, Vocode: EVRC, Date Rates, SPC Overwrite Permit, System ID, SID/NID Pair, Test Mode, Getit Now Config, and GPS Settings.

 

This thread is 5 years old. I would think by now Verizon has disabled this.
