    It uses your normal calling minutes based on rate period so N&W applies. There is no extra charge for using it.

    I'm not sure about Sprint and Alltel, but GSM phones aren't made to use for an Internet connection like this.

    I just looked at my bill online and it shows 95 minutes of DATA on it, which is all Express Network, deducted from my peak and night and weekend minutes(unlimited anyways)...so life is great!

    Did you search for any old threads on being able to us NationalAccess for MOU? I knew about it before, but didn't get a cable until X-mas.

    At least now we've introduced several others to using it.

    I think that if more people knew about it, more would e using it, obviously. Then there are the people who are paying $60 a month (old price) for unlimited EN seperately. I'm sure they'd be happy to find out about this.

    Some of them might be using more than their minutes could handle, but I'm sure plenty are over-paying for EN.

    Spread the word!

    that would be a good idea-but what if too many people start using it? VZW might get mad ;)

    umm... i am sorry for sounding stupid, but if you don't have where you can call nationally at no extra charge, wouldn't the area code (777) trigger a national call? :confused:

    I'm confused. You use #777 as the number. The # marks it as a special network code. Like #646(#MIN) and #768(#PMT) for VZW.

    i know, but it shows up on the bill as (777) 000-0000 so would that be considered a long distant call unless u live in the area code 777, if there is one . :D

    It is not considered long distance all the time.

    However, I'm not sure if it would if you were out of your home area and only had a local plan. Obviously, it won't work when you're not on the native VZW network.

    No...its NOT considered a long distance call...they just use 777 as their indicator of data...its not really calling the 777 area code

    and even then, most (if not all) VZW plans include long distance, not that it is related to data usage. yr

    Help. sorry to dig up an old thread.

    I have an LG 9800. I have it hooked up and followed the directions to use is as a modem for my computer (EN config). Anyway, the phone shows it is trying to connect etc, then on my computer screen I get the error that the user name or password is wrong. I am sure I have xxxxxx0050@vzw3g.com and vzw as the password correct. Has Verizon disabled this?

    I called tech support, and was told I have to pay for a $70 a month data package, otherwise, what I was doing is illegal.

    Anyone?
    -------
    here are the steps i followed:
    Control Panel
    Phone and Modem Options
    On the Modems Tab, select you LG CDMA USB Modem, click Properties
    On the Advanced Tab, enter AT$QCMDR=3 for EN as the extra initialization commands (or AT&QCMDR=2 for Q2N)
    Hit OK twice to get back to Control Pannel

    Network Connections
    Create a new connection
    Next
    Connect to the Internet, Next
    Set up my connection manually, Next
    Connect using a dial-up modem, Next
    ISP Name: VZW EN (or whatever you choose), Next
    Phone number: #777, Next
    Set for your user or all users, Next
    User name: ##########@vzw3g.com (replace ### with your 10-digit phone number)
    Password: vzw
    Confirm password: vzw
    Choose other options as needed, Next
    Finish

    I had trouble configuring some phones the manual way, however, if you want the VZW soft, it seems to work all the time, you just need the correct modem soft installed, which it looks as if you already have. PM me if you want it, and I can see if I have a copy here. Otherwise, I can send it in a few weeks.

    Should, however, you may or may not be able to use bluetooth, depends on if the obex is enabled or not.
