Great thresd.
I have Verizon America's Choice - unlimited nites and weekends.
Was told phone MUST BE a trimode to work and a lot of the newer phones are duel mode.
Used a Samsung 301 and now have a Motorola V60. Bought both phones on Ebay and they work fine.
Also bought on Ebay a Verizon mobile office kit which is specific for each phone.
Downloaded the software from the MOK, hooked up phone a used the "Quick2net" option which is free - only uses minutes. No monthly charge. Only works if you're in a digital area, not analog. Have used this system a lot when on the road. Not the speediest but does work.
Tried one time to dial into my home ISP but apparently their system didn't recognize my computer from my cell phone.
LOVE gadgets.
