When we decided to spend summers traveling we got Verizon cell phone with National access and the hoome office program so I could get on line thru the summer. This year when I tried to get on it wouldn't let me. I called Verizon and they said I would have to pay extra for the service. In the beginning I could use it with the same plan I have with the cell phone service. at no extra charge. Since the service was so slow and most of the time we were out of range it wasn't worth the extra money. I just catch up on my mail when we are at my daughters now but I'm upset with Verizon and will be changing cell phone carriers as soon as we get back home.
