I got a message on Saturday about the 1x backdoor that said that I did not have authorization to access that feature. I just spoke to Verizon and they said that they deactivated that feature over the weekend. The gal said that I would nee to pay them $60/month for the broadband access (that's not gonna happen). I know there are other carriers that allow similar access on their networks without having to spend an excessive amount of money. I'll be looking into them. Let me know if anyone figures out how to get around this.
