CELL PHONE INTERNET ACCESS

Good news! I'm finally online via Verizon with my LG VX8360 tethered to my laptop and am posting this message via that connection.

I did have some problems with getting VZAccess to work properly but Verizon tech support was able to get me working.

Thanks again to everyone who helped me walk through this sometimes difficult process.

Oh, the tech support guy did confirm that I can turn the feature on and off at will and that I'm not limited to once a month as I was previously told by Verizon. This is consistent with what StuartT previously reported.

I'm still confused, slightly. I am thinking of getting that same phone (8360) for tethering. The plan I want is a basic plan w/450 minutes, nothing else. Will that work? Can I turn on/off broadband as you describe without having to have the other $15 per month add on? I want to be able to access the internet only when camping, which hasn't been very often, and then turn it back off. Am I on the right track? Thanks.

One more question - So I am on the 450 minute plan. Does the time I am on mobile broadband count against my minutes? Thanks.
