I have been tethering my Windows XP laptop to the internet with my Motorola RAZR V3m cell phone using VZaccess. Now I have bought a Windows 7 computer but Verizon does not seem to have a version of VZaccess for this phone. Their site says "check back later". Is there some way I can use my new computer with Verizon? I sure hate to buy a new phone.
you can do a manual setup for a new dial up connection, just copy all the data ( settings info ) from your old PC and create the NEW dial up internet connection and enter all the setup info thats the easy part!
the troublesome part will be whether win7 will connect with your phone as a MODEM, very likely the USB storage modes will work, but those are not the same as modem or diagnostic modes, try to load the winXP driver for the phone into your win7 pc, or go online and search for a motorola rzr driver for win7
you need a win7 compatible driver for the phone & PC to communicate and work as a modem
its a motorola hardware issue NOT a verizon software issue
since your phone is NO longer sold by vzw, they will NOT be looking for a win7 driver and will NOT be updateing vzw access to work with the rzr on win7, in fact most of the vzw lineup will not work as a modem on win7 unless win7 can use the XP or vista drivers
