Re: CELL PHONE INTERNET ACCESS
I hear Verizon is going to start charging for "data" transmission if you're using their Quick2Net. I have had a Motorola Mobile Office Kit for serveral years but have found I have to stay with older phones that are "Trimode" rather than duelmode like most of the new ones. There are two options: I set up my phone to dial my hometown ISP dialup service so Verizon only sees it as a long distance phone call. I have now switched to Roadrunner for my ISP and RR supplies (at no extra charge) local dial up numbers for when you're traveling. I will test them out for the first time in December from Gallup New Mexico. The only problem I've ever had with using Verizon Quick2Net was that it didn't work if I was in an "extended network" area. Would like to hear from anyone who has used RR's dial up service. 30' Gulfstream Class C Two spoiled Labs Yellow "Hippy" VW Bug356Views0likes0CommentsRe: CELL PHONE INTERNET ACCESS
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.
