Sure, go check it out @ verizonwireless.com

then go to the BUSINESS tab, drop down box to WIRELESS INTERNET SERVICE, then go over to WIRELESS PHONE MODEMS. and there your phone is listed. You can get all the specs there!

ImenVerizon, this is what prompted me to post in the first place. Maybe I just bought the wrong phone, but $59.99 to connect with my phone vs. $15.00 with a Blackberry is a little out of whack, don't you think?

I just don't think it's the deal you make it out to be. $15 across the board wouldn't be bad. $59.99 is a joke.

As an aside, my employer would not appreciate such an arrangement as I am the one doing the employing. The fact that this deal is not proratable? It doesn't get much worse.

I know you work for Verizon, but this is a tough sell, even if you're signing on for the occasional month now and then (it wasn't clear to me if you were saying this was permissible).

Thanks for the info, but I'll suffer with what I have.

OK, but Blackberry is ALREADY paying 44.99 plus $15 for the tethering, so it's the same price. You can't have a blackberry without unlimited kbu package coming right along with it.

Anyhow, my job (and apparently my hobby in my spare time) is to let you know what is out there, since you didn't. what is within your biz means is your area. I completely understand your hesitation, and I will find out for definite sure if we can prorate that for you.

As for selling. I've got plenty of other features and products I could get you to bite into! Jk. I wish you luck in your biz venture and lemme know if you need any communications advising in the future! icon_wink.gif

I'm sorry to bring up a topic that has grown cold, but I must get some facts straight.
If I am using the phone as a modem, is this going to charge me extra?
I connected to my dial up service and my phone had a 14 kbps on the screen. is this simply using my minutes like a normal land line would do?

also, Can I be sure that I don't accidentally access the high speed by setting it up wrong?(I do not want to be paying extra)

thanks for the help

Verizon caps your "unlimited" data at 5GB/month so it's not unlimited.
Second, expect your service to be terminated if you want to go on youtube and stream videos or have any fun.

Verizon= rip off.
