Since the Verizon back door has been shut, would it be beneficial to take one's phone off of 1x?

Cingular has a USB Cellular air card that will work with your desktop. That's what I am using right now. My band with seems to suck at my house but, I'm spending several weeks in south floriday this winter and I think I'll be in a pretty good coverage area there. I've got unlimited data coverage for I think it's $39.00 per month. It's n ot as fast as myh DSL, but I think if I had bettger service it would be ok.

1x is used for all voice and also txt msg, if you send pic msg, then it will speed up if EvDo in On
however IF you have NOT changed your account, you can still use 1x, verizon is tracking data ( look for it my account ) but thay have NOT started charging older accounts for MB older accounst are still getting by with the 1x and minutes of use..
I would be careful with it and watch it, but it still works on old accounts
ALL new accounts must add a data feature or pay by the MB
you can also add the $15 vcast pkg for mobile web to your account and use it too hide the tethered PC useage on your old account. just keep the phone in 1x mode, you can even use it during the day, NO minutes are used this way, if you have a vcast phone 8100 8300 E815 etc..
you can't add Vcast data to an OLD non-vcast phone like an lg3200 or 4500

Mr Wizard: If you're monitoring---------I am about to try your instructions to get my 8300 into 1X mode to use on Verizon. A novice's question: Can I just use the Quicklink Mobile which is installed and which I have used with my Audivox or do I need to install the MOK software I bought for the LG 8300?

you need to install the the DRIVER"S for the 8300 from the CD of the MOK
you can create the connection manually in windows
you do not need to install the verizon dial up software, you can, but the dialup software is NOT an absolute necessity, but the drivers must be installed
you quick link connection wil have the wrong ID and password

I am NOT SURE that the back door is shut. I used it a few weeks ago (only for a few minuents) to check. It still worked and I was NOT billed for the usage since it was on a weekend. I will try again later this week.
I do have a 4 year old phone.
Please give me enough troubles, uncertainty, problems, obstacles and STRESS so that I do not become arrogant, proud, and smug in my own abilities, and enough blessings and good times that I realize that someone else is in charge of my life.

I was in the Grand Canyon in September and had excellent Verizon Wireless cell phone service at the park. Used it for internet access as well as phone calls.
