Do you still need BroadbandAccess Connect if you have VPack?

What is the difference between these "Unlimited Data" plans? I have the Motorola V3c, Ve and V9m, all of which include DUN in the phone feature set.

To use your phone as a modem you will need the Broadband access connect feature regardless of a V-Pack feature. I believe for handsets (non-PDA and BB) it is $59.99/mo. Cheers! 😉

Bluetooth®
Profiles Supported: Headset, Handsfree, Serial Port, Dial Up Networking, Bluetooth Stereo Support for Listening to Music, Object Push & File Transfer for device generated images, video & vCard.

Prior to the introduction of VPack, you just used the DUN for a 1x connection and the data usage was free. How do you get that service restored?
