Quick2Net Question
If so, how do I access it? I read something about dialing #777 with your modem. Is this correct? Anyone know how it works? The verizon site wasnt very clear on what method of connecting w/modem gets you to the high speed vs low speed connection.
So really the question isnt if a mobile office kit is available, but if Quick2Net is still available, and if yes, how do I use it?
I have a data cable and have no problem setting the phone up as a modem right now. I can dial in to a dialup ISP and connect at 14.4. But, that ISP is a very basic 10hr/month setup I keep for backup purposes. So I was hoping to use quick 2 net for nights & weekends when on the road. Maybe I'll just give it a shot, and see if Verizon reams me with fees 😁

Is Verizon saying that for my $39.95 I dont get as many features as someone with the same plan that has a less expensive phone? Do you have anything to Cut and Paste that says Quick 2 Net (14.4) is not available?
I need to reiterate - I _DONT_ want 'broadband'. I'm not trying to get free broadband. I want 14.4k. I'm just looking for confirmation that this 'quick 2 net' thing either exists or doesnt exist.
The problem with verizon is that if you go to their website, there's a whole lot of text, but very little in the way of hard information.

I did get an email back from Verizon on this. The answer was a bit more clear. Quick 2 Net is now called Quick Net Connect, and is still available.
The basic Mobile Office service will allow a connection speed of 14.4 Kbps to the default Verizon Wireless QNC (Quick Net Connect) circuit switched connection or your existing Internet Service Provider. There is no additional access fee for this basic Mobile Office QNC service, as usage i ...
