I Am using my v710 as a modem for lap top and no charge. Anyone else?
ok so here is the deal....
verizon says you cannot use any of their phones as a modem without being charged for data. They say there is no way that i use my v710 as a modem and only get charged minutes and not data time. They say that if i am connecting it is only as a dial up call and not on 1x @ 120k But that is exactly what I do all of the time... With no charges other than minutes.
So here is what i need help with???
Am i just lucky that this is working this way and who the hell knows why? Or is anyone else doing this also without using data time and just minutes?
I need to upgrade but do not want to lose this feature...anyone else using any newer bluetooth phones this way? if so which ones?
As usual verizon in store reps ...

Myself and my fiance used our V710s since day one (August 2004 to July 2005) for data access and never got charged anything other than minutes. (fee nights and weekends too). Then we upgraded to the E815 and did the same since July 2005. Getting EVDO speed for only the price of minutes. Its not stealing (as some claim) cause I pay for the minutes. If Verizon didnt want us to use it, they should block it. In any case I have heard their scare tactics for the past 2 years: "Oh no, you cant do that! If we find out we will give you outrageous fines, suspend your account.. Blah blah blah" I have yet to hear anyone actually have that happen to. And besides, with the Class Action suit against them because of some of the features they withdrew from t...
