#777

A few weeks back my phone stopped working when I called #777 for mobile access. I finally got around to finding out why.

I just spent 20 minutes on the phone with verizon. Talked to three people there and the third person told me: "verizon wireless only supports bluetooth headsets" 👿

Verizon went through and disabled my access to #777 because I have a phone with bluetooth and that could be a useful feature.

I am sick of their BS. I think I might have to cancel.

Then call them back and tell that person they are wrong.

According to http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/dispatcher ?action=DISPLAY&item=_FAQ_TOPIC&topicID=190#1 249

The Motorola v710 currently supports the Bluetooth profiles:

* Headset-for connecting Bluetooth headsets
* Hands-free-for connecting hands-free car kits
* Dial-up Networking (DUN)-to allow the handset to be used as a modem
* Now available with software version 8700_01.40.OR:
Allows Phonebook/Date Book synchronization to bluetooth-compatible PCs with optional Motorola Phone Tools Accessory (sold separately)(Current price is $39.99).

My phone does not work for use of #777 over the bluetooth either. Dialup Networking works with bluetooth, but this is not standard dialup networking, it's verizon's own dialup software which (unless there is a newer version I don't have) wouldnt work. If someone else knows how to get this to work, I'd be interested to hear about it
