Question - V60i to Laptop Connection

Posted: 07-17-2003, 02:25 AM
I would like to use my Verizon V60i to establish an Internet connection with my
laptop computer. I currently have the standard Verizon National Calling Plan.
Will I need to make any changes to my calling plan? What type of cable will I
need and where can I purchase one? Any software required?

Thanks,
John

I think there are two ways you can connect. You could buy one of the
connectivity kits from Verizon (i.e. Mobile Office, Data Conectivity
Kit) to use a USB conneciton, or, you can buy a serial cable and use it
with no additional software.

There are discussions on Howardforums on how to configure the dial up
connection with no adidtional software.

John,
You can buy a software kit with cable included, online, or from Verizon.
Also, you can get a cable-only that fits your computer and the phone and set
it up in the computer as a generic modem. Either way, VZ CS will help you
set it up. I went on the cheap and bought only the cable from Nextel (for a
v90) for $20, but I needed to download a driver for XP.

No plan changes are necessary, Mobile Office only uses minutes. If you want
faster connects, you'll need to change phones, and then either change plans
or add Express Network service.
