XXXXXXXXXX@vzw3g.com (xs are your phone number) and the password is vzw. That'll connect at national access speeds. almost all plans have national access minutes only useage on them. If yours doesn't work, call CS and have them add it. It's free, just uses airtime, so you're ok on nights and weekends. Works awesome, I get 110-125K and the real download speeds test at 50-60K

Actually, I did that and it worked, but I talked to customer service and they made it sound like you are charged for the kb transfe amount instead of just minutes. It is way faster and I'll have to call back to get a definite answer.
EDIT: After more searching, you appear to be correct. Apparently all newly activated Verizon accounts have national access (signified by a 1x in the upper left of the screen) It seems the Verizon rep was trying to sell me their $80 data transfer plan with some software accelerator ****. So as long as it uses only airtime minutes, I'm there. thanks for the info.
