as i pull over to post this, I wont use this so much so this is good for now. This does only use minuts right?

haha. I'm not sure what your setup uses. I remember threads going back a ways when EVDO first came out that stated you had to be on a grandgathered NAMOU plan to use minutes. Otherwise they were charging data rates. I went straight to VCAST, which is $15/mo unlimited, so I'm not sure what the results will be with your setup. Better keep the usage light this month just in case

Well I just did the file sharing hack ( change e2 to e3 on seam 2742) and it worked great however now my phone wont act as a modem anymore. Also I installed mpt on my carpc. Any ideas on what the problem with the dialup is?

@selmerguy: seems like you use a motorola, try ##342587 (##DIALUP). The phone should say: "Dial up networking enabled".

I tried that allready. No go

If I remember correctly inetron.com has a list of flags you can enable/disable and dial up networking is one if them. Unfortunately, inetron's website is currently down. Perhaps you could check out that website later?

I got it to work again. I messed with the connection settings and it worked again. Man this phone hacking is tedious, thanks howard forums.

Hate to bring up an old post.. I see that this can be done on a E-815 phone. I was wondering if this still works? And is the ######## Ect. Info still what you need to get this thing going? Thanks

Mine still works, You dont need to hack your phone. Just enable dialup by dialing ##dialup on your phone. Then set it up through bluetooth or cdma.

well, just to let everyone know, if it hasn't been mentioned yet

Verizon changed their plans recently, about a month ago, and unless you have the $60/month data plan, using your EVDO phone as a modem will either

a. give you "invalid username/password" error (i think thats the error) when you try dialing up

or, if that doesn't get you

b. you will be charged per kilobyte, which...adds up in a heartbeat.

so unless you have the $60/month plan, i wouldn't recommend using your phone as a modem anymore,

my e815 worked as a modem for the longest time, before i even had my carputer setup, and i didn't even need it, but now, it gives me the error when dialing in.

It just worked for me no questions asked! hooked right up! Now what about the data plan?

Hi guys, my question is this:

I'm thinking about upgrading from my 1XRTT capable vx6000 to a brand new EV-DO capable Razr from Verizon.

My only concern is that I don't want to get charged for EVDO service (unless I can get it with a $15 Vcast plan, which there's no definitive answer on) so I'd probably like to just continue using my 1XRTT plan that uses my minutes.

My question is: Can I disable EVDO on the Razr so I can continue using 1XRTT using my minutes as I do now? I don't want to get into an EVDO area and suddenly be forced to go broadband at like ridiculous rates. Thoughts?

Also, is it posible to keep my old phone active so I can use it as a modem? basically ties to my sme plan? just a thought cause then I could leave it in the car as a permanent modem, thanks guys

romeov · 04-03-2006, 12:13 AM

Whew, ok.. I jut read about 1,000 pages of forums over at Howardforums and I think I found my answers. Yes, you can indeed disable evdo on the Razr.. as far as adding the second phone, not as much info, but I thin perhaps adding it as a second line for $10 a month would work? still looking

hey does anyone know if it works with the e815 through a motorola data cable and not futuredial cable? thanks

I used mine through the data cable once. I was faster then bluetooth. But not as cool.
