Thread: How to use your VERIZON cell for FREE internet

I have been using bluetooth dialup with my Verizon phones for about 3 years now. There are a few apps that you can pay for to get it working but I suggest to first google for ICS or Internet Sharing application. This can be found on xda-developers website. The problem is Windows Mobile includes this app but Verizon removed it. I just downloaded and reinstalled the .cab.

I use my bluetooth dialup with my eeepc (linux) and I have an HTC Vogue (xv6900) with WM6.1. I started using the bluetooth dialup with a Samsung i730. It also works using the USB cable. I used to pay for Verizons Broadband service until I found that I get the same speeds and that I don't need to pay for service for internet sharing. I do however have the unlimited data plan which will prevent you from paying a whooole lot due to data usage. That can rack up real quick. But the unlimited plan is still cheaper than paying for the tethering service.

I use my Verizon XV6800 with WMWifiRouter program to broadcast the data connection over the wifi to my pc. I also have the unlimited data plan, but watch out - its not actually unlimited... in the terms they tell you you cant do certain things like constant streaming and stuff, and my friend got a Verizon rep to admit over the phone that at a certain point (i think around 1gb) that they will start to charge you if it happens consistently.

Yeah I suppose they would do that but I'm sure they may be referring to 1GB being transferred in a single session because I can tell you that I have used weeeellll over 1 GB in a months time. Then again I find it crazy for anyone to do data transfering of 1 gig over celluar data line. I think the most I have done in a single session was about 7 MB.

Did all this and used QPST, now for some reason when I make a phone call it tells me I'm roaming...I can't send texts, did I void my warranty? What happened?

Is it a windows mobile phone?

hey will this work on my lg dare verizon phone? I have the data cable how would i add the phone to be the modem??

Yea curious as well I have th enV Touch. There seems to be some confusion running around this thread still about if it charged minutes or data. Some say minutes and some people say they don't see a #777 call on their bill so it must be data. Can someone clear this up for me.

i just did this and tried using browser and it gave me that message that you have to pay $50 or something... is there a way around this?

you will have to change the default browser from the phone. After that it will work with the cable.
