It seems that Verizon doesn't have the mobile office kit for samsung a530

I wonder if there's already a solution out there for using a530 as a modem
to connect to the internet ?

In my on-line reading/research prior to buying my LG VX4500, I read of
several instances where people were keeping their old tri-mode or
analog phones as backups, in the event of an emergency in a
non-digital service area.  Is this possible without paying a fee for

Anyone ported their landline to a Verizon wireless phone recently? How
long did it take? Did you have any problems? Customer service is
telling me it takes ten days or more for the port and I'm curious if
that is accurate. I'm currently at eight days and waiting. TIA.

I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere, so I'll ask here.
Does anyone know how EMS text messages are charged?  If I send a long
text-only message (>160 characters) is that charged as a text message,
or as a picture message (or somethig else entirely)?

I just accepted delivery on three phones using Verizon's family plan (400
shared minutes national plan). When checking voice mail from the cell phone,
it says that air time charges apply. Fine. But, on the primary line, I have
unlimited IN-Network calling.

I've been reading this group, and others, and looked over the Verizon web

In June 2003, I started experiencing lots of dropped calls on both lines of

Is the v60s able to take a fall? A bit of rough treatment? My job
necessitates toughness....
Thanks.

I have used  a Motorola ST7868W for several years, and it has been an
outstanding performer.  Now, I would like to get a more modern phone.
Thinking of the T730.  Will the ST7868W accessories, like the car
charger and hands-free amplifier plug into the T730?  I really don't

I have recently went from a Sony Ericson T61 phone to a Samsung A310
to a LG VX4400B.  In my house, I could use the T61 with no "Roam"
showing on my screen.  Extended Network showed and was used.
I then upgraded to the Samsung A310.  It was nice, but not color. It

It's been rumored, guessed at and mentioned here, but it looks like
they'll finally drag Ohio VZW customers off of the old OMNI billing

I have the AC400 plan.  If I want to upgrade to the AC500, does that renew
