Verizon DUN restrictions and known workarounds...
NOTE: there is constant debate over what violates Verizon's terms of service,
and what doesn't, so use this info at your own risk!!!
Creating a Dial-up connection with your phone
as a modem to a traditional
dial-up ISP like AOL, At&t Worldnet, NetZero, Netscape, gets treated like
a VOICE call, and appears to be "legal." However due to CDMA/1x/EVDO
technology limits, you can NOT connect faster than 14.4kbps this way.
Verizon has two High Speed networks
available... Express Network (aka 1xRTT) speeds are up to 144kbps (burstable). They can average
between 60kbps to 90kbps, so its faster than using a traditional dial-up modem.
And BroadBand Access (aka EVDO) provides speeds up to 2Mbps (burstable) with typical speeds in the
area of 400-700kbps (according to Verizon's FAQ )
V710 users have
enjoyed "National Access Minutes of Use" for sometime now. And tethering
to Verizon's Express Network with a V710 has cost nothing more than as if
it were a VOICE call (i.e. using your minutes), while taking advantage of the higher
connection speeds...
NOTE: Most have NOT been billed for this, however there were a few reports of
charges, so again, use at your own Risk!!
To "legally" tether with an EVDO phone to
Verizon's High Speed Data networks (1xRTT
or EVDO), you are
supposed to subscribe to a $60 per month data plan from Verizon. BUT it might be
better to keep that Discussion/debate on this over in -> EVDO Tethering
(Discuss in this Thread Only!)
Below summarizes how to get connections to
Verizon's services working... Air time charges do apply for Americas Choice calling plans, DATA Rates at $2 per MB apply for NationWide calling plans (after Nov 1, 2007).. If you have an
EVDO phone but do NOT
subscribe to the $60 per month data plan, then doing the following violates Verizon's Terms of Service and can result in termination of service and/or additional fees/high
bills!! So USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
IF you DO have the $60 per month BroadBand Access (BBA) data plan, disabling
EVDO or "Forcing to 1X mode" is NOT needed.
For the V710, or those who subscribe to the BBA plan...you
can make use of the info on -> Express Network for your Windows PC
or Express Network for your Pocket PC/Windows Mobile
device. without any hacks/modifications...
For the E815 with 1.17.03 firmware you must first enter/dial ##DIALUP
quickly on the keypad. then setup a dial-up connection with your phone as the
modem either via Bluetooth or USB Data cable... using...
phone number: #777
user name: yourphonenumber@vzw3g.com
password: vzw
see also -> Express Network for your Windows PC or Express Network for your Pocket PC/Windows Mobile device.
Note: you might also have to force your phone to 1x Mode by disabling EVDO,
(link of instructions to disable EVDO are on my HOW TO's page) But I don't have the 1.17.03
firmware on my phone to confirm.
that's it, you're done.
For V3C with Alltel firmware on Verizon's network ##DIALUP is NOT needed!! Just setup a dial-up connection with your phone as the modem either via
Bluetooth or USB Data cable.. using...
phone number: #777

thats it, you're done. Nothing extra needed. From
what I've read, there is no need to disable EVDO.
Ok, those were the easy ones... now, for the fun...

##DIALUP is NOT needed!! BUT you must EITHER 1. 'hack' NVM_Factory
file on the phone and use EVDO or 2. use ONLY PAP authentication while forcing your phone
to 1x by disabling EVDO. (link of instructions to disable EVDO are on my HOW TO's page)
So setup a dial-up connection with your phone as the modem either via Bluetooth
or USB Data cable... using...
phone number: #777
user name: yourphonenumber@vzw3g.com
password: vzw
see also -> Express Network for your Windows PC
or Express Network for your Pocket PC/Windows Mobile
device.
For a Windows PC without having to apply the NVM_Factory file HACK to the
phone... Go to the properties of your dial-up connection icon in windows...
Security Tab. Select "Adavanced (custom settings)" and click the settings
button. Under "allow these protocols" REMOVE the checks for EVERYTHING Except
"Unencrypted password (PAP)" and OK your way out.... FORCE your phone to
1x mode, by disabling EVDO.. (link of instructions to disable EVDO are on my HOW TO's page) Then you can use it.
Mac users must either find/use the SCRIPT (
sorry only link I can find at the moment -> Verizon V3c- BT
DUN on Mac OSX 10.4-Working) which gives only PAP Authentication and force the phone to 1x mode, OR do the NVM_Factory file HACK to your phone... EDIT:
here is the Script Courtesy of MacTavish -> Disable_CHAP_AppleSript_for_RazR_Modem_Hack_1-06.zip
PDA users you must do the NVM_Factory file hack to your phone.
