Verizon claims you can use many of their phones (including the Razr) for broadband access on a laptop. Anyone use this, any feedback? It sounds much more convenient for travel than trying to access various hotel networks. Thanks LT
Verizon Internet Access?

Try alt.cellular.verizon for information. Verizon has some pretty tight restrictions, so that NG may have more comprehensive answers.
We have been doing it for over five years. We travel full-time in our RV.
The simple version: You pay an extra $60/month to use your phone as a "modem" connected to your computer, and Verizon's data network provides connect speeds of 144 kbps to 2 Mbps, depending on your location. In the Lower 48, we have had data service 95% of the time. In Alaska, it is available in quite a few of the populated areas.
