The BB Storm has a special VZ Access Manager program. But it does work. Our costs with VZW is $15/month for Broadband Access, but still significantly cheaper than an AirCard. AirCards are a big waste of money.

Install BB Desktop Manager (Required for the drivers) and create a Dial-Up Network connection through the Windows Wizard.

When we purchased them we were under the impression that we could tether them to our PC and use the Internet. We have Verizon. I can't seem to get the VZ Manager software to detect the phones. I talked to Verizon Tech Support and they said the phone firmware version 5.0 doesn't work. Does anyone know a work around? Clark
