It's not unlimited. If you read the fine print on the agreement you'll see that Verizon caps usage at 5GB per billing cycle. Most carriers do this.

What people don't know about air cards is the data usage is very low for what you pay for. Whereas the BB is unlimited.

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. http://vzw.smithmicro.com/download/supported.aspx Diane Reardon - * 616.863.4800 Information Technology HC-1-39 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [cid:[email protected]]<http://www.wolverineworldwide.com/>PPlease consider the environment before printing this email.

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
