<title>Any differences in prepaid vs contract coverage?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23409833</link>
<description><![CDATA[I had VZW service under contract for about 3 years with the same phone, the last year in the same house too.

I swapped to AT&T for the iPhone in July.

Recently I decided to activate my old VZW phone on prepaid service so I can call between a couple of relatives w/o using up my or their minutes.

In my house I used to have 3-4 bars, now it's only 1-2... It was never this weak at home, so I'm wondering, does VZW maybe have a more restricted set of towers for prepaid vs contract users?  I would think no, but figured I'd ask.

My gf still has Vz and her phone does have 3-4 bars, but since it's a diff make/model phone that's not really an acurate comparison. ]]></description>

<title>What is National Access vs VZAccess?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23409472</link>
<description><![CDATA[  I just received my Verizon Wireless bill with a $120 in overage charges for data.  Even though I checked my internet usage everyday and stop using the connection, except to check usage, when it suddenly jumped to show 5034 "as of 11-22".  Usage checks on the 23rd, 24th & 25th all showed usage of 5034.  My service resets on the 24th.  
A call to Verizon Wireless was just frustrating. 
After I got off the phone, I summed up the usage from the log button next to the Usage button.  This log sum matches the usage they are billing.  The difference between the Usage button and the Log seems to be connections made by National Access - Broadband Access as opposed to the majority of the connections that were made by VZAccess.  While the VZAccess connections list an IP address, the National Access connections do not.  The National Access connections do list a phone number, #777, while the VZAccess connections do not list a phone number.  And several, maybe the majority, of the National Access connections were made at the same time as the VZAccess connections.  These VZAccess connections summed up to over 500MB.  What are they?  How do they differ from my VZAccess connections?  And how can I be charged twice for using the connection at exactly the same time? ]]></description>

<title>$59.99 plus what?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23403028</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am trying out the Verizon usb760 - way better than the franklin..so how much would the $59.99 bill really be with taxes.

I called verizon and they said +9-12 bucks but they could not tell me for sure since I have not had a bill yet (30 days to cancel). What is the average in Michigan? ]]></description>

<title>[General] WARNING!!</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23405839</link>
<description><![CDATA[Ok  there is a new group of hackers that have got numerous ESN and Phone numbers for use in cloning.  If you have a Data Card and they clone your information, they can make calls anywhere.  This has happened to me.  I have 3 data cards from Alltel.

Must do.  Make sure your card is compatible with VZAccess Manager.   If you use the QLM or router this fix will not work.  This only works with VZaccess.  

Call Verizon and have them place a outgoing call block.  This will block your ESN and number from making any calls therefore blocking a shock when you get a 1000.00 bill.  You must only use VZAccess to connect since it uses a different method then the #777 to connect.  I am still trying to get info on it for use with other software.

This can happen to you.  Cloning is getting done more and more everyday.  Your data card is still a phone number and can still be cloned.  Make sure you add the text messaging block also btw.  

I got a 1000 Bill for calls to Jaimaica, originating from Miama, FL,  I live in Missouri. lol.]]></description>

<title>[ Equipment] Need help and fast please.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23361876</link>
<description><![CDATA[Well i have recently gotton the Verizon mobile internet. Like many stories because I'm in the middle of no where I can't get anything (Yes I have checked EVERYTHING available). This is my last resort and so far everything is going very badly. I started with getting the little black usb connecter 720 I think. Well I also order a 20$ antenna. Well I hooked it up with out the antenna because I had to wait for the antenna to come in. I got not even a bar but a signal that was a little faster then my Wildblue lag wise. 

On WoW I had 800-1000 ms as opposed to my 1500-2000 usal. Well the antenna came and it had no adapter to hook it up with. Well I went to the store and I figured while I had to order the adapter for the antenna I might as well fork out and get the more expensive usb thinking it might be better and order the adapter as well. 

I got it today hooked it all up. I can no longer get any kind of connection. So not only does the antenna not work the new usb is worse. I don't have much longer before my 30 days are over and i'm stuck in the contract. I looked at my coverage and I have advance services and about 3-5 miles from 3g coverage in a few directions. So please if you guys can help me out. Let me know if you think if I were to fork out for whatever antenna you guys recommend (can't be a very expensive one either) if it would make it so I could play Xbox live and on PSN and WoW with close to 150 that of cable. ORRRRR if it's just hopeless and no way to get it to work. I need to know quickly as well. Thanks everyone ^.^]]></description>

<title>[General] NEWBIE: Stock Trading &#x26;amp; Broadband - Will I Hit The 5 G</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23400297</link>
<description><![CDATA[Newbie Question:

I am considering a Broadband modem - probably from Verizon with the max (5 gig) cap.  

Here is my question:  I daytrade all day during market hours and have no way of knowing how much data I am passing each day.  I keep screens up from my brokerage as well as charts and research sites.

I would like to know if anyone reading this is daytrading with a broadband modem, how reliable they have been (obviously you dont want a drop out right in the middle of a trade), and if you are constantly bumping the 5 gig limit.

Obviously, I would not be using this modem full time - probably about 1-2 weeks per month when I travel.  I am tired of having to find a Starbucks, etc. when I am on the road in order to trade.

Thank You.]]></description>

<title>[General] Cloned? or Not</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23399312</link>
<description><![CDATA[Well after the switch to Verizon to Alltel, my second bill came it was $1340.00 for my wireless internet card.  You shocked?  Well I was outta town and my wife told me the internet card wont work anymore,  I came home 3 days later and investigated.

Well my bill generated and had hundreds of calls to Jamaica.  On my wireless card.  I saw my bill and almost died, since data usage was only 4GB.  I looked at the call detail and yep calls.  I then looked at current usage and there was 97 pages of calls there, that bills gonna be in the tens of thousands.  I immediately called Verizon.  And said how the heck am I gonna make phone calls on a UM175 data card?  He told me the service was suspended.  I asked more and after thousands of dollars later they suspended it.  

Well according to them it was cloned, all the calls originated from Miami, FL.  

They stated that they can remove the charges , but cannot reactivate the card, due to cloning.  I would need to reorder a new card and activate a plan, they will waive the temination fee.  I asked will it still be unlimited? Nope 5GB.  I said how the heck do you call from a data card????

I believe its a way to kill the unlimited users.  I am disappointed and pissed off.  I was never in Miami and the darn card has been plugged into the router for over 8 months. So how did my ESN and Number become available?  1 month after the transition?  

Its is cloning? or is it just Corporate Manuevers to kill the ALLTEL contracts.]]></description>
