If you are at all geekish, there is no need to buy software. Here is what
one guy reported from this web site:
http://www.aplawrence.com/Reviews/bgcellphoneaccess.html
"After reading your cellphone Internet article, I decided to give my phone a
try, for which I purchased Verizon's Mobile Office kit, some time ago. At
the time (it must be at least 1-1/2 years ago) the Internet access was
horrible. Many dropped connections, and very, very slow. Since then, I have
upgraded my phone, but currently there is no "Mobile Office Kit" for my new
LG VX-4400 phone. I was a little frustrated, but my local radio shack had a
USB data cable for the phone for $19.99. The software which was separate
from the phone, was $39.99. Being adventourous, I decided to only purchase
the cable, and use Win2K's built in DUN software to try and connect. After
installing the USB drivers (separate download from www.futuredial.com), and
creating a DUN connection to Verizon's "Express Network", I was up and
running. No extra $39.99 needed. I'm not sure what the software does, but
I'm guessing it's probably a bunch of "wizards" to help the more technology
challenged folks. That's fine. I spend a lot of time on the computer, and I
owe it to myself to bypass extra charges here and there, for the time I
spend on the PC."
