[Discuss] CELL PHONE MODEM: CDMA access code hijacked by verizon: involuntary dial code insert

[Bouman MC]

Welcome back ...to the trials and trivialities of Verizon in it's venture
to suck the last dollar, dime and drop of blood from us all. When last we
heard, I was attempting to install a generic USB driver for an old
blackberry...not a bad idea since the BB's now retail for $10.00 and they
have limited use anyway. After some aggravation, I got this up and running
as a MODEM perfectly...for a few days...until suddenly the CDMA access code
was hijacked with a new dial code inserted. I like using Canadian equipment
because the C's steal a lot less then those in the US...and I plan to
continue to use this vintage cell phone because it worked perfectly as a
modem, but now? the laptop doesn't even recognize it as a modem and I can't
"dial" out. I like vintage because it gets hacked less...so let's skip the
scoffing. Somebody, anybody: help!  MCBouman
