Can I hook up my verizon lg chocolate phone to my computer and use it as a modem? If so, were do I get the drivers and how do I set it all up. I know it is possible with the verizon razrs.
Thanks for your help.

Well its probly the GSM, so it will go pretty slow and wont be worth it, but you can try and google it if you really need to use a phone as a modem

im trying to do the same thing..well, i havent gotten the cord yet but what i know, is that you have to have an "access plan" ..either, broadband access, national, or global. and they are all 59.99$. and then you have to download "vzaccess" off verizon's website. but im trying to avoid that by making the phone as a secondary modem to connect my isp which would only charge the minutes (so nights and weekends would be free and what not)
you can get a month free of broadband access if you ask a vzw rep. then just call and de activate it when times up. or else it would charge 2$ a day(which equal 60$ a month) so yeah.
i havent read through this site just yet, because the usb cable hasnt came in the mail but it looks helpful:

and i got my usb cable kit from (its the cheapest i could find, and even includes your drivers and software): http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-DATA-CABLE-KIT-for-LG-VX9400-VX8700-VX-9400-VX-8700_W0QQitemZ220121242079QQihZ012QQcategoryZ50327QQcmdZViewItem
hope that helps!
