these settings affect only 2 things, staying off the EVDO network and making your internet connection
if you are using the mobile web, and need the EVDO, you only have to go back to service menu on the phone and reset the network select to the 'first setting' on the list, digital hybrid mode
the DUN enable and PC settings need NOT be reset, but the same menus used to set them can be used to change them back
although some users have said that doing a calling #228 and choosing option 1 , program phone, has reset their sets to default, but i belive that varies from one phone model to the next
I can explain it to you.
But I Can Not understand it for you !

I just got new phones LG5300 which are 1X and tried the Internet hook up and it worked so for no data charge on my phone will have to wait for next bill to be sure. I am using the bluetooth to connect my phone and laptop.

Glad most of you had good luck--I didn't!--I bought a kit from alltel
to hook up to my cell phone--got into Texas with no luck getting onthe web--my friend bought a card from e-bay and got all kinds of web access---
Alltel refunded with no hassle and I purchased a card(e-bay) that will access the IN through altell for 65$--they charge 25$ and can be put on hold anytime.--(beat their program for a 2 year contract)
my e-mail is [email protected] if you need any more info

I would take that to mean that , altel does NOT have 'data connection roaming " agreements regarding cellphones, but does for aircards, or even that their aircard service is just rebranded VZW,

We also use Verizon to dial up the Internet while traveling. It is slow but better than nothing. We bought the cable and a phone that can be used as a modem hooked to the laptop. We did not have to buy a larger plan but we aren't on the most basic plan either. One must certainly make sure you are not roaming and have good strong signal before connecting. We were not able to get the software and found out after talking to a Verizon cust. ser. rep. on the phone we did not need it. He helped us create the connection. We use MSN Explorer to collect our hotmail account and do our web searches. It all works very well.
The newest deal Verizon and other companies have with true high speed available only in certain areas is faster but much more expensive. The only cost we have with Verizon is the phone service and the cost of the phone & cable.
If you add a WiFi card you will increase your speed when in an area where you can find the signal.

I have carefully read ALL of this thread and followed many posts on the Yahoo Group InternetByCellphone.
I have a desktop running Windows XP Home Edition and, mostly as a test, have tried to set up my verizon lg vx3300 for the 1xrtt nrtwork using the drivers found on the following commercial site
http://www.cellphonemall.net/wireless/store/accessorydetail.asp?id=43904&phoneid=626
To avoid waiting on a mail order, I bought - and returned - a cable from radio shack that proved incompatible with the vx3300.
If I thought I would be successful, I would venture to order the cable pictured in the link above. But even if it does work on my XP desktop, I still wonder what good it will be since I will soon be in the market for a laptop for the RV, and the new laptops run Windows Vista.
My concern here is that people on this thread and the yahoo group have reported 1xrtt setup software incompatibility with XP Media Center Edition, which makes me even more concerned that the drivers and cable may not work at all on Windows Vista.
Any advice is appreciated.

it more of a MFG & issue than a windows Vista issue, the reports on HOFO verizon forums are mixed, some plug in the phone windows recognizes it and loads the drivers, others have trouble getting the PC to talk to phone
this is more to do with the ON BOARD USB hardware & the drivers of this hardware and the PC bios , being up to speed with Vista's requirements
buy your cable from Verizon ( yeah it cost more a whole $39 ) but the cable and the drivers will be correct, MOK or MEK doesn't make any difference for our useage, one comes with dialer software on doesnt't, NOT important, they both come with the correct cable & drivers to make nice with windows
then take your phone with you when shop for a VISTA laptop.
plug the cabled phone into the laptop and see what windows does ?

I helped my sister get setup to connect to the 'net with her Verizon cellphone (Audiovox 8910) attached to her new laptop that is running Vista. I wasn't quite sure whether the drivers that came with the cable would work with Vista but they loaded fine and we were able to connect to the Verizon network.
I personally avoid using the Verizon cables unless there is no alternative since they are more expensive and don't charge the phone thru the USB.

yes but the last 3 new phones I have gotten, the cable from the MEK kit has a connection socket in the cable line for connecting the charger so the charger plugs into this socket just like it would on the phone and the phone is charged will in use, i leave these cables permanently connected together and every time i plug the phone in , its getting charged, this seems to be a standard thing now
its this way on the lg8100,8300,8500,8600,9900,and the samsung u740
