yes you can use the 1x backdoor with your 8300, just follow the instructions for putting your phone into '1x Only' mode/network

t/c hobo,
This thread is really about using a cell phone as the connection between a computer and the Internet. Since you are wanting information about air cards, you would be better served with starting a new thread or finding one of the extisting threads that deal with air cards and routers. Here is a list of more than 300 posts that deal with using routers and air cards.

I have a similar problem. I've been using the "back door" method since 2003. I recently purchased a new LG8300, and it kept right on working even though Verizon told me it wouldn't (thanks to Mr. Wizard's detailed instructions).
I just purchased a new Vista computer and tried installing the MOK software. It wouldn't install, said I needed a newer version of Windows (newer than Windows 98). Well, Vista IS newer than 98, duh. I ended up calling Verizon and after 45 minutes on the phone we got the MOK installed. I'm able to "initate" a connection but I get an error message right away and don't get the connection.
The Verizon tech, advised me that I'll have to sign up for Verizon Broadband Service and pay the $59.99 per month fee.
Is that correct or is there something else I can do?

I tried the Broadband/National Access for a few weeks with an aircard,but was unhappy with the speed in marginal signal areas so I discontinued it, reactivated my old phone and went back to 1X.
In ignorance I then purchased a Mobile Office Kit for the 8300 thinking I could reactivate the 8300 and just continue the 1X access. Reading the recent posts it sounds like I won't be able to access 1x back door with the new phone/mobile office kit-----or are some of the earlier posts,,e.g. the very detailed instructions from Mr Wizard relevant to my problem? In short, can I reactivate my 8300, install the Mobile Office Kit, and get 1X free???

actually we are all in trouble...i'm going to post his here and make a new post
AFAIK nov first starts new billing system vzw.. the 1x backdoor and Minutes will be gone.
we will need an active data plan of 'SOME KIND' OR PAY $1.99mb
if you have a Vcast phone 8100 8300 etc razr kzr etcc you should be able the $15 Vcast plan and continue to sneak thru the back door, NO more FREE backdor using minutes
OR you can the $59.99 data plan
as of NOV 1st all data useage on accounts that do NOT have some kind of data plan ( to account for useage ) are going to billed by the mb
this has nothing to do with sending pix msg, or txt msg or using vzw authroize services, the billing is for unaccountedable data going to and from the phone.
to the OP, you need to unistall the MOK, manually install the drivers from the CD and create your own dial up connection on the PC, but this is only good for a few more weeks.
or you can goto the verzion B2B 'buisness' webiste and look for the vista compatible DL music kit, you just need good drivers and a manul connection

The knowlegable tech at Verizon led me to the correct website (vzam.net) which is the VZAccess Manager Webpage. I downloaded and installed the drivers for Vista and my LG8300.
I still can't connect, so I will call Verizon to see about the VCast Plan, or I may just go for the $59.99 data plan. We only use this service three months in the summer when we're on the road. While at home we have DSL.
Thanks again Mr. W.

with the data plan, vzw will help you step by step and make sure it works, also you will be using the same BB evdo high speed network as the aircard and you can use it for 3 months then turn it off until the next time you need it ( because on the phones voice plan it is a FEATURE and does not require a contract, you already have a contract )
verizon will NOT help you if you try to use the Vcast plan with the PC, when talking to them about the Vcast plan do not mention the PC
once this feature is added to your account verify it by using it to get the news and weather on the phone.
then put the phone in 1x mode, and try the PC hook up.
i have already added this to my account, my 1x is still working but it is not yet nov, the connection should work, its the billing i am wondering about.
verizon is not saying the 1x will not work, they are sating we will be billed by the mega byte of data, testing the Vcast is my way to find out if it will slip under the radar for use with out PER MB billing.

I've read some of the posts and I don't think my question has been answered.... Can I connect my laptop via bluetooth to access AT&T dial-up? I have a Sony Ericcson and know I'll need to download the Sony Ericsson Mobile Networking Wizard but will I be charged per kb or just as a voice call?
