LG Voyager VX-10000
Can the Voyager be used as a TETHERING MODEM, if so how much?
Hi everyone, please omg if someone knows or can help cause customer service is lost and gives me a different answer every time i call. Yes i understand that the phone is not being sold yet, (its out in the stores already but can't sell till next Wednesday 21st, saw it yesterday a friend thats a manager showed me the phone it is sick, iphone WHO? we got a full keyboard lol) but all i want to know is two simple things. Can the voyager be used as a TETHERED Modem to a laptop to access the internet like the PDA's and Blackberry's can and say on their capabilities and how much is the fee? Someone, anyone PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

I would assume $59.99. The same rate as tethering either a PDA or regular cell phone. Also, the same price as an air-card. If only they had Rev-A on this bad boy, we could surf the web and make phone calls at the same time. ;-)

I could be wrong but I don't think that is a function of REV A. To my knowledge REV A is just a faster speed. I believe what you are talking about is called EVDV (Evolution of Data and Voice) which was passed up on by both VZW and Sprint.

Ok ok it sounds like we are getting close to the answer or a step in the right direction. I didn't know what REV A was but thank you for the clarification. What i am talking bout exactly though is using the phone as a modem to connect to a laptop and access the internet u can do it with certain phones as well as all PDA's and Blackberry's. So what i am trying to find out it if u can do it with the VOYAGER now? Let me know if u hear anything

You are right it is not a function of REV A, but rather a bonus. Being as Qualcomm is the only CDMA chipset maker for VZW, my statement has some validity. Here is a quote "along with the new Qualcomm Rev A modems have the ability to maintain both circuit switched voice and packet data calls from the same radio; this functionality is not available in Qualcomm Rev. 0 chipsets."

Ok makes sense but since u need a data plan like a pda or a blackberry for the phone if u want to view full web pages which its capable of doing can it be used as a tethering device like the pda's and blackberrys and if so how much extra cause for pda's and blackberry's its only an extra $15. Let me know if u hear anything. Thanks
...
Well i assummed the same thing but a PDA or a BlackBerry to tether is not $59.99 cause the data plan rates changed. For a PDA or Blackberry if u get the 29.99 data plan its only 15.00 extra to tether the PDA and Blackberry's. On regular phone such as this one or the envy or the others that u can use to tether as a modem the plan yes is 59.99 but since this phone can view full web pages as a PDA or Blackberry is the reason why i want to know if it can tether and how much cause ur obviously gonna need some type of data plan which is fine. But now how much extra for the TETHERING? Let me know if u hear anything
