Go to howardforums.com and do a search in the Verizon forum. It has a

Ask them to add Get it now capability. (say nothing about NA!) Even if your
phone doesn't support it, tell them you switch ESN's and use others and need
it on the account.

Well, it was worth a try, it is a way for someone that doesn't have it at
all to get it, worked for my partner at work Wonder if it has anything to
do with an older phone? Does your account thing at (phone number)@vzw3g.com
work?

Seems if you are dialing #777, and logging into the vzw3g thing, then it
almost has to be something screwed up at your end (drivers software etc)

If you didn't have the option to do it, you wouldn't be able to log onto the
3g website. Has to be in the settings at your end.

Any chance something reset your drivers or settings (on your computer)?

Seems to me if it is slow no matter what phone you use, that pretty much
says it's the stuff on the computer itself.

Did you change the max connection speed on the standard driver? What about
the setup strings? It defaults to 19.200. Sounds like maybe you are
connecting to the high speed stuff, but your driver limits the max speed. As
for the setup strings, once you send the speeds for low speed (to the phone)
most models will stay in low speed, no matter what, until you send the setup
string for high speed. (then it will stay in high speed no matter what until
you send the strings for low speed!)

I do the same on mine (no extra software), and have DUN set to a max of
19200 for low speed and 230,000 for the Express/NA/1X, and different setup
strings for low or high speed.

Depending on the phone, there are also AT commands sent to the phone (that
stay forever until new strings are sent or a new phone is used), for MY
phone (they are not always the same for all phones), these work...
