After some double checking I found out the $29.99 is for unlimited data to
the phone itself. If you want to use your phone for broadband access to a
laptop with a 5G cap then you add another $59.99.

That means I'd be paying $50 more a month if I were on Verizon and I
wouldn't even have Bluetooth PAN with a Verizon phone.

Not only would I *not* have Bluetooth PAN but I'd have to use a program that
you download from http://vzam.net if I wanted intenet on my laptop.

No thanks.
