This is specifically for LG VX7000/8000 users, but will work for others if you can find out how to get into your phone's Service menu...

Go to this website and pick any IP that has port 8080 (Verizon uses 8080, you can find this out in your phone's service menu)

http://www.publicproxyservers.com ( I use 66.174.3.7 )


Enter the following information:
Press Menu, 0, 000000, go to WAP
Set these as follows:
Primary IP: 66.174.3.7
Primary Port: 8080
Secondary IP: 66.174.3.7
Secondary Port: 8080
Homepage: http://wap.google.com (or whayever)

Thats it, your good to go - Paying $5.00/month seems silly, you are only paying to connect to Verizon's servers - butas you can see, their are free servers out there

***I do not know if this affects warrantees and whatnot, do this at your own risk

 

but realize that even when u are connected to a different server you are still using your miuntes to be connected

also you can set your own wap server like i did at home and do the same thing an never have to worry about it going down

 

I thought Verizon blocked free WAP usage???

I'll have to try these settings on my LG4400.

 

i've been using free wap for over a year now

i have the server running at home and it works very nicely, especially since only me and my fiance use it
