Getting a new phone from Verizon automatically changes your plan, so if you aren't paying
for the $50/month broadband access service, you just lost your data access. If it has been
less than 30 days, you can return your phone and revert to the terms of your old contract
(and purchase a non-EVDO phone from some outside source and get it setup for Verizon).
(but somebody on this group is also bound to suggest that you can hack your W385 to
shutoff EVDO - which usually starts some big discussion about the legallity/ethics of said
hack)
