switching between phones?


Via the NE2 program, I moved from a V60i to a VX4500. (although I enviously
eye that screen on the Samsung a670.. but that's another story).

I was somewhat dismayed to learn that the VX4500 is digital only. If I
carry my V60i with me and find myself in an analog only area, is it just a
simple matter of going to the VZW website and resetting the ESN to the
V60i to quickly enable that phone? (assuming I have internet access). Or is
there more to the process than that?

Yes. However, you won't be able to use the *228 activation if you are
unable to get a VZW digital signal. You should be sure that you keep a
somewhat up to date VZW PRL on the phone to ensure maximum coverage.

If you don't have Internet access and you need to switch phones, you can
call VZW from a land line to switch the ESN over the phone. There may be
a fee for switching over the phone.
