Bill, first of all, I hate to hear about all the data charge woes . . . Many thousands of $$$?????? Ouch! I know nothing about Verizon phones, but I would think that unless you have activated something to tell it to log on at mid-night, that wouldn't be where the charges are coming from . .
I would be interested in a follow up however to let us know how this all shakes out! Please let us know if Verizon makes it right, or any other issues you have . .
Good Luck!

I purchased Verizon EVDO, and used my 700W for 2 months and then in August I got a huge Bill for multiple thousands of dollars for Data Usage and I am in a current battle with Verizon, I paid my regular usage and disputed the Data usage and they agreed to turn my phone back on but never did and I have been 5 days without 2 Phones. They also agreed to cancel the Data usage Bill but I musy buy the Data Usage plan which i agreed to do but they have never called me back to confrim all this.
I don't know what triggered the use of EVDO, but I used a wireless card and this may have caused EVDO to run and I may have been getting data from both sites and thought it was all transmitted to/from wireless.
I have also read theat a Treo can automatically connect to the internet avery night at midnight and that would definitely use EVDO and result in unreasonable billing.
A real mess and this tells me something about Verizon.
