I should have mentioned - I don't use Verizon email, and I do dial into my
typical ISP.  LOng distance, too - of course that doesn't matter with the
cellphone since on their plan you can call anywhere.    It's worked fine
anywhere.  You'll have to pay for an ISP anyway, email's not included in
your cellphone service, so no need to get verizon.  It is faster with their
digital service, but I'm willing to put up with that.  I haven't had trouble
uploading to my website, including photos- but I don't download large PDFs
from the web with it, that would be too tedious.
