Verizon Connect Plan old xv6700

[speedygt]

Just got upgraded to the Samsung rogue and had to get verizon's connect plan. Unlimited data, etc. for dumb phones. Has anyone tried to use a xv6700 or xv6800 on this plan. I would love to go back to my xv6700 or build a new xv6800 and use this plan. Would verizon require another data plan because this is a "smart phone"? I had this phone activated on their lowest plan and had the data blocked so they did not kill me with their pay as you go data. So is this phone grandfathered into this plan? That would be an awesome alternative to their other plans. Let me know what you think. I would like to try if anyone think it may work.
