Hi. I'm new here.

Umm, I was just wondering if there was a way of accessing wi-fi internet for free on Verizon's XV6900.

Oh and if so, please try to explain it to me in the easiest possible term for n00bs. lol

The Vogue does not have WiFi. So no there is no way to do this.

Your phone does not have wifi but you can access the internet on your phone. you either need to pay for the service through verizon or you can connect to your pc.

The Touch does not have built in Wifi. There are wifi microsd cards, but I'm not sure if anyone has tested them with the Touch. If you're interested, here's a site that sells them

WEll.. I've been in contact with SpecTec and received my SDW-823 today via fedex.

they told me that their beta tester couldn't get it to work with Vogue however he was using WM5. I have upgraded my phone to WM6.1, installed the spectec wifi card but can't get it to pick up any networks...so maybe i can get it working...

Wait.....Why in the heck would they be using WM5 on a Vogue? It ships with WM6. Also just because its a newer OS doesnt mean the drivers will be more compatible to run it.
Im all for free internet but why dont we just be normal people and use a data plan?

Why spend money if you dont have too? Not everyone has a data package...

The problem is you do have to....Thats the crappy part with Verizon....Im pretty sure the sprint Touch has wifi but Verizon took it out to force you on their package. Bastards lol.

Also these days a data plan is pretty much required.
