You are absolutely correct: Your cell phone is not a modem. It doesn't modulate
and demodulate. The term "modem" has come refer to any device that allows your
computer to connect to the Internet, the way a modem does with analog phone
lines.
You don't need to use Verizon software "to dial #777", though. You can do that
simply by using the "create a dial-up connection" wizard in Windows. The User
Name is "yourphonenumber@vzw.com". For example 2135551212@vzw.com
The password is vzw.
Cradlepoint routers offer native support for various cell phones. For example,
I can plug my old LG VX8350 phone into my Cradlepoint 350 router and it will
recognize it and use it to connect to the Internet. If you search the 3G Store
web site, you can find lists of which routers support which phones. Try this

If you still have the America's Choice voice plan, you MAY be able to you your
phone as a "modem" and only be charged for minutes of use, as if your connect
time were voice calls. It depends on your phone and whether Verizon has
disabled it on your account. If you can, you can either plug the phone directly
into your computer or into a Cradlepoint router (if the router supports that
particular phone). In the former case, you don't need to use VZAM. In the
latter case you can't use VZAM; the router does it for you.
In response to an earlier question, you need to disable DHCP on the router you
are using because you need the DHCP server on your Windows computer, not the one
on your router, to assign IP addresses. If both assign addresses, you will get
conflicts on your network.

Could I connect it to the cradlepoint router via USB and manually dial #777 and get it to work? Or would it be possible to use the router and still be able to use the VZAM software to dial the phone? I don't think I can keep my Verizon Americas' Choice plan if I get a cellular modem.
