Because I just spent a long time talking to both Verizon and Dell and
they both said there is no such service as advertised by Dell.

Your link, which is probably correct says you have to have a Verizon
contract and the day pass is IN ADDITION to the monthly fee. Dell
says--Only need to use BroadbandAccess Built-In a few days a month
while traveling?
Then take advantage of Day Pass from Verizon Wireless for $15 a day -
no long-term commitments required.

I am going to yank the broadband card and get a refund.

I really thought that would be a great feature since I really don't
need to take my laptop on the road that often and can't justify a 2
year contract.

Dell offers an option of Verizon broadband no contract day pass
service for its laptops.

It's bogus!! there is no such service. You have to sign up for a 2-
year, $60/month contract. No option for the $15/day day pass as
advertised. I bought a Dell laptop and broadband card just for that
option.

did you follow the link that tom provided and then try to sign up online?
i suspect that dell doesn't get involved (paid) for day-pass customers, so
when you follow the link to the dell site it only offers to sign you up for
the 2 year $59/mo plan. but if you follow the link to 'not registered yet'
on the verizon page it lets you create an account and the decide what server
you want to purchase. never heard of this day pass thing before and think
that it is a very interesting product.
