How do I connect a Verizon Note 3 without Verizon's software?

[dogorman]

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and I am a Page Plus customer. Each time I try to connect my Note 3 to a PC, I get a message on the phone that says I won't be able to complete that operation without installing some proprietary software from Verizon -- which I can't do, because I don't have a Verizon account. Does anyone have a workaround for this?
