Answer 1

This is very expensive. Verizon, Cingular and Sprint offer these PC cards. They will cost $50 with a 2-year agreement. If you want to do it without a contract, then it will be $200 for the PC Card. As for the plans, for unlimited data, it is about $80 - $100. I don't think the limited data is worth it, unless you do not plan to use it much.

In addition, recently in press release, Cingular is getting UMTS (3.5G technology) set-up by January 2007. You will be able to get 3.5Mbps speed from GTOption's PC Card.

Answer 2

i had sprint service before. make sure you have simple web capabilities on your phone. go to ebay and purchase a usb data cable that fits your phone. they usually also have the software to download the drivers and software to your computer. connect the phone and change the settings on your computer to use the new modem (your cell phone) and the software should do the rest.

Answer 3

a million purchase a cable to connect your telephone on your workstation. at the same time as you're able to try this via way of bluetooth (and your workstation can even have bluetooth already) the speeds are gradual adequate to go away maximum persons groaning. LG ought to sell a cable which could plug into your workstation's USB port. 2 call Verizon, and purchase an information plan. Ask in case you could start with an infinite records plan, and in case you could swap or drop the plan in case you desire to. It sounds like they provide an infinite records plan for $15 a month, it quite is exceedingly candy, infinite records via way of cellular telephones was once costly (yet overages are so lots extra costly, it quite is why you would be wanting to verify how lots you employ it in the previous you get a constrained plan).
