Question

For example: I have Sprint as my cell phone provider. If I want to get a wireless internet card for my computer would I have to go through Sprint or could I go through any cellular company.

Answer 1

any.... but make sure that your phone is compatible. For instance, Verizon, you can use any brand. Try ebay for the best deals..

Answer 2

Telephone landlines are quickly becoming a thing of the past for most home users. You no longer need to use a landline to connect to the Internet because there are several other ways to access the Web. Although some Internet service providers still offer Internet access via a phone-line connection, other ISPs have discontinued this service due to the high number of home residents without a landline. Follow these steps to get internet without phone line or cable 1.Power on your computer and turn on the wireless feature. If there is a wireless signal near your computer that does not require a password, you will be able to access the Internet. You can also order wireless Internet service from your local cable company or other Internet service provider. 2.Order satellite Internet connections from your local satellite provider. This Internet connection will work just like your satellite television connection; however, you may experience a loss of signal during storms or other bad weather. 3.Power on your cell phone and select the Web browser feature. Most cell phones produced today and for the past several years are Internet-ready and capable of connecting to the Web quickly. If you do not have the Internet service on your cell phone plan, contact your phone company to upgrade and activate this feature. 4.Use cable Internet, a service that can be ordered through most cable providers. The Internet signal will run through a cable hook up to your home, and will require a modem (usually supplied by the cable company) to connect the cable to your computer in order to access the Internet.

Answer 3

No, no! If I understand you correctly, you want to be able to connect your computer to the internet, wirelessly. That kind of wireless is a different kind of wireless from cell phones, and I don't think you can even get a card like that from the cell phone companies. You can go to Best Buy and get any wireless card they have there--Belkin and Linksys are some popular brands. Just ask the salespeople if you need any help. Hope this answered your question!:)
