yes
to the idiot below who probably gave me a thumbs down. yes it will work just fine. what matters is where you get to log on-at home you log on to your sprint or at and t..or whatever..account..that has nothing to do with your card.. if its at the dorm in school then its either a free net connection or you'll be given a password to the network once you get there or are enrolled.
don't ever give a tech person a thumbs down unless you know better than him..and its obvious you don't.
cards aren't limited by which area they are limited by avaliblity to access the surrounding networks.
meaning...you either have a password or you don't.
the card works like an antenna to pick up signals. nothing more. it has no connection to a PROVIDER
you could take it to the moon and if someone on the moon had a wireless connect that wasn't protected by a pass word (and many aren't)..youd be able to get in.

I have a Sprint PCS internet card and it worked fine while I was out of state on vacation. The only concern I had was whether or not i would be charged roaming fees but I was informed by Sprint that they didn't apply. I would say that it should work fine in New York. They should have a good coverage area there as in California. :) takecare

It depends.
If your Internet card service provider offers the service in new york. If not, then its impossible for you to use them.
To the asker: I'm sorry I immediately assumed that internet card = dial-up internet card and not wireless internet card (adapter) that you mean.
To the person above who obviously thinks too highly of himself that he can call other people idiot. thank you for the kind and very "mature" comment.
