Re: USB Modem Cards

Thanks everybody,

We have internet and e-mail access everywhere we stay for any extended period. I want it everywhere we go on a short term basis.

I'm not interested in another wireless contract so I reckon we'll just stay at places that have WiFi or ride around with our laptops until we find a WiFi Hotspot and/or a sign that advertises Free WiFi.

Isn't air free?

Thanks again,

Greg

USB Modem Cards

Mrs. Oldgringo and I were in our RV doing the wildflower thing last week and I sorely missed my internet and e-mail. We were at Lake Somerville SP and the nearest WiFi was 25 miles away.

There was a guy my age in a pop-up who mentioned seeing the weather on the radar and I asked, 'how'd you do that"? He said his daughter got him an AT&T card for about $40 without any contract, etc. and it gives him internet access (sometimes slow) just about anywhere he goes.

Does anyone have any experience with these modem cards which seem to be available from all the major cell phone providers? We have Verizon wireless and I'm not interested in entering into another contract with Verizon or anyone else. There just has to be a way? Any comments and/or suggestions will be appreciated...probably. :mrgreen:

Thanks,

Greg
