Help with 3G data cards for laptop please - don't understand!?
What price should I expect to pay and can you recommend any (preferably online, as long as it's cheap) stores to get it from?
Any info would be useful please as I'm really confused!
Answers:
There is WIFI which is the 802.11 signal that reaches about as far as a cordless phone which you can pickup a signal in many places including coffee shops and nearly all metro areas. (free)
The connection type you are talking about uses cellphone towers and would require a service contract much like a cell phone ...say $70-150 a month i think. I heard Verison is the best in the US for 3g coverage.
They use the mobile networks because that's who provides the laptop internet while traveling.
I've used Vodafones and it's very fast! I think we pay £15 a month for it.
yep, as you've noticed, phone companies lock their data cards like their telephones.
I'd look for an unlocked card on ebay.
I can't comment on who's service is best, i have sprint and hate it.
