Re: CELL PHONE INTERNET ACCESS
Be careful of the fine print -- Verizon has a very good voice network and the data specs are definatly better/faster than the others. But, the data services are normally only available if you're on their system. Just because they have voice coverage in a particular area doesn't mean they have data. They have agreements with several other providers for their voice service, but don't necessarily share data with those same partners.542Views0likes0CommentsRe: CELL PHONE INTERNET ACCESS

I have a Toshiba laptop, XP Home. Just got it going. Works OK through Compuserve, my ISP. Susteen's tech people talked me through setup. I'm using it just to test, until I see how much it's going to cost. It's gonna cost a whole lot !!! If you're using GPRS at 2 cents per page, this page alone at approx 50k just cost you a dollar to load one time (and there really aren't even any graphics on this page). I suppose if your using CSD you are only using minutes, but you may want to verify your phone setup to be sure. If you're gonna use your computer you almost have to go to the unlimited plan. Otherwise it will cost you a small fortune. I've heard horror stories with people getting bills in excess of 2000 dollars. Be careful...542Views0likes0Comments
