Re: CELL PHONE INTERNET ACCESS
NASAGuy: I found exactly the same situation as you did with Cingular. I also have Cingular Nation as I found it has the most extensive coverage in my travel areas. I have become quite discouraged with the cell phone internet connection scenario as the providers do not seem to be able to consistently answer questions nor do they provide accurate coverage information. Cingular informed me that service will only be available in metro coverage areas (IF they permit it and don't re-priortize usage; they apparently reserve the right to make it unavailable without notice or apology)and the only plan that controls cost is $80/month on a yearly subscription basis to avoid the horrific per kb charges. Since the price is high and there is no certainty of availability in non-metro areas (Geez, I can catch free wifi in metro areas!) I am unhappily not wired on the road. My husband and I go through the motions at least yearly of rechecking all the providers to see if anyone has a flexible, affordable internet plan with reasonable coverage. We keep hoping...460Views0likes0Comments
