I think what is being referred to here is an air card or at least what AT&T
calls theirs. I tried the AT&T aircard back a few years ago and it was not
accessible at all. The reason I say it was not accessible at all is because
when I had it you had to plug in the air card then you had to find a connect
button for the air card to allow you to connect to the internet; the connect
button was not accessible. I spoke to many people with AT&T even their
disability department before I decided to return the device which felt much
like a flash drive. If I remember correctly AT&T had a thirty day trial
period. The trial period gave me ample time to determine whether it was
something I was going to be able to use or not. Keep in mind this was a few
years ago and by now I would hope they have improved accessibility, but who
knows.

Hi Michael.
If you have a smart phone like the iPhone or an android phone you can use
that.
Otherwise most of the big wireless carriers have usb motems which lets
your
computer use there data at three g speeds.
I have used one of these from verizen and t-moble.
The software you install from verizen is farely accessible but the t-moble
software is not in my opinion although I could use it when I got use to
it.
I have no experience with sprint or at&t.
Hopes this helps.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Accessing the internet while on the road
Hello Listers, I am going to be going away for a week. During that time
I
want to have access to the internet. Is there a device that I can buy
that
will give me access to the internet while on the road and at my
destination?
Such as a wifi hotspot. Or some thing like that. How does that work?
Running windows 7 and jaws 11.
Thanks
Michael
