Hi Reggie, Do not use the side slot or PCMCIA adapter with your ambicom card. It is not a good connection for the card. Remember, the card must transmit as well as receive! It needs a good connection so only put it in the back slot. My particular PCMCIA adapter doesn't work with my PCMCIA adapter. Place your ambicom card in the back slot, do a normal reset so your unit will recognize the card in that slot. Make certain you can connect onto the web, then try EMAIL. I think your card isn't getting a good connection with the adapter in side slot or some pins don't correspond properly.
