To get one you will have to sign up for a contract for a year or two, probably two I think. ----- Original Message ----- From: Evan Brastow To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Friday, March 14, 2008 12:31 PM Subject: RE: Dumb wireless question
I figured that might be the case. I suppose if they stopped at a Verizon store, they could pick up the card and order service and it would be active for next week, though. I'm looking at Verizon's site and see a whole bunch of USB and PCMCIA cards that range in price from $30 to $150. Now I just have to figure out what the differences are :) Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

But you need to pay for the unit and pay a monthly charge. A little late now though. >>> "Evan Brastow" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 3/14/2008 12:16 PM >>> Hi guys, Forgive this type of question, but as I have no mobile users that aren't just connecting through VPN out of their house, I'm not sure what the latest options are out there. One of our guys is vacationing in Florida next week at The Villages. He's staying at his dad's house, who's not there now. His dad has no active cable connection there (or phone.) His son has a Mac notebook, his wife has a PC notebook. What I'm wondering about is, what's the best way for them to get Internet access through their notebooks? They have Verizon cell phone service. I'm thinking there must be something like an EV-DO USB key or something that they could use? I'm out of date! :) Thanks, Evan ___________________________ Evan A.
