Hello,
I have verizon and use a LG V phone, both for talking and then cable hookup to my laptop and also
travel out of the country too.
It's much cheaper and the coverage is better than sprint.
I feel that Sprint does not have the best customer support. I used to have a YISO pc card,
which I used to connect to my PDA and my laptop.
The speed was fine but the connection was horrible, at least up in pinetop or showlow arizona.
I had my 14.4 cable hookup to my verizon and laptop to do my work.
I travel through out arizona.
I have to say that if your phone ever breaks or have serice problems, verizon gives you another
phone right away and fixes everything right away.
Sprint, they did not know what a YISO phone was, pc card that splits into a compact flash card
that runs off of your pda or pc card that runs off of your laptop.
At the same time, you may get voice mail and also talk on your phone when not on the internet.
The card no longer exists as of JUNE 2005. Tech support was available but only in the UK.
