I thought the same thing. I phoned my phone carrier and they said it would not cost more as long as your bn did not go over the data you have in your plan. I am not sure if all carriers are the same. You may want to contact your carrier and ask them if using hotspot is more costly then just using the internet from your phone.

Hi,
Well, that's a thought.  Isn't the hot spot expensive, though?

You could leave your scanner hooked up to your apex and use the hotspot on
the phone so your apex would have internet in the store.

Hi,
I'd like to know if you can use Digit-Eyes with an external bar code scanner. I recently bought the QuantumT MS3580 USB bar code scanner for around $160 and am currently using it with my BrailleNote Apex BT32 and a
service called BC Scan, which can be found at

www.bcscan.com

The scanner, BrailleNote Apex and the BC Scan service work great for scanning bar codes, but you have to have a live Internet connection going to use this service. That may not be practical in a grocery store
setting, for example, where I may not have access to Wi-Fi.

So, I'd like to get a USB adaptor to hook this scanner up to my iPhone and try it out with Digit-Eyes or other bar code scanning apps and my iPhone 4
and maybe even try BC scan over 3G using Safari.  .

Just to clarify a bit, even though I mentioned the QuantumT, the actual manufacturer of the MS3580 scanner may be either Honeywell or Metrologic.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks.

Tom
