I just talked to VZW on the phone & they said the Mobile Office is $19.97 AND
you have to pay a $30/month internet fee also.
If you get one of their PC Cards, you have to add unlimited service for $59.95.
I'm interested in using my laptop when I'm out of town as well. So what other
options would there be. I searched the archives for Wayne's messages but
couldn't find enough info about other options. Also VZW doesn't seem to have
anything on their webpage about the "Express Network". What is that??
Thanks!
