Cellular Broadband
« on: July 29, 2007, 09:33:13 pm »
So I've got a cellular phone plan with the old AT&T that Cingular would charge me an arm and a leg for if I modify it now.

I want to add a data plan, but like I mentioned, Cingular would charge me an arm and a leg to modify it.

Does anyone know of any reasonably priced cellular broadband plans that I can use with an old cell phone (and will probably connect to my Z for any significant usage)?   I'll need someone to offer just the cellular broadband and not the cellular telephone portion as I'm going to keep my old AT&T plan.

Any ideas?

Maybe there exists some plan where I can use a CF i/o card with my Z!

Planex gw-cf11x CF Wi-Fi, Buffalo CF LAN
UT-41 USB GPS
Misc other SD and CF cards

That's sweet.  Another thing I don't want to happen is get sucked into a 2 yr contract and find out the service sucks.

I've been checking around the major players i.e. Cingular, T-Mobile, Verizon and they're all relatively priced the same.

I'm looking at the Sprint $39.99 unlimited phone as modem plan.  However they only have EV-DO Rev 0 currently on the phones and Rev A on the usb/pc card modems.    Anyone have any experience with the USB cards with a Z?
