    Don't know if you use Idleair but I swear by it. Flying J wifi when I can't hook to the other.

    I checked into cingular today. They want $99 mo. for unlimited access. The most expensive of them all.

    Edit... I just spoke with CS and because I have an account it is $59.99 mo. at cingular.

    I haven't oany of the cellular network internet access, Hope you guys can give the pros and cons of the network you have subscribed to. I've read somewhere in this forum that Verizon will cut you off for excessive use of the band with even if you have an unlimited plan. Also read that on sprint they don't do that even if they play online games and download videos. Cingular I haven't heard anything about yet. It would be nice if we can compare all 3 of them.

    I use Verizon. I don't like the fact that they limit me to 5gb of bandwidth per month....but, their coverage is much better than Sprint. I tried a Sprint card for a couple of weeks and everywhere I stopped the Verizon card would outperfom the Sprint card....and not just slightly.....It blew it away! And it was the same exact card....the usb-720....both companies have the same card....just Verizon gets better reception. Or, at least it did for me.

    Anytime you use WiFi, such as IdleAir, FlyingJ, TA, or Siricomm you put yourself at risk of someone "watching" everything you do. Mobile Broadband, such as Sprint, Verizon are very secure. I ONLY use public WiFi in cases of emergency.
