Internet Access on the Road and at Home

[Dave Beatty]

Yes ...

1) Verizon cell EVDO Broadband Cost is $79.99 per month for
unlimited Internet.
2) EVDO does involve a second line that you can not use to talk on.

The PCMCIA Card I use is a Novatel V620 that is sold by Verizon for
$49 after rebate when I bought it. I have seen the V620 PCMCIA Card
for as little as $19 on the web. You can get an external antenna for
the V620 ... see websites below:

Judy and I each have a Verizon phones (Motorola V710) on a family
plan that cost around the same ($79) per month. Many of my friends
have the same Verizon service so we can call without using our
minutes.

There is another internet access option (called QquickAccess) that
cost only $5 per month from Verizon but they use your minutes unless
you wait til after 9 pm or the weekend (if you have free evening and
weekend minutes). Requires a $40 cable that attaches to your
Motorola Phone. But very slow speed (14.4) .

if you like me to explain better, please give me your phone number
and I will call you with my free minutes (after 9 pm or on the
weekend) if you like me to explain better...

See ya down the road.

Dave and Judy,

Just got off the phone with Verizon and got some conflicting
numbers - guy talked so fast, I asked him to email me specifics.

He said they no longer carry the PC5220 and only the PC5740. Also
said that the external antenna had no effect on digital - only on
analog. Quoted me $79.99 per mos for the internet access and added
the phone on top of that - in other words - two lines. When I'm on
the road I selodm use the phone cuz I get most things and
communication done thru internet, etc.

Does this jive with your info?

thanks
