Has anyone been using this device with their laptop to gain access to the interent???? Yes but on AT&T Wireless and T-Mobile but not Alltel. Works wonderfully!

John -- are you sure you're using the 555 with a GSM carrier? Sierra Wireless AirCard 555 Connect the AirCard 555 with your notebook computer, handheld device or PDA, and you have fast, reliable access to E-mail, the Internet and corporate information on high-speed CDMA2000 1X networks. AirCard Manager is now available. But then again, I suppose Alltel is now technically a GSM carrier - with the AT&T Wireless markets it purchased from Cingular, and with the GSM network it will be aquiring with Western Wireless. I'm curious to see how it's going to handle the AT&T Wireless markets. th >> Yes but on AT&T Wireless and T-Mobile but not Alltel. >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > network it will be aquiring with Western Wireless.

Sierra makes card for CDMA and GSM, but the wisest course at this point for data is the Verizon PC 5220 card that does CDMA EV-DO which is much faster than 1xRTT on the Sierra 555. It will default to 1xRTT when EV-DO is not available. The Verizon network is far larger than Alltel's and at this time, there are no roaming agreements for data, so the larger network is a major advantage. SignatureThomas M. Goethe >John -- are you sure you're using the 555 with a GSM carrier? Probably not. I haven't looked at it in awhile, been using a Merlin card recently on T-Mobile. -- John S. e-mail responses to - john at kiana dot net |
