Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Sprint PCS / February 2006Connection Card vs Phone
Are Connection Cards any better at pulling in a signal than phones? Thanks! Notan >Are Connection Cards any better at pulling in a signal than phones? Not in my experience. I tend to get slightly more consistent performance from the Novatel cards versus the Sierra cards, but both are roughly on par with any of the handsets I've used.

YMMV Not what I wanted to hear! <g> By the way, here are the latest Data offerings: Connection Card: 40MB - $39.99/mo. Unlimited Data $79.99/mo. (Sprint is currently running a special: $59.99/mo.*) Phone-As-Modem Data Pricing: 40MB - $39.99/mo. Unlimited Data $49.99/mo. (Sprint is currently running a special: $39.99/mo.*) * If combined with a Sprint PCS Plan and a 2-year subscriber agreement. Unless Phone-As-Modem Data Pricing is selected, customers using a Sprint PCS phone as a modem will be charged $0.02 per kilobyte for data usage. Notan I have the connection card with an unlimited plan. I usually achieve 2Mbits/sec. Not bad. >> >Are Connection Cards any better at pulling in a signal than phones? >> [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > Notan > I have the connection card with an unlimited plan.

How are you measuring that, with Internet speed test sites or by running a utility locally, such as DUMeter or NetPerSec? (Until I know more, I'm thinking your speed might be a bit overstated, especially if you're using an Internet-based tool.) SignaturePaul Miner |
