Hello !
one of my friends is on a voyage, and he will be making rounds to the USA. he mailed me asking advice on buying a USB modem from there. am not much knowledgeable on networking aspects/hardware, etc, and hence earnestly seek advice from our members here. following are his requirements :
1. he needs a USB modem just to browse social-networking websites, internet banking, etc. while he's at ports, so even low speeds would do.
2. his laptop is wifi enabled and he was wondering whether he could make use of that in any manner
3. he would be glad if he could get an UNLOCKED modem to be used with any network provider, and at any port/city, just anywhere.
4. the two US port-cities he would be visiting are oakland, and long beach (if this is of any help).
5. should be cheaper.
please let me know whether his requirements are realistic, and any advice on the purchase.
many thanks !
