Hello!
There are a lot of PCMCIA Data Card offerings from various mobile companies. I want to know which one is the best in terms of features, speed and reliability. Does any company offer unlimited downloads?
Please help me ASAP!
Thanks in anticipation! :)

i use ZTE card from reliance using CDMA, the speed is good, however it depends on signal strength and many other factors.

Hi,
3 of my friends recently moved in to a rented apartment. They are looking out for a suitable solution to access the Internet on their lappy. The owner of the apartment has not provided them with a landline. Since htey would be living there only for a year or so, they are not interested in applying for their own landline

What could be possible solutions for getting an Internet connection for cheap, possibly an unmeterd data plan?

I was thinking of suggesting that they get a data card. Was checking out MTS's data card tariff plan - unmetered 15 GB @ 3.1 Mbps and anything beyond that @ CDMA speeds ?? - Should I suggest them this plan

How do the others data card providers match up? Some people also asked me to suggest Relaince's data card - anybody here a Relaince user? experiances

I think Reliacne wi-max also operates here - unmetered data planappears too high for them to agree - will see

Also they were hoping to buy a single plan and share it. I think it should be possible - set up a wi-fi hot spot from one lappy for the other 2 to access - please correct me

Any suggesstions from where to get a low-cost card minus the SIM - save some money on that front

Any other solutions? Please help

Need your inputs scoming up with a solution


TIA :)

I don't know regarding others. But, heard many complaints regarding MTS speeds. Please check the reviews on google yourself.
