I don’t want to hijack this post and I don’t think that it is but I am sorry if it is. I have an ATT Air Card data plan, but I don’t feel I can use all of the time, so I was wondering if it can be used in another device such as an IPhone or some similar so I can use the data minutes. I don’t care about the voice features. I don’t think this is cheating ATT I just want MY monies worth.

I spoke with a sales rep today. They apparently think the data plan is still available, its just not sold in stores. Buy a phone, (a really cheap one) and try it out. I bet you can still buy the plan. I’m pretty broke right now, so if anyone wants to test it out, they were ready to turn it on for my SIM at the AT&T site just a few minutes ago, but I backed out because “I needed to compare rates”.

100MB is not really enough for a PC. i thought it would be.

for someone with bad credit anyway to get a good amount amount of data anyware without a credit card or ssn, basicly prepaid since my credit is distroyed

Yes, it was removed in November, search the news for details.

The 100 MB Media Net plan is being offered as a gesture to those that want more data than what GoPhone offers currently, but it is a far cry from the unlimited plan that was offered last fall.

I placed my gophone SIM card in the SIERRA WIRELESS AIRCARD 881 and tried to connect to AT&T.
I get the following error message from 3G watcher;
“Disconnected from AT&T Invalid Profile”
Any Suggestions?

P.S: I downloaded the latest software/firmware from Sierra.

I didn’t go for the IPhone, but got the cheapest gophone and an unlocked PALM TREO 750 for $100 and I thought I was set. Then AT&T cancelled the $20/month unlimited data and I am stuck with 9.99 for 5mb.
Also, I couldn’t get Sierra 860 air-card working with SIM. Luckily I was able to return it.

What are my best options now?
The Verizon Impulse data for $1/day when you use it doesn’t sound bad, but I don’t think they use SIM card? Also, the Palm is not EVDO? How would I use unlocked PALM TREO 750 with them?
What are my best options for 3G data in NYC?
