Help answer the question about mobile broadband
Will mobile broadband work on my desktop computer?we live in a area where we can't get home internet with out buying a land line too. Do you think the verizon mobile broadband will work on our desktop home computer?
Yep.
mobile broadband is broadband internet service using the same basic system that cell phones use. that's why theyre usually coming from cell phone companies. i think tmobile offers the service as well.
your laptop will likely have the hardware built in…otherwise, it will have a pccard that is purchased from the cell company allowing you to us their service.
it's like cell phone service for your laptop…but theres no phone service, only internet. it's cool because its much better (but more expensive) than the internet service that would be one your phone, and you can get it from anyway…you wont need a hotspot because it's fed from satellite.
my advice is to do your research as far as quality of service…but if youre not sure which one you wanna go with, then dont get the hardware built into your laptop. you can buy the hardware (its just a small pc card…not very obtusive) from any provider when you get their service, as opposed to having a particular one permanantly built into your laptop.
datajack unlimited 3g nationwide coverage no fee,no contracts,,no credit check,no deposit, no avtivation PERFECT. DATAJACK
is this over the cellular network??? How fast is your speed??
This is free or you need to pay something?
What sucks is that they don’t have unlimited downloads. The biggest is 15 GB a month.
Assuming you're running Vista: Go to START > Network
Click on Network and Sharing Center
On the left side, click on the "Set up a connection or network" option
Select "set up a wireless ad hoc" option.
That will enable PCs to directly connect to the "hotspot" PC
make sure that in the network options "allow others to acces the internet" option is selected and you should be fine!
cool unboxing vid. I had a 3 USB modem but it was real cheap made and broke easily. Also, the 3 coverage here in Ireland is terrible for 3g. I now have o2 and that works brilliant
thanks !!!
STC sux big time man
i've subscribed for 3 monthes 
and still enjoying this bad connection ..
Mobily Broadband was AWESOME .. luv oldayz
A lot of the time the service provider does not want you to do just that, so you probably cant or you have to upgrade to another data plan. I had the same issue with a phone internet connection, and wanting to share it with my notebook.
thanks for the info , I will try it tomorrow outdoor, at my school so that I can see,… I hope I will get good speed but at the moment I tried at home and it seems doing pretty well at the moment .

whats mobile brotband
The problem with satellite broadband is that it is broadband only in the Internet to home direction, for the home to Internet direction, you still need a physical connection, usually which in your case would be dial-up. I am not sure why you do not wan to use the T-Mobile broadband through your cell, unless it is cost prohibitive, and I do not remember T-Mobile being that expensive. However, you may encounter roaming charges.
Hey Kalvin hows switzerland?
Hey,
Great question. They can cost as much as $200. Good news is that there's a really good review that covers all the mobile broadband cards on the market right now. Most of them are listed as free or less than $50. There are a couple where you can make $100 from rebates.
Here's an excerpt from the review:
"There are 3 categories (USB, ExpressCards and PC Broadband Cards). Each gets compared side-by-side. See which card fits your needs based on:
1. Network
2. Speed
3. Operating System Compatibility
4. Extra Features
5. Price
To sweeten the honey even further, you can click on any card to read the full review and technical specifications."
