what is the best (cheapest) way to get internet on my laptop in my car.

i drive alot for work and would like to post on here when i am out:D

I would suggest a laptop card. Sprint is what I have in my truck, works very good. Use with an external antenna and you will be ok. Speed is faster than dial-up so that is all that matters to me and you can still pick up wifi where available.

I use a Verizon card, works pretty good. Heck I am rolling down the road @71mph in Indiana right now:D.

T-mobile air card for me.

that is not safe :cool:

but that is exactly what i wnat to do!

i have thought about the mobil card, but i have cingular cell phone and there plans don't seem to be as good as the others but i don't have a voice plan with theothers so i think they are more expensive that way. and i can't get rid of cingular, i have had cingular for close to a decade and they are good at resolving any problems that comes up fast for me.

Makes the day go by faster, heck its either surf the net or watch TV:p:. I believe the t-mobile user above has also been known for a little typing and driving too...;).
Go to go The Sopranos disk just started playing:lol:.

Who me??):h

I have a cingular 8525 cell phone with 3G internet capabilty. Its awesome and runs quick on the net. Plus its WiFi available.

I used my phone as a modem before I went with a card, but with verizon that only works in the actual "verizon cells". The card will log onto any system and work. Plus using the phone as a modem I could not talk and surf:p:.

have you successfully tethered your 8525 to a laptop??? i have an 8125 and it won't work tethered.

i have the motorola sliver and i did hear someone saying that you could use it as a modem, but i don't understand anything about it.

regular moto's will work. used to do that all the time. its the 8525/8125 i'm wondering about

so how do i use my phone to get internet on my computer?

this sounds really cool

There is way to much techno here now.

it really depends on the phone.. i don't want to take this thread way off topic but if you start a new thread about how to use your particular phone hopefully someone can help.

ok

I personally havnt done it. I know that the 8125 isnt 3G tho. From the intstructions ive read, teathering it should be easy. 3G is pretty darn quick for a phone. I love mine.

i hear it should be easy too but i have never been able to get it to work

i have internet in my truck now i teathered my slvr to my laptop now i have internet!! is the slvr G3????

i like being on the internet when driving. i have joined the club
