The hotels all seem to offer local calls for .50 each, which could get expensive in 6 weeks. My current cell plan expires with Sprint this July and I'm looking toward perhaps a switch to T-Mobile and a Bluetooth phone.
1) How fast is the modem connection you get with your
a)Bluetooth phone as modem?
b)Cell Phone as modem via USB?
2) Does anyone know the coverage of t-mobile in the Irving/Dallas area? I will need to recheck the Milwaukee coverage again this year. I'm really looking probably whatever is the provider with complete coverage in Dallas/Irving. Last year, in Milwaukee Sprint was my best option.
(Not necessarily looking for published data on coverage, but user experience. T-mobile/Voicestream claimed coverage at my location last year, but came up one street short.)
3) Any 802.11b/g wireless semi-nationwide/nationwide providers
Info:
Powerbook G4 12" with bluetooth, modem, and 802.11g.
Current cell plan/phone is Sprint PCS LG5250
ISP will likely be Earthlink
