Has anyone tried to send and receive Fax's via Cellphone?
I am hoping the answer is yes. I priced e-fax using the Internet but to be HIPPA compliant (I'm in the Insurance industry) they want over $100/month. I'm researching alternatives.
Actually, I priced out the kit, and it is all very fair...
Router is normally $250 to $300
Amp is normally $300
Antenna is at least $100
The kit also comes with both wall and auto chargers (if you get the pieces individually, they only come with wall chargers) so I figured that must be worth another $50
The kit also comes with extra cabling $20
And a 3-way mount $20
That figures to be $790...oh...now let's factor in shipping for each item separately...wich would be from $70 to $100...so again, having it all in one kit is nice.
So I figure when I added it all up, it seems pretty darn fair what they charged. Also, you can't beat the simplicity of the kit. They made it very easy for me (all the instructions you need are on the inside label of the box...no configuring required, just plug it in)...at the same time, they saved me a lot of $$$$ in time researching this, as they have done it all for me.
We use Sprint as the backbone ($59.99 for unlimited per month). We started out using free WiFi, but had a security breach, which prompted the need for a new solution...which led us to WiFi In Motion. I have to say, it is pretty cool for my wife to be on her laptop checking in on real estate transactions, banking, upcoming restaurants, weather, etc. and the kids can be in the back on their laptop. We have also become a hit at the RV parks because we share our WiFi connection (just make sure you aren't browsing any secure info like banking when you share).
I will let you know how it goes!

absolutely correct on equipment costs
folkie was way under estimating the cost of amp & router
a pkg deal on the equiment and you use your own cell carrier and account, good deal

Maximum memory has been reached !
the basic plans ACII or NW are the same price for the same number of minutes ( voice account )
and you have (14 days )(I think ) to switch back to ACII/old plan, if your not happy with NW ( double check this with the CS rep )( if you do this, do it by phone ) the phone reps know more than most store reps, and its easier to get the supervsior for help, if the CS rep doesn't know.
IF you do this DO NOT mention PC & internet, to them, they will either play dumb or say no.
all i know is, 'its working for me ' and we knew this was comming,
"the Simply Unlimited plan is not affected by the data usage cap, which applies only to connection card and phone-as-modem plans (tethering)"
* The vast majority of current users (about 99.5 percent) shouldn't be affected. Whether it's the 300MB roaming limit or the 5GB limit on total data usage, that's enough data to meet the regular monthly usage habits of almost all of our customers.
* Going over either limit will not cause a card to suddenly stop working.
* Going over once in a while is OK. We'll check usage using a rolling, three-month basis.
* Customers would have to exceed the limit in two out of three consecutive months to face termination.
* Initially, we are contacting customers first, to make them aware of the new limits and give them a chance to change their usage, if they want to continue using the service.
* We're investigating additional options for customers who need to use more data.
* Users will be able to check and monitor their total data usage on Sprint.com beginning June 8.
* The caps are being applied to new and existing consumer and individual-liable accounts, but not corporate-liable, business contracts, Public Sector, or government contracts. We're working on additional processes and pricing to appropriately address the needs of heavy roaming and data users among the corporate liable customer group.
Doh! I'm on a trip in Michigan and just tried to connect using my phone and got the Verizon broadband message. I have an old America's Choice plan without VCAST. It worked in SoCal a few weeks ago.
So, is the thinking that adding VCAST will get me going or is that been proven as a dead end?
What a bummer. There is no way I can justify $59.95 a month to use it one or two days. Argh!
vcast should work, but the $60 feature, is just that a feature, if you add it ,then remove a few days later or 10 days, it gets pro-rated at $2 a day or possibly $2 per 166mb/day ( 166 mb being 5gig/30days )
being that can use it during the day or night $6 for a weekend or $28 for a (2) week vacation could be considered reasonable
yeah spending $60 a month if not using it all the time is over kill.
