Not what I wanted to hear! <g>

By the way, here are the latest Data offerings:

Connection Card:

40MB - $39.99/mo.
Unlimited Data $79.99/mo. (Sprint is currently running a special: $59.99/mo.*)

Phone-As-Modem Data Pricing:

40MB - $39.99/mo.
Unlimited Data $49.99/mo. (Sprint is currently running a special: $39.99/mo.*)

* If combined with a Sprint PCS Plan and a 2-year subscriber agreement.

Unless Phone-As-Modem Data Pricing is selected, customers using a Sprint PCS
phone as a modem will be charged $0.02 per kilobyte for data usage.

I have the connection card with an unlimited plan. I usually achieve
2Mbits/sec. Not bad.

Which card?

Notan

It is the Novatel S620. It is better than a T1.
