I want to have a internet connection on my netbook when i go bargain hunting so i can check ebay etc, prices. My usage would be intermittent so i don't want to buy a pricey monthly plan that i won't use all that much.
Anyone have any experience with this company:
Best Regards Tom.
If you have good Sprint coverage this Walmart - Virgin Mobile sweetheart deal is pretty good versus the competition:
If you don't buy the modem at Walmart $20 gets you 500MB:

I have one of the MiFi gadgets from wally world, works well with the netbook and tablet. If you're in a major metro area or along an interstate, it works well, check Virgin's data coverage on their site. I usually don't burn through the 1 gig a month that the $20 wally world special rate gives. Can have up to five connections concurrently with it. It IS another thing to pack along with the netbook, but can be a lifesaver. My engine blew up in Omaha, had to get a tow, googled up a tow company in a couple of minutes. I bought a spare battery for about $8, the original gives about 6 hours of use before running flat. The account maintenance website can be a little flakey at times but I can usually top up with few problems. It's an alternative to an expensive smartphone and can be used with just about anything that has Wifi. I don't have anything it hasn't worked well with. Only problem is they've jacked up the price on it about $20.
