I have the "old" Macbook and I was wondering if there was an aircard that was compatible with the Macbook that is on the Verizon network? If there is not, do I have to buy AT&T service to use the aircard?

Thanks,

Make sure that the Verizon USB is Mac compatible...some are some aren't.

I have the USB720 from Verizon and it works exceptionally.

So...

So, the product in the link below will allow me to plug the product into my Macbook's USB port and I will be able to log onto the Internet and surf the web and check my emails from anywhere by connecting to the cell networks? Anywhere I am that has cell service I will be able to connect to the Internet?
