I'm selling a USB720 I no longer have a use for:


As an alternative to PC Cards or ExpressCards, the Verizon Wireless USB720 EV-DO Rev A USB Modem has been developed to be compatible with all devices supporting a Type A USB port, including desktops, notebooks, tablet PCs, and PDAs. In addition to this expanded compatibility, the USB720 has some amazing features such as increased upload and download speeds, VZAccess Manager capability, a high performance flip-up antenna, an LED service status indicator, a compact and lightweight design that allows maximum convenience for wireless mobility, and more. Other features include Windows Vista compatibility (as well as 2000 and XP) and Mac OS X compatibility (10.3.9 or higher).

Stay Connected
The USB720 is compatible with Verizon's BroadbandAccess and NationalAccess high-speed wireless data access plans. That means you can get the broadband-like speed you require to work efficiently outside the office.

A Verizon BroadbandAccess plan will give you the freedom to stay productive and connected whether you're on the road or in a meeting across town with broadband-like connection speeds. You will also receive NationalAccess service when outside the BroadbandAccess rate and coverage area. NationalAccess is available in thousands of cities and towns.

The NationalAccess plan is Verizon Wireless' national wireless Internet service, which enables users to access the Internet, email, attachments, and business applications with a laptop at average speeds of 60-80 kbps and bursts up to 144 kbps (you may experience slower data speeds).

Before checkout be sure to choose one of the previously mentioned Verizon wireless data plans to enjoy Unlimited access for Internet browsing, email, and Intranet access. Chose a plan that's right for you. Without a specified Verizon data plan, data service will be charged at 0.25 cents a minute.

Card Design and Features
The USB720 comes with VZAccess Manager software for easy connection management right out of the box. Easy to install and use, the card features a high performance, flip-up antenna for increased speed and coverage allowing you to easily connect from the comforts of your favorite coffee shop, in a board meeting, or on your sofa at home. The card's intuitive user interface is easy to manage while the bright service state LED indicator lets you know signal availability and data transfer status at a glance. There's even an optional external Antenna Connector (sold separately) for times when you need to boost connectivity.

VZAccess Manager is a new customizable tool that lets you manage remote access needs across the country. VZAccess Manager, developed by Verizon Wireless in conjunction with one of its parent companies, Vodafone, is available for BroadbandAccess and NationalAccess wireless PC cards, and Mobile Office Kits. It allows mobile professionals, business, and enterprise customers to easily access Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess and NationalAccess services, and their own Wi-Fi and dial-up networks so that they can stay connected wherever they go.

VZAccess Manager is easy to use and simplifies wireless remote access allowing users to stay connected to business-critical email, company databases, files and the Internet while mobile. VZAccess Manager is ideal for information technology managers who seek to deploy a remote access solution that is easy for their employees to use with minimum support requirements.

Vital Statistics
The Verizon Wireless USB720 EV-DO Rev A USB Modem weighs 1.6 ounces and measures 3.52 x 1.49 x .69 inches. It is compatible with the Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista and Mac OS X (10.3.9 and later) operating systems. It operates on the CDMA 850/1900 EV-DO/1xRTT frequencies.

This card works very well and very fast, even in more rural locations.

I'm open to cash or trade offers. Keep in mind that this card's retail price is $299, and you are not obligated to sign a 2Y agreement with VZW to be able to use it. Obviously I'm not expecting to get that much for it, so all reasonable offers will be considered.

Damn... three weeks ago I would have totally gone for this deal, but unfortunately I'm not really talking to the person I would have used it with anymore. Let me see what other offers I get, and I'll be sure to let you know.

Please LMK when you know. As I already have Verizon and this will work out great since I was already looking for wireless broad band...

I most certainly will. It's a great card.

Can you use this with any data plan? I'm not quite sure how these ones work (like a Sim card system or something). How much would it cost to start up a data plan for decent speed, whether I'm signing to a contract or month by month?

You can use this with any data plan that Verizon Wireless offers. There's no SIM card, you just call up 1-800-2-JOIN-IN to activate it.

I believe that they are currently only offering one plan (or one speed), but the pricing depends on if you currently have a phone with Verizon now or not.

Just to add, I have this exact model and it is damn fast. They have upgraded their network recently and now it's comparable to DSL and Cable, we even online game on it!

I pay $60 a month, but keep in mind with this I can be riding down the interstate surfing the net, or when we go camping have instant access.

And OS X has built in drivers. It's pure plug n play.
