I have an Option GT Ultra Express 3G HSUPA/HSDPA/EDGE Card for sale. I used it for my MBP on the AT&T 3G network here in Los Angeles. Worked great on the train rides home. The problem is I now have a MacBook Air, and instead of getting an adapter, I would rather purchase a USB Connect 881 to minimize the stuff I need to carry around. Works great with the MBP and Leopard. It comes with the protective case and original packaging.

ITEM IS SOLD!

To use this, you wont need to renew your contract, just pop your sim card in and make sure to let AT&T add the broadband option to the line. Thanks

Are you interested in trading for a Sprint Novatel USB U727?? If you're interested, I can call Sprint up to see if i can get the line transferred to you. I'm currently on the unlimited plan and it cost me $59.99 every month. I'm thinking of using a Express Card instead with my MBP might be easier. Let me know. Thanks.

Sorry, I don't want to open up another account with another provider. Also, I'm already locked with AT&T at the moment.

Looking to get $100 shipped, or straight trade for a USB Connect 881 (AT&T or unlocked).

I have a question. I have an iPhone through AT&T. It has the BB capabilities already enabled. Can I just swap the sim card between the two?

I sometime need my MBP instead of my iPhone.

I hope this makes sense

Thank You

Yes as long as you have the internet enabled on that line it should work. It's just a matter of putting your sim card in and setting up the option gt software in leopard. Thanks

seriously? I might be interested then. So Att wont know that the data isnt going to your iphone? so this would be similar to tethering correct?

I would love to know this answer as well. I know I am bringing up an old thread, but am interested in being able to use my current Iphone Sim card in one of these express card adaptors and being able to use it with my Macbook Pro.

Thank You for your time

Dave C.

That is too funny. Sorry about that.

I asked AT&T ( a mall store). They said it is possible... but they don't reccomend it (imagine that). They have a new promo if you sign up for it you get the card free. The kid helping me said they couldn't make any deals. I just want to try it. They just want the extra $40 per month.

Thank you for the quick response. Again.. I am sorry about that.

It made me laugh

Thanks

So it seems nobody on this board has this card and an iPhone that could try this out. I would love to know but hate to spend $130 on a card on Ebay*for it not to work.
