Hey everyone, just got word that we'll be having an allowance from work to buy cards or USB devices to get the web on the road.
Here's the dilemma ATT wants 3g USB works with Mac at $60/2yr contract.
They'll pay most of that for the time being BUT in this economy and speeds getting faster almost every year, I'd be stuck with it. MOST I'd want to go is a year(carrier doesn't matter we get $50/mo. but goes to a person not a business) in case there's any changes in staff and being stuck paying it or having a 5 G or something a year in and pay to break it off.
Basically it's to show off to clients how ads work at our company and how they can see there's other clients of ours have work for them that they can submit bids on.
Usage is very light. It's not something I don't have access to the regular wifi everywhere else for free.
Questions:
1. Is there reliable pre-paid 3G usb modems out there?
2. Is there a cheaper way of doing this say, change out my sim card to the device from my Iphone? We're all ATT I know first gen (what I have) iphone allows me to use a crappy older cell when I go to the beach or anywhere it's too bulky or easier to break.
3. Would it be cheaper to get ATT or another carrier to sell me a phone with a 3g package swap the sim to a USB device and use that.
Any input or ideas are welcome. I was told that iphone can't be tethered to the mac for web access too
