QUESTION: I'm in the process of getting a wireless card and I want to know which cellular company is the cheapest? unlimited data usage? etc. Right now I currently with Version. I have to pay for the air card and I get 5GB a month.

ANSWER: Verizon and AT&T charge $59.99 for unlimited (5G is basically unlimited) aircard service. Sprint typically charges the same. T-Mobile is $49.99. I wouldn't trust any carrier other than these 4 especially with a data network. Aircard data is NOT cheap. You might actually be better off, if you happen to have a PDA today, to just add the tethering to your PDA data plan. It's only $15.00 to add tethering to an unlimited data plan with AT&T and Verizon. I hpe this helps. Thanks. DebiN

QUESTION: What is tethering? What is the best PDA with Verizon right now? I basically need it for emailing, texting, taking pics and etc...Thanks in advance.

Answer
Personally, I think that the BlackBerry Storm would be your best bet right now. The Storm has a great interface for email, texting, taking pictures, etc. BlackBerrys are easy to use and you can get a tethering plan also. Tethering is the ability to use the USB cable to connect your PC and BlackBerry and use the BlackBerry like a modem. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
