justinlay Posted January 31, 2007 CID Share Posted January 31, 2007 Ive been thinking awhile of geting a Cingular air card for the laptop. I have a couple in mind. Which one would you prefer? I was going to purchase one if possible off of ebay. I already have a cingular account for my cell phone, do i still need to have a 2 year contract if i get this card??

dlewis23 Posted January 31, 2007 CID Share Posted January 31, 2007 I don't know what cards are good. but you do not need a 2 year contract, just a fat wallet, AT&T's (cingular) data plans are very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmp Posted March 29, 2008 CID Share Posted March 29, 2008 Class 10 or class 12 talks about the GSM-GPRS class call. The network will dynamically adjust up to the maximimum based upon network loading. this is out of the users control. I dont have my 3GPP documents with me but the class difference is 10-20% change. A HSDPA call does not have a similar designation since 3G is considerably different transport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
