3G cards for mobile internet
3G internet is great if you want to stay connected on the road without having to worry about plugging in cables. It works by simply connecting a 3G data card to your notebook or desktop machine and then establishing a connection to any mobile network operator that offers 3G services. If you reside in a major town or city, expect an instant connection practically anywhere you go.
Many people find public hot spots very beneficial where a wireless connection is concerned. The one disadvantage however is having to find a restaurant or coffee shop that has one available and then still having to pay the fee’s associated with it. A 3G card will allow you to have complete control over where you connect and the bandwidth you use.
Hardware: In order to establish a connection you will first need to get your hands on the correct hardware. You will need a 3G card that can connect to your computer via PCMCIA, USB or your smart card port. These cards are commonly provided with data plans sold by cellular carriers, although it is possible to buy them separately.
Provider: You will need an account with a cellular carrier in order to make use of their network. There are various plans and packages to choose from that vary in price. When searching for a carrier, your current provider may be a good place to start.
Connection: As signal is broadcasted from cell phone towers, you will almost never run out of locations to surf the web. 3G cards have strong wireless capabilities, so unless you are stranded in the middle of the desert rest assured that you will have a signal. Transfer speeds are also directly influenced by the strength of your 3G signal.
You will find a wide array of 3G cards available for purchase online. You should purchase a device that is not network locked so that you will have the freedom to choose between any network.
