Ohh, I will have to go check that one out. Ahh yes now I know why I
did not use it
I have a buddy that has T-mobile, and their network is PCS only so if
you go into a
network that has 800MHz network only you are out of luck. I think that
their phones
are PCS only also.

I use AT&T WS, their network is on both the PCS side and the 800MHz side so you
do have a lot better coverage, but at the same time the SW Aircard should be a
triband card (7x0 series) and the 775 which does EDGE also is a quad band card,
all of them will allow you to to roam world wide, if you keep a nice
collection of SIM
cards then you can go about anywhere you want.

I am going to go see AT&T and see if I can get a better rate if
T-Mobile is down to
that low!
