Purchase the card directly from Sierrawireless, if you get it from the
provider is
is branded and if you decide to change providers or travel outside the USA you
can not just pop in a SIM card in order to switch providers.
That is the big advantage of GSM/GPRS/EDGE as a international standard if your
radio is not branded you just swap out the SIM card with one on the
local network
and you are good to go, when I was in Nigeria that is exactly what I
did with both
my c-phone (also a GSMGPRS phone) and my data card. My call cost went from
$3/min to less than $1/min for calls to the USA from there. (Your
international roam
will eat you alive if you use it cheaper just to get a SIM in the
country you are at)
Indeed when you travel through Europe you will find that they sell the
cards right
at the point of entry into the country.
