Next message: Barry Singer: "lv-ab: RE: Verizon Wireless Internet Coverage"
Thanks Henrik. That confirms what Embarq finally admitted. I've returned
it under their 30 day free return policy. I would have been prepared to
purchase the hardware ($200) and pay just by the minute or for traffic
volume I use when travelling, just for the convenience, but they only have a
$60 per month unlimitd plan. Its not worth $60 per month sitting idle
waiting until I travel.
Regards,
Ann-Marie Foster,
