Next message: Stephen Offutt: "T&T: VOIP Magic Jack Device"
We started off using our Verizon cell phone for broadband access. We had to
be sure the phone was always charged and we lost the use of it as a phone
when we had it hooked up to the computer. For the same monthly charge, we
have unlimited broadband coverage with a USB aircard. The phone(s) are
available (the aircard is on a different number) and the aircard works off
the computer power supply. We use Skype for much of our telephone
communications and have been able to cut our cell phone coverage to the
minimum plan. We also have a marine antenna hooked to the aircard for better
coverage. One of this is cheap, but it works except in the darkest holes of
the Carolinas, Georgia, and Maine where cell coverage itself disappears.
When in the Bahamas (where we pay for WiFi when we can't find it for free),
a simple phone call or email allows us to suspend the service until we
return.
