Hi, can someone explain a few things to me.
1) If I buy a laptop , can I use my A900 and A840 as a modem ?
2) Do I need to sign up with an ISP ?
3) Does the time online also count towards my ATM ?
4) Does the laptop I buy need to have anything special like
wireless card ?
5) What is a data card that is mentioned in other threads ? Does that
go into certain phones or into the laptop ? If I use that, do I need to
sign up with an ISP ?
6) If I need to sign up with an ISP for any of the above, can I use the
same user ID I have on my desktop (comcast) ?
THANKS for your help

2) Do I need to sign up with an ISP ? NO

4) Does the laptop I buy need to have anything special like
wireless card ? No
5) What is a data card that is mentioned in other threads ? Does that

sign up with an ISP ? There is a data card that goes in the laptop (but then you do not need the phone)
6) If I need to sign up with an ISP for any of the above, can I use the
same user ID I have on my desktop (comcast) ? Your ISP is Sprint

The A840 is not a power vision phone, it is a picture phone. The pam plam is 39.99 a month and no other data service, picture mail and video mail are $5 each. Text messaging is not included. The aircards only fit a laptop with a PCIMCA slot not the express slots. The only connection needed on the laptop is a usb port. After you get the pam plan you will need to so to sprint.com/downoads and download the phome as modem software. if you are using XP select that as you OS and download the second software listed.
