The Self Referential Thread

Yeah cable would have been ok. Even if I had DSL I would still be stuck since it uses the phone. 😀

I hate it when the cable company has a service interruption. 🙁

 

[kurchatovium]

You ever try that portable internet thing on Palm Tungsten PDA's? Are they anygood?

 

[milagros317]

I don't own one, but I tried my cousin's. The keyboard is miniature, so it is very hard to type a message. 😀 😛

 

[kurchatovium]

Do you know how much it costs to be hooked up to the internet per month on it? Just thinking of having a spare hookup in case this happens again. 😀

 

[milagros317]

Sorry, that I don't know. 😀 😛

 

[kurchatovium]

Oh well thanks anyway. I have been trying to find out, but they never tell you that part. LOL

 

[kurchatovium]

Hey I am still online. Its amazing. Hehehe 😀 😀 😛

Palm's Tungsten? That hookup can be by Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi requires that you have a fixed connection, i.e. a cable connection with a wireless router, and Bluetooth also requires a fixed source. That wouldn't help you any, I'm afraid. What you need, Kurch my man, is a cell phone with a web connection. That way, so long as you have signal, you have internet. The best bpart is that, with certain phones, you can hook them up to a computer and use them as a modem, achieving speeds comparable to lower tier DSL. And you can use your computer as normal, since the phone IS your modem.

Ah, HDS is the electronic device expert here. 😀 😛

 

[His Divine Shadow]

I aim to please.😀

 

[milagros317]

My cable modem is working about 99% of the time. 😀 😛

 

[kurchatovium]

Thanks HDS. Do you know how much one of those cellular phone jobbies with internet runs? My guess is it is not cheap. 😀 😀 😛


HDS is the internet master I think milagros.

 

[milagros317]

That he is, yes. 😀 😛

You give me too much credit. Now, I can find out prices, I can, but I need your area code to plug in to the phone companys' websites.

 

[kurchatovium]

I sent you an email with my area code. Thanks for the help my friend.

 

[His Divine Shadow]

Kurchman, check your email again. I found one thing, possibly two, but I need one last bit to confirm.

 

[kurchatovium]

I sent you the requested info. Thanks again. 😀 😀

 

[His Divine Shadow]

I have excellent news: You qualify for both plans!

Both those plans are just what I was describing, using a cell phone as a modem. What I suggest you do is either call whichever one you prefer to inquire as to what phone you will need, or inquire at your local Sprint/Verizon store. Do those satisfy your needs?

 

[kurchatovium]

From what I can see they seem great HDS but my connection is blinking in and out so I will check them out more thouroughly later. Thanks so much for the help my friend. 😀 😀

 

[milagros317]

HDS is always helpful. 😀 😛

 

[His Divine Shadow]

HDS merely has lots of free time to be helpful.😀

 

[milagros317]

I have come to expect HDS to speak of himself in the third person. 😀 😛

 

[kurchatovium]

Kurchie likes HDS a lot 😀 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Now Kurch has begun to speak of himself in the third person also. 😀 😛
