Review: For me this card is not really usable in practice. The network connection doesn't follow the windows standard and thus confuses itself with other connections you may have. Even with 5 bars the bit rate is extremely variable. Windows might think it could make as much as 40k, but you get much less than that in practice. Personally I can't see much advantage of this card/service over 9.6k and straight GSM. They're both only useful in an emergency. The data charges are considerable. It may well "work around the globe" (although it doesn't work very well here), but just check out how much they charge you to download your spam. You're going to have to plug into a power source to use this anyway, so take a little 'phone lead too and surf more reliably, faster and cheaper. A terrible product, which I doubt is used by anyone unfortunate enough to buy it.
