Yes I still have service on both the phone and card...I live in a big city, I just don't have a home phone or cable/satellite service so my aircard was my only source for internet personally (not my only option) I take my laptop with me 90% of the places I go so the fact that my internet can travel with me was a huge plus when I first moved and was considering my options for internet. My Mogul is on the Simply Everything plan and the aircard is on the unlimited data. To get broadband at my home would have been cheapest through the cable company however they wanted $10.00/month for basic cable and also another $40-45.00/month for 10mb internet which is their "base package" I figured by the time I spent that kind of money for general surfing I may as well spend the extra $10-15.00 a month for the unlimited plan and take it with me wherever I go since I still travel a few places where dialup is the only option and I still get Sprint RevA coverage.

I from time to time fix friends computers where they also just use dialup and if I have to reformat a system, while NOT optimal the wireless card provides a must faster download of the windows updates after format than I could ever get from a dialup connection.

The TRUInstall cd-less drivers that come with the Compass make this whole process a breeze now. Plus just about any system I work on has USB ports.


The Rep I spoke to said they had experienced people using their data cards to run servers and such off of, which depending on the content contained on the server could easily bog down Sprints network with ease. I just like the fact that I'm out of contract on both of my devices, mainly because it allows me to get the "new contract" pricing on upgrading my Mogul to something new if HTC makes anything that tickles my fancy in the next year or so. Also if it does turn out that PDA's are indeed capped and they start to charge overages I can cancel without a termination fee. Sprint has been GREAT in the past about telling you one thing on the phone @ Customer Service and something TOTALLY different when you actually receive your bill, since in all reality they can't see the "current" charges on your bill until it actually cylces at which point the charges are already there.
