One of my son's friends has no internet, because he is living in a remote rural area with no wired internet.
I found myself thinking about cellular data, but he is really on a budget. I wish someone offered unlimited 500k or 1mbps data for $10 or so a month, but I haven't been able to find that. I did recently find a provider that offered about 10GB of high speed, with unlimited 256k, for about 10 bucks. I suppose that might be as good as he could get.
That being said, is there a USB dongle with antenna or something where he could just insert the sim card, and directly get data on the PC? They charge an extra 50% a month for wifi hot spot, so he wouldn't want to go that route. 256k seems pretty slow, but at least he could stream music, browse internet, and check email. $100 or so a year seems reasonable to add internet access like this.
If you have any recommendations for a usb device that could easily add this, I would appreciate your suggestions. Thanks!
