wireless internet for boaters

[dboy]

I found a very useful tips on a site and thought I'd share.

I have been deep fishing for quite awhile because of my infatuation with the ocean and the outdoor life. One thing that hinders me from enjoying my outdoor living was the inability to stay connect with my friends and families. I was introduced by a friend who told me about this website called 123usb.net . From there, I ordered a charging usb cable them which supposely, allows me to use my cellular phone with my latop to connect to the internet remotely. I was stunt when I connected for the first time. I didn't expect much since it only cost a few bucks. Anyways I was very pleased with what this little cable can do. I received the item in 2 days and it came with all necessary instruction and drivers and a simple guide on how to connect to the internet which having to purchase expensive software, I got this up and running with my sanyo phones in very quick and painlessly. Web pages load surprisingly quick. The perfect solution for any boaters who would love to keep in touch with the world while away from home or even just to check up on weather. Hope this help you guys out.

Stinks of SPAM even here, 12,000 miles away. Now if it smelt of kippers that would be different, but it doesn't.

Stinks of SPAM, although this is a valid way to connect.

Just in case anyone's thinking of tryng it through a reputable supplier, I have a cable supplied by my work so can make some comments.

1. The cable's great for charging the phone through the USB - don't need to carry the phone charger. This really the only good thing about a cable.

2. You can connect through most laptops using the IR port anyway so you don't actually need a cable.

3. If you have a GPRS phone and are willing to pay the cost then it's not too bad. If you don't then the connection is so slow and unreliable, forget it.

before i bought the cable, i have done quite lot of research about interentwireless. I personally bought this software called "snapdialer," not sure if anyone heard of it, anyways, combine with their data cable. i was able to connect to my sprint network with my laptop thru my vision plan which is only $10 a month. At first, i had hard a time installing their software so i called one of their tech support who were very kindly, walked me through the troubleshooting. what he did was basically added a new connection from my network connection and punched in some sprint netwrok dilaing #, and he told me that I was able to use my 3g phone with my laptop just by using the cable itself. I was amazed and upset at the sametime because i spent almost $40 for their software and realizing that i didnt even have to use the software, consequently, im stuff with the software. So he suggested me to this website where i can just purchase their usb charging data cable along with their instruction guide to setup up my connection. I was amazed how fast my connection is compare to 56k modem. Base on my research, I found that 3g phones are able to connect to the interent with the speed of 230 kbs with most phone carrier such as sprint, verison, a-mobile. If you dont have a internet plan with your phone carrier, the connection are limited to 19.9kbs and it would just use your phone minute instead. I hope people wouldnt go thru the same mistake as i did, and hope my 2 cent are helpful to guys.

Hang on a mo! what's wrong with spam? I hear they're about to reintroduce it in the shops. It's better than pot noodle anayway.
