    I was about to purchase an AT&T wireless broadband card for mobile internet.
    I already have a AT&T cell phone and the Motorola Moto Q phone with Windows Mobile 6.1

    I found this article on how to use my phone tethered to my laptop via Bluetooth for internet via the AT&T wireless 3G network.

    Works pretty good except it drained the phone battery dry! :D

    Phone cards are more convenient. If you have a business phone account, you should talk to your supplier. The ones I've worked with will often give you a free phone card without too much effort. The cards are fairly low cost anyway, so the providers realise that it's worth giving them to business users as they'll make more than enough to cover the cost with the data-transfer tariff.

    I've got a card and use it regularly.

    Data card 59.00 a month
    Unlimited data plan on my phone: 35.00

    Just thought it was a cool idea for people without cards.

    In fact I have the card and a linksys router that the card plugs into.
