Hi there! I'm a certified trainer in the telecommunications business, and noticed a real lack in Wikipedia for information about using cellphones as data modems. I created this stub page to fill that gap. It is on its route to graduating from stub status, but it needs your help:

  • wikipolish
  • proofreading
  • more native information

Content which might be helpful on this page would be

  • Some leads on how to obtain service for Internet usage from major Wireless carriers in the USA, Europe, and other locations
  • Some more information on cellphones which make good data modems for PC's, whether connecting to the PC via Bluetooth or USB cable.

Welcome and enjoy the work.

Monty

I regret to inform you that this article has failed. The main reason is that it is a stub. And worse it is of little importance. Funpika 20:22, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Service Providers

I would create a wikitable with the providers classified by country, access ways (mobile phone, PCMCIA Card, USB modem, all) and speed (GPRS, 3G, 3.5G). --Nukeless 20:32, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Are wireless modems secure

I was looking for a new modem the other day but the computer shop only had wireless modems (they said only place I'd get a plug in one is an antique shop) which scares me as they don't seem too secure, I have concerns over other people accessing my computer via the wireless modem. Is this justified? I don't see anything on the page on security of wireless modems so can someone comment on it? Thanks AllanHainey (talk) 12:51, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
