I know this topic has been discussed, but I'm still confused. Is a Droid phone able to be used as a wi-fi hotspot to connect more than one laptop to the internet. If so, how did you go about getting it to work. How does this affect your data usage on your plan? Do you get unlimited usage and how fast is it?...

For years, I used a Palm Pilot as my calendar. It died, I got a used one from Ebay which was a piece of junk that never worked. I only have a basic cell phone, not a smart phone. My husband has a Droid but if he's talking on the phone, he can't look at the calendar. So that doesn't seem like a good solution. Whi...

Cradlepoint has now confirmed that the PHS300 will NOT ever support LTE, due to limitations of the hardware itself - the PHS300's processor is not fast enough to support the super-fast speeds LTE can provide. It is able to support 4G WiMAX devices because while WiMAX is fast (and certainly much faste...

This means that new customers will only have 14 days during which they can cancel their new service and return their equipment without inc...
