[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

Topic: Hey guys.....need a suggestion on mobile internet

	Little background. After 18 years in the telecom industry, i have made the switch to long haul trucking. Since my current mobile provider has a cap of 200 gigs, i need something unlimited. Does anyone have any experience with the services from tmobile/walmart/etc. I am going to probably get one of the single user mobile inet cards/usb adapters for my laptop and use my 200 gigs for mobile radio while im driving. Any suggestions/experiences are greatly appreciated. -----signature----- T C M In-Game as Bluballz or Vash

	As far as I know, only Sprint's got unlimited data. Virgin Mobile (a subsidiary of Sprint) also has unlimited data, but it's cheaper to get an Android phone with $35/m plan (no contract) than the $50/m (no contract) usb gadget. If you root the phone, you can use wireless tethering (or wired tethering, on some phones). I have an Epic on Sprint that I use to tether my notebook/tablet to on the go. -----signature----- Hazridi of WE, VT, HG, SC Decal Core Dev - http://www.decaldev.com - Beta at http://www.decaldev.com/beta

	Thanks for the info. Definently want sprint/subsidiary. They seem to have better 3g coverage along the interstates than at&t. Going to attempt mobile macroing. :-) Does sprint have some way to lock out tethering on their phones? I ask because with my current at&t android phone i found a non-market app that lets me tether and masks it. -----signature----- T C M In-Game as Bluballz or Vash
