| 171649 | 2003-08-29 12:04:00 | So do u reckon u could buy the card in America or would it be different technology - things appear so much cheaper in the States | frossy13 (4462) | ||
| 171650 | 2003-08-29 12:15:00 | Probably not. N America uses 1900hz band. NZ uses 900Hz. That's why u have single, dual and triple band cellphones. I doubt these cards are triband but u can always check. Between, I am not sure if u are after cellphone cards or the later GRPS Vodafone or CDMA Telecom Mobile Jetstream cards. All I can say is make sure u are getting the same product there as u get here.. |

| 171651 | 2003-08-29 12:33:00 | U sure u want this Jetstream on cellphone? $5 per MB!! Telecom Mobile Jetstream (www.telecom.co.nz) Vodafone is priced similar Telecom Mobile Jetstream (www.vodafone.co.nz) |

| 171652 | 2003-08-29 12:40:00 | These cards has their own antenna. Or u can get those cable solutions which tags onto the cellphone. Same thing basically. U seen that Telecom commercial with the New York music advert?? The guy sticks the card in the laptop and extend the antenna?? Yeah that thing ... Telecom has a plan ranging from 8c per 10KB traffic ($8 per MB), and plans which are cheaper per unit of data but u must pay a larger monthly fee of purchasing more MB's (prepurchase). |
