Hi all,
My laptop (HP CTO DV2200) only has ExpressCard/54 slot. In order to use Verizon, please recommend some cards to me.
Also, can I buy cards from other retailers instead of Verizon?
Thanks! |

| You can buy a card at Verizon and then play "phone tag" and "hit and miss" if you have any problems. However, if you just jump over to http://3gstore.com/ you can purchase the card, service, etc. and get instant phone (and e-mail) support! Just give them a call and they will recommend and support (after the sale). I don't work for 3GStore but have experienced fantastic support whenever I have had a problem. |

| I am not sure if you can use an Alltel card and activate on Verizon, where VA recently bought Alltel. There was a recent post here that said you can't activate a Sprint card on a Verizon account. One option you now have is to pick up a used PCMCIA or express card on Ebay or Craigslist and take advantage of the Verizon's new no contract option. |

| Most express cards in 34 format will also work in a 54 slot. Your laptop doesn't have a USB slot? |
