Alltel and Windows ME

I am in my trail period with Alltel using the Kyocera card. The drivers and software all loaded, but the software to make the connection does not see the card. I am aware that the software is certified on windows XP&2000. Because of the age of the laptop and because I am planning of using the card with the Kyocera router, I am not willing to upgrade to WindowsXP. Is there a way that I can finish configuring and setting up the modem so that I can install it in the router?

In order to use any EVDO Card in a Kyocera KR1, the card needs to be activated in a supported laptop once, and then it will work in the KR1.

We offer pre-activation at no charge for those ordering Verizon cards from us. We will soon offer it for Sprint customers wanted to use a card with a KR1. For Alltell, you need to find a supported laptop to activate it once, before it will work in the KR1.

Take your card back to the store, they can program it for you to use in the router until you get your laptop upgraded.

Thanks for the information. I was able to activate the card by borrowing a laptop from someone.
