I was thinking of getting alltel UTStarcom-PC5750 on ebay for like $55 . It can connect to evdo rev a and i just wanted to make sure the tower i connect to is rev a. I corrently connect with my Razor V3c With a usb cable and the windows xp dial connection (No software). So is there any like commands or software or anything i can do to make sure the version is rev a?

Also anyone hear of buying a data card on ebay and then buying a pcmcia pci adapter and using it on a desktop?

BTW do you need a voice plan to get the $59.99 unlimited data?

And do you need a contract even if you buy your own data card on ebay?

i don't want verizon because of there download limit. I normally download like 5gbs in a 4 days not a month.

I talked with altel and they said they do, use verizons towers for evdo. Btu they where unable to tell me if the tower i connect to is rev a or how i cna figure out if they are.

SO idk

Unless you're in Dublin, Georgia it's not likely a Rev. A cell site. Alltel's Rev. A coverage is nearly nonexistent.
