Hi

thanks for all your ideas,

this is just in the planning stages now , as setting up a 3G netbook and trying to get it to work in many countries seems to be an "art"

plus it all needs to be prepaid which is a problem in some countries (USA is one of them)

I have an old unlocked Nokia phone and D2 sim for Germany , its worked fine for 4 years ,

the G3 thing is only for Data as far as I need it , but it would be interesting to know if G3 works for voice and data at the same time, just in case.

I have an ATT Sierra 881 USB stick that I got at a yard sale , once I figure out how to unlock it (I have not tried yet) and test that it works (anyone know how to test it ?) then I will have that set-up,

Another problem is that most of the world uses 3G 2100 , but of course the USA uses 3G 1900 , and it looks like Mexico uses 3G 850,
so you need a set-up that will do all of them .

Anyway I am learning a lot , keep it going

Thanks
