Broadband Card - Plans? Activation? Existing Account?
I bought a vostro laptop with the broadband card built in for a manager that travels 100 % of the time. He already has a USB modem for his current HP laptop, and I asked if we could still use that account on the built in broadband moble. I was told SURE. I don't see a way to do that. It just wants me to activate the card. Well, I don't want to activate the card without knowing what the plan is. The description says "2 year agreement upon activation" but I can't find anywhere what kind of plan i'm agreeing to. I think I saw somewhere it's built into the cost of the laptop. but I can't find that anywhere now.
Anyone know - if I can use my current plan or i've paid for the plan with the new laptop already!!! :emotion-9:

You bought a laptop with a mobile broadband card, and you don't remember which ISP you choose ????
I suggest you call Dell and ask or try looking it up on Dell's website using the Service Tag #.

The Vostro sales site says this:
Mobile Broadband
Mobile broadband allows you the freedom to stay connected almost anywhere you go. Simply select a mobile broadband card for your laptop and activate service with your preferred carrier. Upon receipt of your system, simply call Dell's wireless activation center at 1-800-228-6303 to activate your service. GPS functionality does not require carrier activation.
Call that number to get help with this. The broadband card is free and you pay for the 2 years of service.
