ExpressCard Help Needed

Question

Hi there, I just received an Inspiron 1501 - I have wireless phone service thru Cingular so it was natural to contact them about a wireless card. They didn't even ask me which notebook I had, they just assigned me a Sierra card which arrived and didn't fit. Then I found out that I need an ExpressCard instead of the PCI - so now I find out Cingular doesn't have ExpressCard capability and I'm having trouble finding another provider so I can get the card and service.   I've checked Verizon, Vonage, and TMobile but can find no links to get me to an ExpressCard.   I'm guessing I'm just overlooking something but I really need to get my laptop connected - depending on wifi is getting me nowhere in my little town. Thanks for any help! Susan

Dell has just released Express Cards for the Cingular network.   You will have to check for compatibility, before buying, but see the following:   http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=313-4836   http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=313-4837   Steve

I posted both of those links in another thread and Dell-Gina stated that both would work in the expresscard slots.  For some reason both of those are listed to be for the Latitude notebooks but they should work in any expresscard slot.

Networking, Internet, & Bluetooth
