Well I have an additional way to connect to the board. :good

In the past, I've been able to check my PM's through my Sprint phone.  It's something like $15 a month for internet access, but it's very slow and VERY limited when the browser is concerned. :(

I just got a cable and software to connect my laptop to my phone to give me more flexibility.  I just checked my connection speed and it was 223.9 kbps! :good  That blows away my crappy AOL dial up connection at Havasu. :good  

I just wonder if there will be an additional charge? :stupid  Does anyone else utilize this? :stupid

I'm currently using my laptop's browser and I think I'm covered under the $15 extra I pay per month for Sprint Vision.

My cell phone does NOT work in Parker though, ever. :(  It works in Havasu though.  I've never found a spot yet where it didn't work there.

What model phone do you have?  When I was installing the software, I believe I saw Verizon phones listed as well. :good

The only thing is different phones use different data cables.  Mine was $29.95 including the software. :D

As an update, I tried to read the fine print for my plan and my fast access speed might be an additional charge. :eek  If it ends up being so, I can always connect at the regular phone modem speed with no additional charges.  I guess I won't really know until I get the bill. :eek
