Customer Reviews

Perfect for using your broadband card at home...
I purchased one of these from Amazon in order to be able to use my Sprint broadband internet card (Pantech) in my home computer. Installation was a snap and after installing the Sprint Software on my home system, the card came up just like it did on my laptop. (Just remember to load the software BEFORE you insert the card.) If you are looking for a inexpensive way to get a bit more use from your broadband internet card, you should definitely try one of these!

Just what the doctor ordered!
Works great! I'm not up on computer technology but it fit right into the computer and was up and running within a matter of minutes. My verizon wireless card slides right in and allows me to now disconnect my over priced DSL or Lan line.

Over all pretty good
I got this thing so that I could use my Verizon internet card on my desk top, as I live in the boonies and we dont even have phone lines. I had a little trouble while first installing it, after putting it in the computer and turning the computer on I was getting the "beep code" turned it off then back on a couple times and it finally caught on. It didnt want to read the card that I put in it at first either. Had to shutdown and reboot yet again. But after that everything else seems to work fine. The other thing that you should probably know about this thing is that it forces you to put the card in upside down... nothing really wrong with that unless you have certain disorders. FYI, It kind of drives me nuts. But over all it seems to work well no problems since it was recognized properly. Enjoy
