Travel and WiFi

rber9595

So I travel for work and some of the hotels that i go to dont have free wireless internet access in the rooms.  I want to be able to skype with my daughter while i am away.  This year i am traveling 6 weeks in a 4 month span.  a week at a time.  What can i buy so that i can have internet access where ever i am?  And what is the cheapest?  I heard there are USB type devices and such that you would be able to do this but i dont know anything about them.  I would be connecting via a netbook if that matters.

I have the Verizon personal wifi and it is great. you can use it wireless (i use it for my ipad) or with a USB (which I've done for my netbook). It can support up to 5 devices at a time and I've never had a problem with it. I think I get 3 gb a month and its like $25.  A lot of phones with data plans (blackberries, iphones) can be set up to piggy back off them as well.  you can call your cell provider if you have a smart phone.  Good luck!

hmmm i don't know about that one. I would call verizon and see if there is any way you can "tether" it... if not, the wifi thing I got (I think it my be called MyFi or something) is great.

you should be able to add that to your data plan. Call Verizon and ask about tethering. Verizon's is called a Myfi.
