I have a GRPS card for Tmobile if you are interested. It is slow though, very slow.

i don't think the pc cards have sim cards, i don't see how you can take them apart
maybe you just want a cell phone with a usb connection to a laptop to get internet on your laptop

Are you looking for a HSPA card since you have a sim card? Do you already have service?

hmmm I thought it works like this: sim card inserted to PC card, then pc card connected to laptop or to router that supports it
This is not in the US though (south east asia) so maybe it is slightly different

EDGE is the fastest that T-Mobile has deployed (in this country), and it's not exactly 3g. Cingular is currently rolling out UMTS/HSDPA rapidly, and that's a true 3g network.

You're right about how it works. There's a sim card slot on the side of the card, and you can push a small button and the sim pops out.
I actually have a Sierra Wireless 860 card that I need to sell, as I bought a laptop with built in HSDPA, but it looks like it's only compatible with Cingular.

I'm not sure if it's locked, but it only operates on the 850 and 1900Mhz frequencies, which are used only in the US. I look at Sierra Wireless's site and you'd need the 875 card (or a 850 card, which only supports European frequencies), and you'll need some luck to find one.

crap you are right.. damn so I need to buy the card in Asia.
Do you know anything about the router? I dont think it matters where I buy the router, as long as it takes in the PC card, correct? also the damn routers are still $$$... more than $300 for one

Are you going to put a 3G pc-card in a router to spread the access to a bunch of computers? That's the first time I've ever heard of someone doing that.
