all the time. i wouldn't try to download a distro over it but I can<br>
log in to both my employers' VPNs and work fairly well. I have a Pearl<br>
and a Dash. Actually, my Pearl is exclusively for internet access. It<br>
ended up being 50 bucks whereas the internet access card costs $150.<br>
My service is around $140 per month with 2 phones, 800 min, MyFaves,<br>
and truly unlimited data on both phones.Verizon and AT&T both have a 5<br>
GB per month limit. I think. Don't quote me.<br>
<br>
Also, I have had nothing but good experiences with T-mobile support.<br>
The first line personnel will get you to data support right away.<br>

Einstein never accepted quantum mechanics<br>
because of this element of chance and uncertainty.<br>
He said: God does not play dice. It seems that Einstein was doubly wrong.<br>
The quantum effects of black holes suggests that not only does God play dice,<br>
He sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.<br>
