Communications On The Road

Our cell phone contract is up soon. Time to evaluate our options. Time to check in with expediters about their on-road communications. Your thoughts/suggestions are most welcome.

We'd like to spend more time on the Internet and at faster speeds than dialup provides. Ideal would be the ability for one of us to surf the web as the other drives. We were looking at laptops the other day. Some very attractive units on the shelf for less than $1,500. We're thinking about a TV card in the laptop so we can watch TV on it. Again, your thoughts/suggestions would be most welcome.

1. What cell phone/pager/Internet access services do you use on the road?

2. What are the pros and cons of those services?

3. If you had it to do over, would you make different choices?

4. What are your thoughts about services that provide (or claim to) the ability to be online while driving?
