Verizon Wireless Internet

[Manu]

Someone told me that I could buy wireless internet for my laptop for a daily rate of $15 a day (I know that is not a good price but I only need it for one day). I've spoken to quite a few reps, some who know about it but say I'm talking to the wrong person, and some who have never heard about it. Does anyone know more info about this?

Just get a monthly plan and cancel after a day

I am not so comfortable doing that, I don't mind paying the $15, I just don't know how.

Well do yuo have the wireless card already? Cause i'm not sure thy supply that for 1 day.

[Manu]

No, I don't how much does that cost?

Ye that's about $200-300, basically if you had one you can then sign up without a contract, so you wont be doing anything wrong by canceling. So now the only thing that you can really do is sign up and cancel, unless some-1 else knows something else.

I had the same problem i wanted to sign up for 2 weeks but i would of had to buy a card which made it not worth it, so i singed up and canceled i just paid for wtvr i used (prorated).

depending on your phone, you can use it as a modem tethered via usb cable to your laptop (or bluetooth, etc), and use that instead of a laptop card.

You'd need to add Verizon's data plan to your phone along with the tethering option (they'll know what this is).

actually, for just a day of use, I think you can just DO it, and they'll charge you per kb. Its expensive, but if you don't want to add/cancel for a day of unlimited use, that's probably your only option.

What's the big deal about adding it and dropping it a day later? They usualyl pro-rate the charge per day.

When I purchased my dell laptop with a built-in Verizon card, there was an option to purchase internet for 24 hours, for $15. Verizon doesn't really know about it, it's sort of a thing that you do through the software. I think it may have been a special Dell-Verizon deal. I don't know if it's still available and I don't know how you can get it again, but going through Dell should be the first place you look.
