AirCard USB Modem User Guide

Note: The fee for service is usually higher when you are roaming (connected to a network other than the one belonging to your service provider).

When establishing a connection, your AirCard USB Modem uses the fastest available service. Your ability to obtain service depends on these factors:

Network coverage—You must be within the network coverage area.

Service provider—If you are within the coverage area of a network that is not operated by your own service provider, you can obtain service only if there is a roaming agreement between your service provider and the network operator.

Account provisions—Your account may restrict your usage to certain networks or limit the amount of time you can use the network.

Frequency band—You cannot connect to networks operating in bands not supported by your modem, regardless of roaming agreements or account provisions.

Most service providers have coverage maps on their web sites.
