Companies that operate CDMA networks and provide access to these networks are called service providers. You must have an account with a CDMA service provider to use the PC3320.
Note: You can use the Lock Code feature to prevent others from using your account should your PC3320 card be stolen. See the online help for information on this feature.
Each service provider has its own pricing options. There may be flat rate accounts, which provide you a maximum number of minutes of network usage for a fixed monthly fee. There may be accounts for which you are charged for network usage by the minute or by the amount of data transmitted.
Your account may include a variety of other services such as SMS messaging.
