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).
•
Proximity to a CDMA network - You must be within the
coverage area of a CDMA network on which 1x-EV-DO
and 1xRTT has been implemented, in order to use the
AirCard.
•
Service provider - If you are within the coverage area of a
network that is not operated by your own service provider,
you can only obtain service 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.
Most service providers have coverage maps on their web sites.
Unless your AirCard has been pre-activated, Watcher automat-
ically detects that no account has been configured when you
run it for the first time. Watcher then runs the Activation
Wizard to guide you through the activation and configuration
process. (See Chapter 3 for complete steps on Activaton).
