How to get a Data Plan for a Macbook

I have a 2008 white Macbook, and am looking to get a data plan to connect to the internet while in a rural area that has excellent cell-phone reception. I see that companies like Verizon and AT&T have data plans, but I can't figure out what I need to actually have and do to make those plans work on my Macbook.
Do I need a special card or any other additional hardware?
What is a good data plan that has no annual contract?
How do I actually go about signing up for it (the wireless companies' websites are confusing)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm with Verizon and they have USB devices that work very well for what you want to do. I admit that the website is not to good for finding information but if you can go into a Verizon Store, they will be able to get you fixed up on a data plan which usually includes a free USB device. I suggest Verizon as a carrier because AT&T's rural coverage is not to good.

  • Is there ANYWAY for Loyal Customers to get 4GB data plan for $30

    Is there ANYWAY for Loyal Customers to get 4GB data plan for $30. I just got a new upgrade, but I really want the 4GB, because 2GB is very little (for a Smartphone and its multiple capabilities). PLEASE HELP VERIZON!!!!
    - from your LOYAL customers.

    Did you upgrade to a 4G phone? The double data deal is only for 4G phones.
    Additionally, this is for ALL 4G phones, even if you are not upgrading. If you currently have a 4G phone which is on the 2GB tiered plan, you can sign into My Verizon and change it to the double data deal. At least it will let me change a 4G phone I have which was purchased last May to the double data deal.

  • How do I get a data plan for my iPad in Paris?

    I'm travelling to Paris at the end of the month and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me the names of carriers that sell SIM card data plans for iPads, and if there are any special things to be aware of.

    I know with a new iPad it is usually a simple matter to use the Settings app on the iPad.
    Settings > Cellular Data > there's a link to set up your account.
    If it doesn't show call your carrier and ask to set up an account there.
    If you want to have your iPad share an account with your cell phone call your carrier.

  • Looking to get a data plan for the sole purpose of playing online video games

    Hi everyone,
    I live in the mountains of Pine Valley, CA and the seclusion is becoming intolerable.  I'm looking to get a data plan with Verizon to play online video games, namely Diablo 3 or failing that due to latency, then Civilization 5.  Can anyone give me pointers on if this would work and what plan I could get?  Currently, I have a plan with Boost Mobile which uses Sprint cell phone towers.  I tested my internet connection with speedtest.net and received a ping as low as 140 and as high as 1000, but I'm hoping the 1000 is just due to reception issues that can be fixed with a better antenna.    The 140 ping is a little high too but I'm hoping this will be better on the Verizon network since I think their cellphone towers are closer.  The closest landmark to me is the Golden Acorn Casino at 1800 Golden Acorn Way  Campo, CA 91906.  If anyone could tell me the distance from Verizon's cell tower to the casino and Sprint's and could estimate a ping value based on that, I would really appreciate it.
    I like Verizon's data plan for 10gb but I'm confused on device connectivity.  Is this the data plan plus whatever router device I hook it up to? I would also need some sort of antenna and a router, wireless or wired.  Can anyone give me pointers on how to find these?  An estimation on Ping and bandwith speed and also on peak hours in my area would be nice too.  Thanks to anyone that can help me with this!  Oh, and while I don't think my area has coverage for 4g, though I'm pretty sure there is 3g, would I possibly get 4g if I had a strong enough antenna?

    Homefusion comes with antenna that is mounted OUTSIDE of your dwelling. That why they send someone out to install it. It also comes with the router. You're thinking of Share Everything data only plans. Where you pay $20 for the mi-fi and then pay extra on the data pending how much you want.  Share Everything with a mi-fi and 10 GB would be $80 a month when you can get Homefusion for $60 for the same 10 GB. An considering the antenna is more power and outside you're a lot more likely to get reception with Homefusion. In either case it should be noted you'll need to pass a credit check and sign a two year contract.

  • How to get period date of for a given month from a given date in mdx for SSRS report (mm/dd/yyyy)

    I have a situation,  where i need to write expression Period to date(PTD). i want to know how to get the period date. i want you to help in writing Period date or else is there any function to get period date for a given date(the  date is given
    from the parameter dynamically) in MDX for SSRS report
    ram

    Hi ram,
    Per my understanding that you want to get the period date based on the month selected and the given date, right?
    Could you please provide details information below to help us better understanding your requirements, thus we will be more effective to provide an solution:
    What is the format of the period date you want to get, is this date in the DB and you want to filter it based on the month and the given Date?
    Did the month and given date are two parameters in the report? if possible, could you please provide some sample data in the DB and also the snapshot of the report structure
    I assume you want to get the period date(mm/dd/yyy) between the select month(e.g:Feb) and the given date (10/1/2014) and you should get the date between(02/01/2014-10/1/2014).
    If so,and you also have two parameter "Month","EndDate"(EndDate is the given date), please reference to details information below:
    You can create an new parameter "BeginDate" (Date/Time) which is the begin date of the period, you can use the expression to get the value based on the value of the month and the year value from the given date,finally hide this parameter:
    Specify the available value:
    Label:=Parameters!Month.Value &"/01/"& DatePart("yyyy",Parameters!EndDate.Value)
    Value:=CDate(=Parameters!Month.Value &"/01/"& DatePart("yyyy",Parameters!EndDate.Value))
    Specify the default Value:
    Value:=CDate(=Parameters!Month.Value &"/01/"& DatePart("yyyy",Parameters!EndDate.Value))
    Add filter to the dataset as below:
    Preview you will get all the date in the given Period:
    If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

  • HT4157 I do not have at t,I have xfinity,how do I get a data plan

    How to get a data plan on my iPad,I no longer have at t service,I have infinity.

    Xfinity is a cable provider that offers Internet and voice as well. If you don't have a 3G or 4G iPad, you don't have a data plan at all. Is your iPad a 3G or 4G iPad or WiFi only?
    If its Wifi only, the only reason that you would need a data plan is if you have a mobile hotspot like a MIFI device. AT&T data plan on the iPad would have nothing at all to do with having AT&T service for your home.

    You can query the AWR data if your interesting SQL consumes enough resources.
    Here is a SQL*Plus script I call MostCPUIntensiveSQLDuringInterval.sql (nice name eh?)
    You'll need to know the AWR snap_id numbers for the time period of interest, then run it like this to show the top 20 SQLs during the interval:
    @MostCPUIntensiveSQLDuringInterval 20The script outputs a statement to run when you are interested in looking at the plan for an interesting looking statement.

    Hi there,
    All services for BBs are delivered by the wireless service providers. In your case, Orange. So, ring them up and ask about their different plan options...choose the one that best meets your needs.
    Good luck!

    how to get changed data?
    Edited by: Ki-Joon Seo on Dec 27, 2007 6:04 AM

    Hi,
    To get only the changed data in the ALV grid of a WD, you need to capture the "ON_DATA_CHECK" of the ALV grid.
    To this please do the following in the ALV initialization of the ALV table settings :
        lr_table_settings->set_data_check(
                IF_SALV_WD_C_TABLE_SETTINGS=>DATA_CHECK_ON_CELL_EVENT ).
    You may also do this:
        lr_table_settings->set_data_check(            IF_SALV_WD_C_TABLE_SETTINGS=>DATA_CHECK_ON_CHECK_EVENT)
    The above two ways would depend on when do you need to check for the changed data. If you want to check the data as soon as it is entered, then use the first method. Else, use the second method.
    You need to register an EVENT HANDLER for this event.(You may do this in your VIEW or Component Controller).
    In this Event handler, you would find an importing parameter R_PARAM which is a ref type of      IF_SALV_WD_TABLE_DATA_CHECK.
    The attribute T_MODIFIED_CELLS of this interface IF_SALV_WD_TABLE_DATA_CHECK will contain the modified cells of the ALV with the old & new values.

  • How to get the date of first day of a week for a given date

    Hi gurus
    can any one say me how to get the date of first day(date of Sunday) of a week for a given date in a BW transformations. For example for 02/23/2012 in source i need to get 02/19/2012(Sunday`s date) date in the result. I can get that start date of a week using  BWSO_DATE_GET_FIRST_WEEKDAY function module. But this function module retrieves me the  start date as weeks monday(02/20/2012) date. But i need sundays(02/19/2012) date as the start date. So it would be really great if anyone sends me the solution.
    Thanks
    Rav

    Hi,
    The simplest way would be to subtract 1 from the date date which you are already getting in transformation routine, but instead of doing that subtraction manually which might need bit of errort, you can simply use another FM to subtract 1 from given date.
