Wireless Internet in Europe

[ICE123]

Does anyone know if my Sierra wireless Air Card will work in Europe? Thanks for any help :)

It depends. They make some wireless cards that work there and some that don't. Of course, you need a data plan that covers the area also.

 

Which card to you have?

I have the 595U -wireless high speed capable (EVDO) -thnaks

Sorry, it won't work. Europe is GSM; EVDO is CDMA. Completely different, I'm afraid.

 

Also, wrong frequencies.

I know this is not exactly what you are looking for but wifi is becoming much more available in Europe now. All the Greek towns we visited had it in the town square. There are internet sites that will tell you where to look for a signal.

thanks-what about the signal from the ship's internet-will that work?
