Answer 1

Hi cbabymj

You can purchase a wireless card. I have ans tested Verizon's products and happy with it. I have posted some links for you to review on wireless products.

Good luck

Update: the only problem with a wireless network card is that your limited with connection. You can't take your laptop to the beach with a wireless network card unless the area has a wireless router setup. With a wireless card you can be anywhere and not tied to a cafe or a hotel to get access. you can be in a car driving or in a bus.

Answer 2

You could buy a new phone that has similar functions. Or some cell phone companies offer a service that allows you to put a special wireless card that gives you access to a internet connection just about anywhere when away from home. Both would cost you monthly fees of course.

I would just suggest you get a normal wireless network card and find internet cafes and such for internet access on the go. This would not cost you monthly fees.
