HSDPA can send and receive data at the rate of 1.8 Mbps and can even reach a maximum data rate of 14.4 Mbps. Verizon Wireless and AT&T Wireless have 3G services accompanying their voice plans. These plans may range from paying a $30-$35 surcharge to your regular voice plan or getting a $50 plan that will be inclusive of all costs, voice calls and data downloads.
5. Accessing the Internet using mobile phone networks - There are other technologies now available, which include aircards, the EV-DO and Wi-Max. Aircards are PC cards serving as wireless modems that connect to the Internet using the mobile networks. Various types of aircards are being offered by mobile phone providers like Verizon, Sprint and AT&T together with their service plans. Using CDMA technology, aircards can reach speeds of 30-40 Kbps.
