Buying Sprint Sierra Lowest Price

Sierra Wireless Lightning 305 AT&T GSM USB aircard
Review by Michael R. Restagno : works for me

I purchased this item for occasional use. I bought it third party because I didn't want to lock into a plan. I have 2 cell phones (1 personal, and 1 business). When I need to get on the web from a remote location, I set call forwarding on my personal cell to the work cell, then pull the Sim out, and install it into this modem. We were recently on vacation, and the WiFi in the hotel was very bad. This device saved the day. I'll probably only use it less than 10 times per year, but for 40 bucks and my data plan work-around, it's worth it.

Review by 4sweetpea : Perfectly acceptable Access!

I am currently tethering my laptop to the internet with my Blackberry and am LONGING for my Sierra Wireless USB Lightning. Why oh why did I make the change? Shoot me now! The Sierra Lightning was so easy, consistent, reliable, and much more than adequate. But I thought AT & T made it expensive. I discovered, after selling my Sierra Lightning USB card on Amazon.com, that I saved a grand total of $4.95 to make the switch to a second line with an unlimited data plan. That may mean more to some of you who use your computers more, but I use mine for business and personal use AND I'm writing a book, so I use my laptop a lot. After I made the switch, I found out that the closest Wi-Fi spot to me is a McDonald's 6 miles away and, when I browse for other spots, I'm offered places like Cape May, N. J. (I live in Bethany Beach, DE), so I'm using data time all the time anyway. With the Sierra USB Card, all I had to do was have the card and laptop, then travel and work, shop, answer emails, or update my website where ever I wanted to go. The Sierra USB card was the perfect size to slip into my purse or pocket and I didn't have to fidget with cords and worry whether or not I had enough bars constantly. It was like cyber comfort food. Give me back my Sierra Wireless USB Card! I'd love to be struck by Lightning twice!..

Review by Magecca : Great

Device is heavy and is very well constructed. The jointed USB hinge is very useful in many situations. I use the Sierra Wireless branded wireless software and is better than the at&t branded software suite. If you are using this with a mobile phone SIM (not a data-only SIM) the APN's are widely available on the web and do work. I am using this with my iPhone SIM, personally. I get pretty good signal strengths and tested with DSL reports getting very good speeds (greater than tethering to an iPhone,) rating in the megabytes per second. I am very satisfied with this product and have already recommended it to several colleagues.

One thing to note; The vendor I purchased this from advertised it as new but it arrived in non-manufacturer packaging (some generic cell phone package) and was without the USB extension and display mounting clip that would have otherwise been provided with a new and manufacturer packaged item.
