Cellular/Data/USB Cards (Verizon, Virgin Mobile Broadband...)
 

These USB data cards by the cellular companies are the best thing ever, but if I have 2 computers sitting next to each other each with thier own USB device and account, is there any way they can be linked by being in the same location? GPS? Other ways...? Or am I just being paranoid?

Always wondered the same...

I don't think so. But which USB/DATA Broadband are you using? Verizon and virgin mobile? And how much are you paying for each? It is a good option but it's pretty costly.

Depends on whether you want prepaid or postpaid. I use both and they are awesome and the most convenient option possible.

I use prepaid, it's 40/50 per month (depending on if you activated it in January or after) and if you use it, it's worth it. Plus with prepaid you can leave it "off" for a month and have another one "on". Virgin Mobile (sprint) or Verizion.... anyone have an opinion or edjucated guess whether they show a location or something like that? Thanks!

I believe they show a different and random location and no you can't be linked, specially if you are using 2 different computers with their own USB device. Either way, I've heard of people use 1 USB device on 1 computer with no problems.

If you wonder about ip location, then just trace route your IP. google it and you will find plenty of free sites that do it. I use Verizon iPhone (for amazon). 5 active accounts with diff ips and haven't had a single problem it just says iPhone and my state.
