Have you ever been somewhere and wished you could get on the internet, but not had a way to do that? Wireless hotspots are in many places, but they are not everywhere. Hotspots are fairly easy to find in cities, what about smaller towns or rural areas? How about in a park, by a lake or by the ocean?

Until fairly recently, the options for wireless internet were limited to hotspots and air cards. Many coffee houses, cafes, libraries, airports, universities and even grocery stores like Randalls have hotspots. Air cards are another option. These are devices that plug into a laptop that access the internet through mobile phone service. They are reliable and fast, but the data plans can get expensive.

Smart phones hit the market and have gotten faster, better and more feature and application rich than ever. People can surf the internet on smart phones, but the screens are small. If someone is just looking for a phone number, a business location or anything else that does not require a larger screen, smart phones are fine, but what about other uses of the internet like watching videos and looking at photos? For my Austin real estate business, how about being able to access the MLS? That would be great to have on a larger screen.

Well now all of this is possible through a business called WOW Mobile. WOW Mobile offers a mobile phone plan that gives users unlimited anytime minutes in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, unlimited email, unlimited texting and unlimited data transfer (internet) for $89.95 per month. How about mobile or wireless internet access? Rather than have an air card with an expensive monthly data plan, the phone that goes with this tethers to the internet. Basically, this means the mobile phone acts as a wireless modem anywhere the user has a signal. This phone can be used with a laptop if a user is remote or on a desktop if at home or at an office. If fact, it can tether to up to 5 computers at a time.

Hotspots and air cards are great, but they are not enough for many people. Mobile professionals, students and anyone who travels with a laptop should be able to find an easier and more convenient way to get wireless internet access
