Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"As someone who doesn't reside in the USA, I was wondering what would be the best way to get internet for my computer in the US for a couple of weeks? If it were Europe I know I'd look for some prepaid data. Is there anything similar offered by American carriers? A MiFi or a data SIM that I can tether from would work, but I'm trying to maintain a tight budget. Help!"
Three years late, but I still feel the need to reply. :D
My daughter is six years old, she has severe CP that effects her entire body, she is in a wheel chair and can only communicate verbally through yes and no.
Not sure how well you can talk, but try going the next week with only saying yes and no. If you want something...you will have no way of letting anyone know. If you are thirsty, hungry, uncomfortable in any way...you have no way of telling anyone. BUT - if you are lucky enough to have someone see you and they realize you need something...they go through a set of questions and all you can reply with is yes and no. Do this for a week and then decide again if $6,000 is to much. For some people that these communication devices are for, they can not even say as much as yes and no. My daughter is one of the lucky ones.
We've only been using the Tango for a month, but so far it's been great. She uses head switches that are mounted off her head rest, and the computer is mounted in front of her, the small size if it is nice as she can still see around it and people can still see her when they talk with her.
Personally, I'd pay double the price. I'd sell my car and take the bus everywhere if it meant my daughter could play Candy Land with me (her favorite game now) or tell me goodnight and that she loves me.
