What are you guys using for air cards/internet sticks? I am heading to Sask Monday morning and need internet. Hoping to find one that I can rent as I will only need it for two weeks. Any help greatly appreciated, sorry for the short notice. Thank:d

I have a Telus AirCard 595 and was in Saskatchewan fishing a tournament earlier this month. I tried it in Kindersly, Saskatoon and Nipiwin with no luck. It apperantly doesn't work with Sasktel, I never called Telus to find out if there was a problem or reason why it wouldn't work over there.

I got a sasktel one if your interested. Its the new narrow style one. It works good everywere that i needed it to. there is no contract with it as i bought it out. Its a merlin X720. I used it for 2 months then my boss decided to buy me one since he didnt want to pay me for mine anymore.

Well mine didn't, like i wrote I didn't look into why. It works fine everywhere else including most recently Quebec since I've been to Sask, but it didn't work in Sask at all. All over the states and Canada no problem, when in Sask problem. Just saying.

I have one from Bell. I have not run into a time where it has not worked yet.. They also have a decent price. The only bad thing, is that it is not a pay as you go contract..Some months I don't use it but still have to pay for it. I think they have changed since then..

Be sure you have the latest software on your aircard. It made a significant difference when I updated my 595.
