    Been looking all over for somewhere that has one in stock for my m11x r1. I'm on an iPhone for Internet right now an having trouble finding something compatible ( I've been through old threads and been doing this for an hour). Anyone mind hitting me a link to a couple good cards? Thanks!

    Probably AT&T.

    seeing as you have an iphone, you can always connect your iphone to your R1 through USB port.

    You can then use mobile broadband on your lappy through your phone.

    I think he is looking for a dedicated option. Although its not that difficult to just connect up the phone every time he wants to get on the internet while mobile, I could see why someone would want to find a full time option.

    I have a grandfathered AT&T unlimited data plan. If I can add tethering option without having to take a cap this will work, but I think they'll make me change my data plan to add tethering.

    If AT&T finds out you are tethering without their plan, they will tell you to stop or to add their plan. If you continue to tether, they will automatically enroll you into their tethering plan. If you do it infrequently with small amounts of data they won't notice.
