    Hello,

    I know I am new, but I need a quick question answered. I am planning on switching from Verizon mobile broadband to AT&T mobile broadband for my laptop. I have a Dell Wireless 5720 VZW mobile broadband card with Verizon service. I need to know whether the same card would work with an AT&T subscription. If I could just enter my information into the program and connect to AT&T instead of Verizon that's what I'm looking for. Any help at all is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

    No, it won't. Verizon uses a completely different set of frequencies and standards than AT&T does. You will have to get a new mobile broadband card for AT&T, if that's even an option.
