I am been using Sapido GR1100 for mobile broadband router, see <a href="http://www.sapido.com.tw/EN/product_3.5g.htm">http://www.sapido.com.tw/EN/product_3.5g.htm</a>. I bought it from Bizgram, 5th floor Sim Lim Square.<br>

I am still in the dark ages of using Singtel broadband over the phone line,<br>
and the occassional Wireless@SG. So for those enlightened folks on the list<br>
who are already on Mobile broadband, I have a few questions:<br>
<br>
- My objective is to send SMS from a linux machine and use data traffic (~<br>
300MB/mo). I don't want an expensive subscription, pay per usage is fine.<br>
<br>
- I don't mind paying for the hardware. Choices are USB modems (many<br>
problems?) or Mobile Broadband routers : Having "enjoyed" poor service from<br>
Singtel, I will not do any further business with them, so I checked M1 and<br>
found that they have two broadband router products:<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>My own answer to a similar problem is:</div><div>- retain wired broadband, cos wired performance >> wireless performance </div>
<div>- send sms using scripted interaction with the starhubgee website (see starhubGeeSms on <a href="http://autosms.uuuq.com" target="_blank">http://autosms.uuuq.com</a>)</div><div>- use Wireless@SGx where available</div>
<div>- leverage on my mobile phone's 3G broadband (I'm using joikuspot with my symbian-based phone to share its 3G connection over wifi - similar software exist with other phone OS) So I'm currently paying ~ $5/mth for the 10 mths in the year that 10MB of traffic suffices, which comes in handy for all those times where a notebook is not necessary or available. It's also capped at ~ $30/mth for the rare cases where I do need more traffic (eg, when I'm stuck in camp serving my reservist duties).</div>
