Default Verizon USB727 Modem?

Take a look at 3GStore.com. They sell all the Verizon data devices and
offer great pre- and post-sales support.

I have a UM150 USB device, simply because it was free after rebate and
works with an inexpensive WiFi router they sell. Even if you plan to use
the data card with only one laptop, it's sure convenient to leave it
plugged into a WiFi router rather than having it sticking out the side
of the laptop, especially if you have a cable for an external antenna
plugged into the USB device.

If you travel, don't buy a device that doesn't have a provision for an
external antenna. In our current location, we have excellent Verizon
voice service, but I can't get a decent data signal without the antenna.
I use a $20 mag-mount antenna stuck to a ceiling speaker in the motor
home.
