Susie,
Yes it is an internet stick. Alot of the cellular companies around here
refer to them as the air card. A friend of mine who is sighted had hers
through another company and also said that there is a connect button screen
before entering the internet on hers as well. Mine was through the widely
known A T & T and hers was through Cricket. I spoke with technical support
and the disability office at A T & T and got no resolution just a bill for
the first thirty days of not being able to use my air card. I sent a message
to my friend and she retyped it to her companies tech support and we never
did recieve a response. Should you get an air card to try and see that it is
not going to work ask them to see which amount is lower your usage cost or
the monthly fee. that is one good thing about AT&T they allowed me to only
pay for usage which I thought was fair instead of the monthly contract fee.
Unless these companies have changed their connect button at the beginning
of your internet session JAWS is not going to read the connect button.
Another thing someone should be aware of is they advertise sixty dollars a
month however my first bill was around one hundred and fifteen dollars until
I got it adjusted for just the usage.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] USB BROAD BAND STICK A.K.A. AIR CARD
To the user inquiring about the broadband stick or as I will call it the
air card. The air card I purchased and then returned before my thirty day
trial expired was accessible. However, there was a connect button before
you could get into the internet that sighted help was required. I only
returned the air card because tech support for the cellular company was
not aware of a way to fix this problem and I needed it for times that
sighted help was not always available.
