[Mickaboo Techlist] Phones

Does anyone else (other than me) have a phone with unlimited data service AND bluetooth (or some other way to connect to a laptop) who will be going to the holiday party?

If you are looking for a mean to get Internet access, I have a Verizon Wireless V740 ExpressCard with unlimited data service. It provides wireless Internet access at broadband speed. This card works both on Mac and PC. I don't know yet whether we'll be going to the holiday party, so it might be better that I give you the card before the party?

Paykar: I plan to tether my Verizon phone to my laptop for the first half of the party, and use it to let Mickaboo process credit cards. The problem is I may leave early before the silent auction ends, and they'll want to process CC #s after that. So, if I leave I need someone with the phone card AND access to their phone service (to get online) to manage the credit cards. Paykar Chamani wrote:

Matt: The newsletter is html. To save on time the first go, I can send it via the discussion group. I will have a link included in the newsletter for those who do not receive html email. Are there any problems sending html email to the discuss address? All the linkages are to the mickaboo site.

John is currently unavailable, but he has an iPhone that I think has internet access. Only he can tell you, truly, of its many features...... and at some length and with great pride. :-) AMuse wrote:

Awesome! Here's the plan, then. I will be setting up a mickaboo laptop (hopefully I have time!!) to connect to the web over my verizon phone and use a web interface to process credit card transactions. We're setting up the online merchant account tonight. However, I may have to go home before the party is over. If that's the case, I'll need someone with their cell phone to take the laptop over and continue processing the transactions until the party ends. The venue is not going to have internet connections as far as I know, thus the necessity for the cell phone data service. John, can I count you in as the backup network connection? :) John Graziano wrote:
