However, it would be possible to get one of those wireless "bridges" that they use for an XBox and such and use them to create a wired network (or another wireless).

Yes, you can use the device without a router.

No, it's not tied to the cell phone in any way, other than the fact that it may use the same tower.
Do you know how the Frankin modem performs as compared to the Sierra 595U? The cheaper monthly fee plus the email accounts makes a viable option.

You might want to check other options for routers for the modem, as I believe I read that one of the linksys worked just fine and it was way cheaper.

Call Franklin and ask what is compatible]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-Contract-Reseller-19374736 Sat, 03 Nov 2007 01:38:05 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-Contract-Reseller-19373577 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-Contract-Reseller-19373577 Fri, 02 Nov 2007 21:28:45 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-Contract-Reseller-19223200

And if you read their contract it states, you can return the modem at any time and will not be charged anymore monthly fees. But you must send back all of the equipment in the box. I do not believe you get a refund on the modem and/or shipping? Then after one year of service you do not have to send the modem or anything back. Its yours to keep

So why not do this: Get sprint for a few weeks like I did, then make sure it works good for you. If so, call Millenicom, order service and once it gets there, take your Sprint back. But make sure you do it before the 30 days is up. And go to a store otherwise you will be charged shipping from the online site.

Word of warning!!! If you do thi, Check your next Sprint bill, they had not taken my pro rated first 2 weeks nor the monthly charge for the next month off. They had only taken off the cost of the Sierra modem. I had to call them to get it removed. It was over $85 and a 1 plus phone call.

There isn't very many months that there is NOT an extra charge on my Sprint cell phone bill in which I have to call to get the charges removed.
