I'm putting this on the budget board since it seems a reasonable price alternative to internet access while traveling if you only want a small amount (I think! ? )
I use VM for my cell phone. I just found this while mucking around their site.
I know NOTHING about wireless internet, wi-fi, etc. I'm trying to figure out, if I use this, will I incur any fees at my resort (ASMu)? Sorry, I'm a techno-newb

$10 10 DAYS 100 MB
$20 30 DAYS 250 MB
$40 30 DAYS 600 MB
$60 30 DAYS 1 GB
WHAT'S INCLUDED
I am bringing dd's laptop anyway to transfer pictures from our cameras at the end of the day, so I'm thinking I would get the $20/30 day for our trip (2 weeks long), just to keep in touch with work email in case they have any emergencies). But I don't want to get some ginormous secret charges on my room when I check out
Thanks for any help!
