ScoutPal can be used with any web-enabled cell phone or wireless PDA.  Here are some tips for choosing one:
 

  • Your current cell phone may already be capable of using ScoutPal! Check with your service provider to get instructions for web browsing with your phone. Then try browsing to:
    http://waptest.scoutpal.com ("waptest" instead of "www")
    http://www.scoutpal.com/waptest (alternate test site)
    (Note that these URL's can only be used with a cell phone browser.)

    If you have a PDA, use the following test site: http://www.scoutpal.com/pdatest

    You will be asked to Enter and Send your Amazon Marketplace Seller Nickname.

  • When shopping for a new cell phone or PDA, ask for a working sample that has web browsing enabled. Write down the test URLs given above and bring them with you when you are shopping. Try the phone or PDA with the test website, while you are in the store.

     

  • MOST IMPORTANT: When considering a wireless service, make sure that it has good coverage in your bookscouting locations. Ask to see a map that describes these locations. Be wary if your bookscouting locations are on the fringes of the coverage area.

     

  • Links to coverage maps:

    IMPORTANT NOTE: All cellular carriers are constantly changing their information websites, service plans and prices, so the data and links below are subject to change.  Always check with the cell company directly to be sure that you get the right web service at the right price.

    Sprint/Nextel Sprint Power VisionSM Web Access packs vary in price, with unlimited data starting at $15/mo.   Nextel has an unlimited Data Access Pack for $10/mo. The ScoutPalSE system (phone and barcode scanner) is available on Nextel.
    T-Mobile The "t-zones" T-MobileWeb service provides unlimited web browsing for $5.99/mo.
    Verizon Mobile Web by VZW with MSN is $5/mo. Warning: Unlike other carriers, Verizon also charges airtime minutes from your calling plan as you browse the web.  Web browsing on a Verizon phone can get very expensive!
    AT&T (Cingular) The "MEdia Net" web service is billed by the megabyte.  Choose from MEdia Basic (1MB) or MEdia Works (5MB), or any of their higher-priced plans.  Each MB of data is good for about 500-700 ScoutPal lookups.
