I am looking at Nurit 8000 and want to know how I know if it is gprs. Is it written on the back of the machine?

Does CDMA provide better wireless C/C processing on a Nurit or Exadigm 8100 POS unit than GPRS? Will someone help me with this? I can’t get my sales rep to respond from my current merchant host provider!! Help! Jan – Prescott AZ

Jan, I own a processing company in Prescott,AZ. The GPRS networks can generally handle just about everywhere. Make sure the terminal you have has a store and forward function. That way, even if you don’t get reception, you will still get a swiped rate when you get back in range and the transaction downloads.

Does anyone know if I can use the SIM card from my Cingular phone (with data plan) to get the 8000G on the GPRS network?

I live in Prescott Arizona and I am looking at new wireless equipment. I need a unit that will receive a radio signal in Prescott and/or Sierra Vista AZ. I am looking into the new Exidigm 8100 which may provide a radio signal here in Prescott. Any suggestions from other wireless business owners in remote areas of the country will be appreciated! Thank you! Jan

Jamie, you wrote: “Wireless credit card terminals currently operate on three wireless networks; the Motient, Mobitex, and GPRS Edge networks.” NOT TRUE
I am with Commerciant. We sell (and you can too) our Mobilescape 3000 (CC only) and Mobilescape 5000 (CC and Check conversion). The M5000 is the first of its kind on the market. Both units operate on the CDMA technology, currently the Sprint network. Some techies say the Qualcomm’s CDMA technology is superior to GPRS for data transmission. If your interesting in selling our solution, you may contact me or Marc Beauchamp, our VP Indirect Sales. Incidentally, you have a VERY impressive blog and web marketing program. We would welcome the opportunity to visit with you.
Also, I had drafting something earlier in your “comment” section, but I don’t find it now. If you receive two posts from me, I apologize for the confusion.

Does anyone know if Mobitex coverage at the San Diego Convention Center or Anaheim Convention Center? It would be nice if someone could build a site that had Convention Center specific coverage info, as those are locations where merchants would frequently use such wireless devices. The providers only have general zip code level coverage info.

Thanks!
