But do you know the price of a card only?
They are between 350 and 500 Euro.
My problem is, that Bouygues Telecom (France) give up for
there unlimited Internet access (79 Euro per month) the
"Sierre Wireless 755" for free which does not support UMTS
and it is Sim-Locked.
Do you know, how to Un-Lock such cards?
What I want is to Un-Lock and sell it to get a better Sierra
Wireless "Air Connect 860" or an Ericson.

Not right, All of my On-Board serial ports support up to 460 kbps.
The Maximum of EDGE is 384 kbps but no GSM-Provider support it.
Mostly 200 kbps.

I know, because I was in Offenburg/Germany and Vodaphone told
me they will give us at 06/2006 1.5 MBit for 59 Euro (Home-Zone)

The problem is, that I have no Bank account in Germany which mean,
I can not get a german GSM Card.
As I have written allready, I have a GSM-Modem for 56 kbps but it
does not support GPRS. I need a Serial-Modem because I have no
PCMCIA on the Laptop I use in this country.
Finding allready a Serial-GSM-Modem which support GPRS/EDGE is fine.
Note: The Laptop must send some measuring datas and some
images in regulary intervals (Stand Alone) with
arround 4 MByte for each call (one per hour).
