The card is currently available in all Clearwire markets via authorized local retailers and national partners, Best Buy and Circuit City. Customers can also purchase the card online at www.clearwire.com or by calling 1-888-CLEARWIRE. Service plans for the Clearwire pc card start at $59.99 a month with a pc card lease fee of $6.99 a month.
