Simply the answer is no. With an Air card you must purchase the car as well as the service that provides you with internet. It is somewhat like a cell phone, you can have a cell phone but that doesnt mean you will get free phone calls. On the other hand you can have a wireless card and pick up a wireless signal that someone is broadcasting. Although this can be considered illegal.
