How to Connect to Xbox Live Through the Sprint Card

Xbox Live is an Internet service of Xbox 360. Owners of an Xbox 360 can get connected to the Internet through a free or paid Xbox Live account. This allows you to play games with other players from different locations. Usually, players access Xbox Live through a Wi-Fi connection, but if you only have a Sprint card on your laptop, you can still access Xbox Live. Using a Sprint card is like having a modem attached to your laptop, so you will need to plug in the Xbox 360 to the laptop to use the connection.
