Why Gmails new Free Calling + Sprint's 450 plan beats your iPhone

I just posted an article explaining the details of the powerful combo of Gmail Calling and the Sprint 450 Minute Plan. It shows you how to get Unlimited everything for a Smartphone or Android phone for just $69.99 a month instead of the normal $110+ most people pay for an iPhone every month. 

WikiAnswers - How to connect to xbox live with usb760

you need to get a mobile router that turns your USB760 into regular internet. Then, you can connect via wifi or an ethernet cable like you would with regular internet. Just make sure you stay within the Verizon 5GB data limit. Some of the best USB routers are made by cradlepoint like the ones found here: http://moremobileinternet.com/mobile-router

One of the more common questions is how to connect a game system like Xbox live or PSP player with a 3G or 4G USB card from Sprint, Verizon, T-mobile or AT&T. Well, you can't just plug them into the device directly. That is where a Mobile Router comes in. These allow you to convert the cellular modem card into regular Internet that any game system can then tap into via either Wifi or an Ethernet cable. Now, you can use these devices anywhere!

Verizon Cooking Up 3G Femtocell - Hopefully it won't be as awful as the last one

Check out this website I found at dslreports.com

This is about a Femtocell device that is like a mini cell phone tower in your house or office. It uses you home internet service (Cable or DSL) and then gives you a much stronger signal than your cell phone provider is giving you via their natural coverage. Great for those people with "Great coverage everywhere except my house"

Verizon Mobile Broadband Card Comparison: USB760 & UMW190

 This video compares two of the most popular Verizon Mobile Broadband USB cards, the USB760 and the UMW190 GlobalAccess.  Verizon continues to be the best choice for those looking for lots of solid 3G high speed coverage.  Here we discuss which of these two Verizon Internet cards are the best for you depending on how often and where you travel to.  Which one makes more sense for you and why?  

Why the Sprint 4G USB Device U1901 is a Bad Idea for most people

The Sprint 4G U1901 is a new Sprint USB device, but personally, I don't think its a very good choice for most people.  

The reason for my hesitation with this Sprint Mobile Broadband device? It is a 4G only device which means it will only work in limited areas in comparison to the much larger 3G coverage areas. There is one advantage to a 4G only device, and that is that it is only $49.99 a month versus the normal $59.99 for a dual band 3G and 4G device.  However, the U1901 only makes sense if you already get 4G in your city and you only need it there, as it won't work AT ALL in a 3G area. And even if it suits your Mobile Internet needs now, you are out of luck if your needs change down the road.  Until 4G is much more popular, I would recommend a 3G and 4G device like the Sprint 250U, which by the way is on my list of the Best Mobile Broadband Cards. 

For a small segment of people the U1901 will be a great choice, just don't be one of the people who make a huge mistake by not being aware of the limitations of this device! 

Special Deal Alert: Verizon USB760 Free + $150 Back

Here is one of the best deals we have ever seen in the 5 years since Mobile Broadband started. The Verizon USB760 is not only one of the best wireless broadband cards Verizon has ever sold, but this offer allows you to get 2.5 months of free service in the form of a $150 rebate.  And since it's free upfront with a standard 2 year agreement, that is one great deal.  

What some of our customers have done is pair the USB760 with a MBR900 Router from Cradlepoint, which is less than $150 by the way.  This offer allows you to get both pieces of  equipment for no cost after rebate.  This allows you to share the Mobile Broadband service with as many computers as you like within range of the router. Now, you can have your whole house or small office share just one card. Since Verizon has the most high speed 3G coverage of any carrier in the USA, this will help many rural customers who have no other options for Cable or DSL Internet service. The only thing to keep in mind is that there is a 5GB limit per month, so just monitor your usage to insure you don't go over. Avoiding downloading full length movies will keep most people in the clear since one movie can be 1GB each.

Order the Verizon USB760 Card before this offer goes bye-bye for good. 

Best Wireless Broadband Cards

Here is a Video I posted the other day showing several of my current list of "Best Wireless Broadband Cards" on the market.

 

For Sprint, it's the 4G/3G Sierra 250U and the Sprint Overdrive 4G/3G Hotspot 

Verizon go for the USB760 (Free + $150 Rebate!) or the Mifi 2200. 

T-Mobile go for the Rocket USB HSPA+ Card that is super fast! 

To see why I chose these, visit the Verizon Modem Cards and Sprint Modem Cards pages.  What ever you do, DO NOT get a 3G only card from Sprint when you can get a 4G card for Free, and get Unlimited Internet and up to 10X faster service! 

 

Road Trip Time! How to keep everyone connected to the Internet

Summer road trip time is about over, but there is still time for one more trip! What a great way to connect with the family and share fantastic memories. However, on especially long road trips, it can be nice to give the kids something to do, and the adults a way to get a little work done if needed. It can also come in handy to hop on the internet, which usually has better directions than Aunt Millie. It’s also nice to be able to do some research on where to go and what to do on the road, rather than wasting an hour once you get to your destination. So how can you connect to the internet while traveling down the interstate at 75mph?

Equipment Options

If it is just one or two travelers, then all you will need is a standard USB card from Verizon(Free USB760) or Sprint (Free 250U) that you can plug into any laptop. Verizon generally has the most rural 3G coverage, but Sprint is a good choice too. Just check the coverage maps first to make sure which one covers you the best.

If you have a whole gaggle of kids, or all the inlaws packed into the family minivan or RV your needs will be much different. For this I suggest a Sprint Overdrive or a Verizon MiFi 2200 which both create a “mobile hotspot”. This allows up to 5 WiFi connections at once, so Johnny can use his iPod Touch, Jill can play with her PSP, the wife can make sure you are not lost with GPS with the iPad, and Aunt Millie can finally learn what Google is on the netbook. And yes Aunt Millie, it works just as well going 75mph as it does in the parking lot.

Verizon MiFi 2200

Keep this in mind… if Sprint’s coverage works for you, go with the Overdrive, since that also is a 4G device, meaning it will be 10x faster in certain areas and also be unlimited in those same areas. The 4G coverage is rather limited right now, but is growing quickly, so it is smart to get a device that is future capable. Also when deciding which way to go, think about your future needs outside of this particular road trip as well. Which way will work the best for business trips? Do you need an Internet connection for the home or office? Either way, get out there and explore our great country! Where are you going and how are you connecting to the Internet?

Free Verizon USB760 Plus Get $150 Rebate!

For a limited time, the Verizon USB760 is not only Free, but you make $150 back with a typical 2 year agreement! This is the best value we have ever seen on a Verizon Mobile Broadband card. If you are thinking about trying it, now is the time! You do have 30 days to make sure you like the service, so you have nothing to lose!

How to get Unlimited Mobile Broadband

Have you thought to yourself "Why is there a limit to my Internet from Sprint or Verizon or ATT? They all have 5GB limits and that sucks! I want Unlimited Mobile Broadband. Most people don’t know what 5GB even is, so how the heck are they going to want to worry all day about how much they use?

Thankfully, Sprint now has Unlimited Mobile Broadband Internet on their 4G network. Yes, there is still a 5GB limit on the 3G network, but as long as you are on the 4G side you are good to go. This is one of the main reasons it makes sense to get a 4G/3G device. Do NOT waste your money on a 3G only device, you will hate yourself in a year when 4G is much more widespread. Not very often in life are choices quite so easy. Faster Service, Unlimited Internet, all for the same monthly cost as the older, slower technology? Where do I sign up?? (Below, actually!)

What are some of the 4G devices I’m talking about? The Franklin U301 was the first 4g device, then came the Overdrive which is like the very popular Mifi, but adds 4G also. So yea, its a few dollars more upfront, but it blows the mifi away in every other way. Get the Overdrive and you will thank me later! The next device to come out is the Sierra Wireless 250U pictured here, the newest Sprint 4G Mobile Broadband Device
which comes in an unusual looking round USB device… but its works great! It also is the first one to have antenna ports so you can add an external antenna for both the 3G side and the 4G side since they have different antennas for the different technologies.

Also noted in the video above, you can add a Mobile Router to any of the 4G USB devices to create a Mobile Wifi HotSpot that can allow 5 or 10 users to share one account over an entire house or small office

So what about Verizon? As it stands now, Sprint is the only one with 4G right now. Verizon is coming out with their own version called LTE later in 2010. However, until it’s actually available and we can see the cities it covers and see some real world tests, I would recommend going with Sprint for your 4G needs!
