- Or you can just use the one on your phone if your plan provides one. Saves having extra hardware.
Dave - Find one that has external antenna inputs.
- Quality also depends on location. We have two Verizon Mifi's which work great in Ohio, but droop when in Orlando Florida for the winter. Last winter we got a similar MiFi from Sprint, and it worked much better in Orlando, and works great in Ohio.
- Be aware that some Unlimited plans will throttle down their service to 2G after a few hours of usage.
- We use a hotspot from StraightTalk, i.e. Walmart. It uses the Verizon network and runs about $50/month for unlimited data. There are cheaper plans with limited data. We don't stream movies or such, just FB, YouTube, email, and various web surfing. Works great for us.
We don't use it all the time, so we can not use for six months, or whatever, and not pay monthly fees. Then reactivate and off we go.
