Old flip phone, but Genie has the Android and gets web on it, yes she pays extra each month ($30 I think), but she only does email usually. So, I'm wondering if the Android feature works as well as the independent hotspots.
I'm buying a new phone as soon as I figure this out, and will get Android if it does both - I now have 4G Verizon hotspot AND a Sprint flip phone - but don't need both if one can do the job. It's up for renewal, so can chose what I want ... I may change to Verizon or to Sprint depending on which one does the best job. I'm almost thinking Verizon because then we'd have one Verizon and one Sprint - and that way, cover both when we're traveling. Don't know if one is better - never had any trouble with Verizon tho, except in very back-country areas where nothing covers it anyway. And Sprint seems all over too ...
