Burbman: Thanks. I appreciate your insights into Sprint voice and data coverage and into the Pantech mifi on the Verizon network. Very interesting.
jhilley: Thanks for the compliment. That's good to know about Verizon pricing. I took your advice on the the Edge 2.75G network and the made changes, accordingly.
dockmasterdave: I appreciate the compliment. Yes, I agree. Security is another good thing about hotspots.
bka0721: Thanks, Bryan, for the compliments. Great thoughts about network expansion and network coverage. No doubt, Verizon coverage is the best for guys like us who like to boondock, but switching to them at this time would be cost prohibitive for me.
NashTT: Are you referring to the unlimited data packages being offered by T-Mobile and Sprint? If you are, unlimited data is just that. Unlimited with no strings attached, though coverage is lacking in some areas for these two providers.
wa8yxm: Good to hear from a T-Mobile/Samsung Galaxy S-III subscriber. I agree about the benefits of password protection and added that to the article.
