Earlier this month when in a location where we were on a roaming carrier, at either 2 or 3 gig they slowed us down so much that the service was basically unusable. When we called them, they said that unlimited didn't apply while roaming.
In looking at Millenicom's site, I did see the statement "Usage over 50 gigabytes in one month will alert our investigative team" and I have no problem with that. Does Millenicom roam onto other carriers when Verizon service is not available and could we run into the same roaming limit problems as we had above?

You can go into the Jetpack set up and turn off roaming if you wish. But I guess if you have the unlimited you must have Sprint as the carrier. We went with the Verizon plan as Sprint has poor to no coverage in many of the areas we go to including our home base.
No, we don't have Sprint, we're using a regional cell service in Alaska and we went to New York for several weeks. If someone was using the Jetpack and turned off the roaming, how would they get service if they couldn't pick up Verizon?
