Thinking of switching providers

If you are into downstreaming video or TV and need 20GB dataplan MILLENICOM may be a good deal for your. The MILLENICOM uses the VERIZON network...

We are setup here using VERIZON MIFI and currently have grandfathered 3GB dataplan which handles our checking in with the kids, checking and paying bills on-line and some surfing the internet.

We really like the VERIZON MIFI idea as it is a stand alone unit and will provide a safe WIFI hot spot for up to five of our devices. Doesn't tie up our cellphone if we was using it in WIFI HOTSPOT mode...

The MIFI unit normally sets in WILSON SLEEK cradle with external antenna and gives us a good WIFI hot spot coverage area around our trailer. It works anywhere we can get Verizon Cell Phone service.. If we want to go long walks or sit around the beach we just bring the small MIFI unit with us and I place it in my shirt pocket... Our tablets etc work just fine then...

In my working years all across the US and off the beaten paths we never had good look with any carrier except VERIZON. Sprint doesnt work for us here at our house...

In my area Sprint reception is lousy - everyone moved to Verizon. I recently migrated from Verizon to StraighTalk - purchased a StraighTalk phone capable using Verizon cell phone towers and I get unlimited everything for about $40 per month - wish I did it sooner.

Sprint has some packages which include unlimited data if you use a smart phone or data plan of any kind. With Verizon you must pay for a data package and pick your limits. You can buy extra GB's if you need them.
If you are only using the service in one specific location you need to ensure the provider works well in that area. If you will be traveling, Verizon does have better coverage Nationwide than Sprint or AT&T.

I don't know of any wireless provider that has 'specials' on service but If you are retired military or govt worker you may qualify for 25% discounts on accessories and/or a 20% discount on service plans. we've been with Verizon for years and are happy with the service/coverage, their store personnel and their phone support (which is US based).

We have had Verizon for many years now and have never been without carrier service that I can remember. Also, I don't know about Sprint but Verizon will give you a 15% discount if you have a dd214 from your military service.
