I guess you are saying this is a USB stick thing that plugs into a USB port of some high SPEED wireless router box that is capable of working with SPRINT 3G 4G 4g WIMAX and 4G LTE. Only works with SPRINT which we have zero service here we live for SPRINT cell phones...
This is all you used to create your SPRINT 10 device HOTSPOT. Where does the USB MILLENICOM ANTENNA thing plug in... All of this for $19 for the USB unit and $69.99 for the service a month. You provided the SPRINT TRI-FI HOTSPOT small unit which I think cost around $199 outright from Sprint brand new......
Explain to me all that you hooked up to make all of this work - Im getting somewhat interested in more data... I'm missing something here..
I guess the Verizon JET PACK which uses something like the MIFI unit just doesnt have the large amount of data to use... I think it is around $69 a month as well...
If we had SPRINT service here at home this sounds like a good deal... Im surprised since Millenicom uses both SPRINT and VERIZON services that they dont have something similar to this that is on the Verizon network.
Guess I need to read up on it more... We could live big time on 10GB a month I think... I'm doing great now with the Verizon MIFI 3GB per month thing... I havent been anywhere yet the Verizon didnt work for us. Even in GOBER, TX it worked haha...

OK, some confusion here - the USB device on the ad is just a representation of a device.
I purchased a used Sprint Tri-Fi unit with a clean ESN from eBay for $49 and then registered it on the Millenicom BYOD service for their $69 a month package - this gives UNLIMITED (actually 50GB) a month on the Sprint network. The device can pick up any of the 4 sprint services - 3G 4G 4G WiMax and 4G LTE depending upon what is available. I have found that you need to go into the admin settings and fix the service to one or the other if more than one are available - otherwise it hunts for them, dropping the connection as it switches back and forth but it's no biggie.
Services on the Verizon network are limited to 20GB however but you may have better coverage as Verizon is a much larger and better network than Sprint.
