both do the same thing. In theory the phones will not die as fast as a mifi and yes the phones usually have a stronger signal as well.

Phone is better, just click airplane mode, turn it off, new ip. Way faster than mifi. Also u can pay for 5 bucks if u know Verizon pin. Just ask the seller to provide u with that.

Make sure u know the account pin tho, that way u can add 5 bucks to it. If not, it's 15 bucks if u buy the Verizon gift card, I'd rather pay 5 bucks.

2200 on 3G with decent signal is plenty fast. it must be your location.
