They don't sell DONGLES anymore? And excel to keep track of IP address?
 

None of the major cell phone carriers sell dongles in store. They have replaced them with those small blocks - maybe mifi? Do these still work? And are the ip addresses still dynamic/changing? Is this still a good way to do multiple stealth accounts?

Which is the best device for this? Should I just buy in the cell phone carrier store, it's like $130 plus monthly fees for having the mifi.

And does any one have an excel file that keeps track of multiple accounts ip log -- that will automatically warn us via changing the color or something auto-change that will let us know that another column/row (for a different account) also contains the same ip address. So we won't accidentally cross link a ip address from the changing/dynamic mifi device. I remember an excel file going around. Can anyone point me to the most updated file or another source for logging our ip addresses for each account.

MIFi works really well. Same idea, but you connet via WiFI not USB

And this can be used to track IP addresses

Just buy from T Mobile, Verizon etc. These are all dynamic IP's. You have no need to track IP's as there are literally tens of thousands and amazon etc know your using a mobile connection. If you are using it on multiple accounts just restart the device and you will get a
fresh IP

Completely disagree with this statement....Everyone SHOULD Log their IP changes. While I do agree that some Service Providers offer a large pool of IP's it's not a good reason to just skip logging IP's.

Does anyone have an easy way of keeping track of IP addresses?

I was thinking:
-We log ip address on excel file column coinciding with amazon account.
-The excel file (with some kind of formula to scan other columns/accounts) will let you know if there are any duplicates of ip addresses by turning the ip address color red.

Edit: JamesNorth101, thanks I just saw that you put a link to the excel file http://www.aspkin.com/forums/multipl...-stealths.html
I'll try it out, thanks so much!

What is the largest pool of IP addreses now? Verizon vs. sprint vs. att vs tmobile. And how much are you guys paying? Is 1-2 GB per month enough? I was thinking of going with Sprint, their mifi device though is $130 unless you do a 2 year contract it's free.

Taking the micky, yeah I guess the workers are giving me the wrong info. I went to verizon and ask if the device has dynamic (changing) ip addresses. They said I would be stuck with just 1 ip address and it won't change. I went to a sprint store and they told me theirs is dynamic though. It makes me hesitant to go with Verizon now though - I don't want the surprise of a static ip address lol.

Ok my view, what is point of logging IP when there is a large pool available. You may be very careful on making sure you don't reuse the same IP, but there is a chance you could use an IP from another banned or deleted seller. Amazon realise this and thats why 4g is very safe and IP is irrelevant in these instances.

In my experience I always and I mean ALWAYS record my IP address for Amazon as well as eBay. I do not want to lose an account due to a possible ip match even if it is 1 in a million. With that said I am on VIRGIN MOBILE, their change and I am happy with them. I will be needing a different one soon and am considering Sprint. I know aspkin has posted something regarding Verizon's service before and how theirs change but it was a while ago and it might have changed by now. I pay $50 for 6 GB a month, I wish I could have more but managing with the 6 at the moment.

Good luck !

Daga, please explain the point of recording your IP's. You have no choice what IP address is allocated to you when you switch on your Virgin Mobile. The IP allocated could be from an old deleted account from a random person, which you would never know. So how does logging your IP help?
