go get a room or something.i was scrolling down and my speed scrollig was getting faster as you were arguing.
pd:by the way , good info from both.

I'm glad you could use the info :)

Hey coco with that comment good luck on getting advice.......

Lmfao :lol::pound:

Lol... too funny. On a side note.... I've been tethering my sprint HTC Hero to my lap top, found a great free app on the droid market for it, and seem to be getting different IPs each time too...... Haven't created any new accounts like this yet, but I'm thinking I should be ok?

Yes, just make sure you're keeping an ip log. The droid app works great. It's free for now, but I'm sure verizon will start charging for it as soon as they figure out how. Be careful though, I don't know what you use it for.... but there is a data limit of 5GB even with the data plan on handsets. It says unlimited, but the problem is that the phone normally can't process more than 5gb even if it's on 24/7. Keep in mind, when tethered, it is quite possible to exceed that limit. But if you're not downloading, I wouldn't worry about it.

Hi everyone!
I have an Iphone with ATT plan. Im tethering to use the internet for my computer. It change the IP each time i disconnected. But those still look similar. Is that problem still good to go?
For example, i have one yesterday for. 77.134.45.94, now I have 77.134.55.68
Also, I had one ebay and paypal were suspended. I had used this kind of tethering to use with ebay and paypal but rare. The main internet connection i used a lot in those suspension account was my internet at home and I could not change the IP for some reasons.
Now, Can I use the internet tethering that I had used before with ebay and paypal? will they know who I am? Also, im living in one state, they show up the IP in another state.

That is plenty of a change. All you need is one number to change. :typing:

Mobile broadband always shows the ip somewhere that you are not located, usually very far away from you and the account. I don't know why... but it's never a problem.

Gotta love mobile broadband! :D

ya it never shows yer location,but if yer in chicago it will not show you in new york,mine usually all show from 10-50 miles,i dont think thats very far away

Virgin Mobile Broadband
 

I have this Virgin Mobile Novatel Broadband device, and every time I disconnect and then reconnect I still have the same IP address. whatsmyipaddress.com says the IP is static, I just want to know is this normal, and is there any way to change the IP?

You'll have to call customer service. They should be able to uncheck the code in billing that gives you a static IP.

i have a verizon plan but no data plan right now. verizon says i gotta get the data plan than a tethering package that costs 30 bucks on top! any way around this? another service that does this for free?

You can tether for free with the new palm devices, either the palm pre or the palm pixi. There is Droid application that will allow you to tether for free as well. Also, you can get a palm pre right now on data only for 50 bucks, and the data is 54.99 instea of 59.99 and it acts like a mobile hotspot.... the phone itself sucks, but the data connection is kind of cool


The minimum you'll have to pay is 30 a month for a smartphone, 30 extra on a blackberry unless you use dial up networking to connect (i've confirmed this works :) ) the tethering with a normal phone like a RAZR is 54.99 a month.

Anybody ever run into a problem with tethering that the pool of ips are small and recycled?

Yes, with Sprint and certain devices they only tend to give 10 to 15 ips that are recycled.

Never had an issue with Verizon. Att.... I don't use. It sucks.

Yes this is what I experience as well. I even did a DUN with a Boost Mobile phone same ip all the time. I think because Verizon is the biggest is the reason why they have so many ips I don't know.

It's the way the device is... and it's not all devices. The technology that Sprint and Verizon use are almost identical. The Sprint ip thing is weird, but I have one card that never gives the same ip with sprint, and another that will cycle through about 10 consistently.

I use Sprint, I have a basic HTC Hero, Droid, I use a tethering app called pdaNet. It works great, I get a different IP every time. I don't pay any extra for tethering, I'm on a plan that has unlimited data, text, pics, and all the calls I need to make, for $99. mo. Definitely a great price.

That Droid app works with the Verizon and T Mobile Droids as well.... it's sweet.

FYI, it's not unlimited data. The idea is... the plan is unlimited, because the processor in the phones could not possibly go over the 5 gig limit, but when you tether, it is possible, very possible.

We have Clear where I live. looking at the HTC EVO coming out in June. Hear the HSPA+ 7.2 is great in Philly. Cant wait till LTE starts rolling out in test markets. Thanks for the info, I like to tinker with the prepaid tethering systems.

Anyone know if you can use the AT&T DataConnect Plan on iPhone I got their Pay as you go to work by changing the APN, but the dataconnect 5GB is a much better deal.

I have used Cricket and Boost CDMA mobile web but when check the IP it was in Maryland for the Cricket and Kansas for Boost. I'm in Austin Texas, is there a problem for eBay to flag my account?

Thank you

eh... it really depends.

I've been using a verizon connection card for years, and it puts my ip in kansas. I've got accounts all over the country, never been a problem.

Hey First what type of broadband card are you using? I have the USB760 works flawlessly for about a month then I get the dreaded Error 691 and of course tech support is useless. Have you ever got the Error 691 username and password don't match?

Error 691 SUCKS!!! Hours, and hours trying to get it fixed.... that 760 is a pain when that error comes up.

I had to get them to warranty replace it to the UME175. Works much better.

lol hours is right when error 691 happens it seems like verizon doesn't know what's going on. I'm on my 3rd replacement card in the last 6 months because of the error 691

Get them to exchange it for the UME 175. It's much better.

I haven't had a problem and if i do I was given a code to fix it. The whole problem was using Clear & Sprint cards while I had the Verizon card plugged in. It was changing the setting opps!

Just a heads up to those of you that was looking for Verizon Broadband prepaid I guess Verizon is feeling generous they bumped up the 500 MB to 1GB

Verizon Wireless - Mobile Broadband - Plans

Otherwise you could pay $10 more dollars and get the 5GB but it's not prepaid I'm sure they will be bumping up the prepaid soon to 5GB just as Virgin Mobile did.

I'm thinking about starting to tether on my Sprint Touch Pro again. I had previously done it when I had a Treo 755p and was evacuating for a hurricane, but have not touched anything tethering since.

If you're in 4g, sprint tethering is great... although I'm noticing it doesn't cycle through ip addresses as much as verizon

can amazon detect unique wireless aircard numbers?
 

do Mobile Broadband cards (modems) have unique numbers like NICs do?

Anyone have any info if amazon can see this?

Hi all,

If I may, let me ask a question and ask for some advice. I currently run my ebay & amazon accounts from my desktop with cable internet. I have a laptop that has never been registered on amazon or ebay. I'm thinking of getting an air card JUST for the laptop so I can open another account on Amazon & ebay. (I sell women's accessories from a local shop here and know I can sell 3x as much if I had more Amazon accounts)...so I thought I'd make 1 more account to see how it goes.

Now the type of air card plan I need is the problem I'm having. I would be using the air card on my laptop strictly for Amazon and Ebay apart and separate from my cable internet desktop.

I would do all my surfing, emailing, downloading, etc...from my cable desktop. I would use my laptop only for my second Amazon and Ebay and on occasion when I go out of town to do minor surfing & checking email etc.

I know we are only talking $20 per month difference (on the 2 plans below)......but what is your recommendations? Thanks everyone.

Or if you can recommend a better air card plan that changes IP's each time, that would be great also. THANK YOU!!!

I just signed up for their 1GB plan. Haven't even started selling, already spent 20MB the first day. It's a ripoff but 5GB is probably the better option.

I can only get about 2-3 accounts on one laptop before I have to use a new comp when using the broadband card....

Although, they do sell cpu's at goodwill now :) And I just trade them in when I'm done and mark them so I don't re-buy them later :)

do you follow the stealth method, i.e. separate windows accounts, new IPs, etc.?

Maybe you are just listing the same products and coupled with your basic machine configuration that's visible to any website they can deduct it's probably a new user since your new accounts pop up about the same time another seller (you) with similar products just went down on a similar setup machine.....

sorry to be asking these questions, I haven't read all of your posts, you might be way past that stage.

If you are doing everything correctly, then it means the wireless card is transmitting some unique ID from the machine... Usually in the case of a NIC a NIC would be transmitting the NIC's unique number as discussed in-depth in some threads on this forum, probably not the machine ID... But if you are using the same wireless card on a new laptop successfully it means the wireless card is passing on a unique machine identifier, not a wireless card identifier...

Has anyone used the tether software at tether.com for a blackberry using cricket or boost mobile? Figured id ask before trying it on my own and wasting the cash.

I used it with boost mobile blackberry and it only gives you a pool of 10 of the same ips. You could use it but you would have to keep track of which ip goes to which account ie: ip logging. GOOD LUCK!
