mifi wifi personal hotspot devices
 

There are many unlocked personal wifi devices on the market that you can plug a gsm sim card into from T - mobile and other providers and all you have to have is internet on your acct.

Most mifi units and other Personal wifi hotspot devices allow up to 5 devices to connect with a dfferent ip for each. The best part is that they are dynamic.
Now make sure you use a provider that is dynamic. that's the point.

Also many phones are allowing apps to turn your phone into a wifi hotpot device. Like the Htc evo. you pay $30 a month for the data plan and you can have up to 8 computers with dynmaic ips connect at one time

think about having 8 accts going at once.

If you have android based phone of an iphone, there is a work around to getting free tethering to use your phone data and get a dynamic ips. again it depends on provider so make sure they have dynamic ips. most gsm providers do.

Work around for Android and iphones - PdaNet
Google PdaNet. download app onto android phone or iphone from the android market or app store.
Download the app onto your desktop and run.

Hopefully this helps some of you

I wonder which providers give you a dynamic IP because using Verizon broadband stick is expensive!

HI newtools....great post! Do you know if Virgin Mobile MiFi is dynamic? I believe they operate off of the Sprint 3G network.

Hi newtools. Thanks for the info. I have an evo and also a sprint data card. Do you know if the data card can be used for more than one account? Thanks!!!

Yeah, I have a jailbroken iPhone that I use for my hotspot that I use for multiple stealths (I reset IP each time) It seems to take from a pool of numbers, so I hope the numbers don't get reused....

lagoonclug,

I also have a jail broken iphone.

I downloaded an app called: Ip manager. it allows you to see your external ip and reset it and get another one from the app. and also keeps a list of ip's used.

I have also just tethered my iphone and went to system, and then put airplane mode on for 5 seconds and then flip it back on this refreshes the connect and the you have a different ip address.

Currently, am using your 2nd option was well, Airplane Mode works great. I'll try to get that app you have.

I'm gonna try that, just can't make the switch yet, still hooked on my 9530 storm with iphone theme, as soon as I get a mac I'll make the switch...

IP Manager working great so far, thanks newtools.

I have wifi tether for my evo. paid nothing for it, sprint tries to get 30 bucks out of you.


Just root your phone for the win

Newtools, while your info looks very interesting - you have officially made me feel even more grunge and tech-inept ha. I need help big time.
