ATT MIFI and ATT Beam
Just wanted to post something for future knowledge for anyone/everyone.
I have been using an ATT MIFI device (5G for $50.00). I have had a ATT Beam laying around that I bought off EB a few months back, but I had not used it or activated it yet. On my ATT MIFI, I am getting a lot of reoccurring IPs, which isn't too too bad because I just keep turning it off and on until I get a Fresh IP or an IP that belonged to the USER ID i am trying to get in. Anyhow, I had called ATT to see if adding service to this data account would get me more IPs. OF COURSE, the sales guy says it will. So I add this device to my plan which is now gonna be 4G for $70.00 (1G less but now I have 2 devices spitting out more IPs, so I thought).
What a freakin waste. The ATT Beam was spitting out the same IPs that the MIFI had already used. Got my account switched back around, but wanted to note this in case anyone else had the same brain fart that I did. Hopefully this will save someone an 1.25 hours of being on the phone with ATT.
