Verizon MiFi Alternative

[Zilligenaire]

Hey everyone. So like a lot of you, I used the Flashed MiFi. It hasn’t been working anymore for a lot of people. So I picked up a ATT prepaid hotspot here:https://www.bestbuy.com/site/at-t-ve...?skuId=4800300

It only costs $25/m for 3gb of data and is light years faster than the 3g mifi.
Definitely worth it IMO.

Hope 3GB is enough data. You can run through that quick. You might want to only upload pics to ebay from cloud storage to save on data.

You definitely could but I only check on my accounts if I gotta withdraw money/refund someone which isn’t too offen as I let the balance sit for a while.

If you link shipstation to your accounts you won’t have to waste data adding tracking numbers and such.

I too used the 3g MiFi and it went down. I was considering getting a MiFi from pcsforpeople, it's $80 for the MiFi device and as low as $10/month for unlimited 4g lte. So pretty much $200 prepaid can get you the device and 12 months worth of unlimited data. Must be eligible to purchase though (it's for low income people). Anyone have experience with this?

EDIT: This appears to run on the Sprint network.

Looks like lot of fellow mifi's are down. Sad days. Miss using my little mifi, he's still on, blue light shining strong and green steady with little flashing. Bless him, he never let me down. Don't have heart to turn him off.

Think gonna try out ATT 3GB 25/month, need something other than starbucks, hate going in there. Tried messaging but I gotta wait till 10 posts. Had old account but it was 4+ years ago and my memory is no good.

For $30/month you can get AT&T Unlimited Data....

[rmulder]

That sounds too good to be true MM. Tried to PM you a long winded message but still not at 10 posts yet. Soon. Maybe I'll be there when my new ATT 4g hotspot arrives in mail. Will look for threads to share some ebay knowledge learned over the years thanks to this great place and helpful members.

Is that a plan? All I could see was prepaid plans on their website.

When I was activating the device only showed prepaid plans. Will definitely check that out next month.

isn't the ip pool very small on ATT?

Probably....I personally don't care. Verizon 3G Flashed Mifi's are getting zapped left and right, what would you go with?

[BaggaDonuts]

When you say.. doesn't work... does that mean slower than dogsh*t or just doesn't get internet at all?

$30 for unlimited 4g? There is no way that it possible, So, how did you come to this conclusion?

Go back and read my responses in this thread.

What about Sprint? I'm thinking about trying them to see how big their pool is.

Thank MM78 for the attention he has given you

Test it out for yourself. Or search it.

For the ATT Hotspot, I have yet to get a duplicate IP although I've only had it for a few days I have probably turned it on and off around 50 times.

I ended up getting around 200 IP's with my AT&T personal cell. Guessing MiFi is probably the same.

Then they slowly start to change after a few months and you get some new ones.

when mine stopped working because of a Verizon update it would only connect to 2G 1X and would only connect to one Verizon 3G tower in my area, but after 8 months or so it stopped connecting to that tower too. But if I went 150 miles or more north it would work on 3G. I could go 200-300 miles all the way south to Miami and get no 3G service at all anywhere.

I've gone 3 months with out adding a refill before, then one time I was 3 weeks late and verizon terminated my number. You'll know when that happens. When you call the number to add a refill it will say your number isnt in the system.
