Want to operate accounts on the go? DATA Plan? Hotspot modem?
 

Basically I want to be able to use my own Pc and manage multiple accounts, thinking a total about 20 since I got a new idea on what to sell.

Heres my issue, for my college all the ips are basically the same so I can make multiple accounts selling the same stuff.

Im looking into getting an unlimited data plan or one of those hotshop things like this MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot | Virgin Mobile

Is there way I can buy a cell phone plan or hotspot plan that can change ips?

Thanks

Hmmmm - hotspots - you're not planning on being in business for long then?:doh:

I think theres a little misunderstanding.. I dont mean public hotshots (ie. Mcdonalds or apple store) I mean its like a Cell Phone data plan.

College IP is epic fail. So, stop there immediately.

If you are stuck in dorms, mobile broadband is your best bet, just like the Virgin Mobile MiFi you posted. It will change IPs every time it connects.

You can use a cell phone that has personal hotspot, but it will need to be a jailbroken iPhone or rooted Android phone, etc. There are other phones out there, but these will be the easiest to come across.

This is what I was looking for, ive never login via college wifi.
Now are you 100% SURE that if I use MIFI my ip will change every time I connect? Are you aware of any company they will let me atleast try it out for 1 day and if it doesnt fit my requirements return it?.

Also what is the cheapeast alternative?
Im only going to be using the data plan for ebay/paypal.. nothing else.... how much data will that take up?

Took this to PM.

Also if anyone knows a better Data plan then Virgin mobile please post it.

In the upcoming week I should have a review up about this to help out members in the fourm ;)

I tether my WM6.5 phone to my laptop and I only have to soft restart my phone to get a new IP. I use ATT with unlimited data and it hast failed me. I would agree using the hotspot or phone tethering is very accommodating if you are all over the place and you can place your confidence in it to keep up. The most data that I have used in 30 days was about 4gb and I used it extensively. My cell phone plan has been the same for over 10yrs and haven't been yelled at yet!

Good luck!!

I use a Cricket wireless unlimited data plan for my wifi tethering, my cost is $55 per month. I only use the wifi tethering for ebay, for fast internet i use a 4g USB hook up on my laptop. My data usage is also about 3-5gb per month, uploading and downloading pictures takes up lots of data bandwidth so you need a plan with unlimited downloading.

And the best way for me to get a new IP address with an Android smart phone is to but the phone into "airplane mode". It shuts all incoming and outgoing signals. When I shut off "airplane mode" I get a new IP address. I could shut off my phone but it take 2 minutes to turn on again, no joke. My way takes 20 sec.

^^^ Lucky lucky. Leap/Cricket are still only in a small region. They need nationwide so the rest of us can utilize them. :(

Solid company for those of you who have access to them and they stay up to date on the 4G game.

I tried the "airplane mode" and it's a lot nicer than restarting...thanks

Yea I ended up going to ATT and getting unlimited data and text for under $50 ish ;)

^ Can't go wrong with unlimited data nkwatch, nice going!

I came across something that is working for me to receive a new ip...I leave my tethered phone plugged into the laptop and I only LOG OUT (not switch users) and I receive a new ip every time and airplane mode isn't necessary. I have att with unlimited data w/ WM6.5 ...

If someone else tries this with the same carrier or other devices please post! This is becoming very handy for me and hopefully for others.

Hi there, I currently have been doing the whole under the radar stealth mode accounts for over a year now. Been pretty successful but been tied down to DIAL UP accounts. I am not that technically savvy and the term TETHERED phone to laptop and such is new to me. Can someone explain to me how/what this is?

I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A FEW ACCOUNTS IF NOT ALL THAT HAVE 3G OR 4G SPEED!

I appreciate all the help I can get!

What service and what phone do you have partner?

I have virgin mobile, lg android. and have a dell inspirion laptop
thanks for the help!:clap:

Ahh, that phone would have to be rooted to do it. Virgin locks out the personal hotspot feature in the Android software. So, if you want to stick with Virgin, you need to pick up the MiFi box or the USB dongle from Wal-Mart. Both of those are extremely easy to use.

ok so a MIFI box at walmart?
I can do that lol
what phone and service provider do you need to do it normally?

Hey real quick I looked it up on walmart and found
Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go MiFi 2200 Prepaid Broadband Device
can I use my plan that I have with my phone ($25 for 300 min or something like that but unlimited email and internet) with this device or do I have to pay extra (prepaid)?

Maybe a stupid question but I appreciate the help!

They treat the MiFi box and USB dongle separately from the phones.
