T-mobile dongle
 

Fyi usa people. T-mobile has a special deal going on now for buying a 4g usb dongle. I just ordered one. It was 19.99 plus free ship for a refurbished usb dongle with a bonus 15.00 data card. This is for the no contract variety. It is a refurb, but so what for 20.00. Ontheir website to order, saw the ad on cnet. Worth a try. Just passing info along, hope it is useful..

Thanks! I have been searching for something cheap to buy and test out instead of using my iphone, great find!

This is what I was using before all the iphone ip drama...

Just dont expect it to be same speed as iphone... My area was much slower...

t mobile's tethering is really good..I have them in UK and it's so cheap here i pay 99p a month for unilimited usage internet it's laughable :) helped me so much with stealthing

I've been using my T-Mobile Rocket 4G and I love it. I can now stop using my phone.

Does anyone use a tmobile dongle in the UK? If so, do you get a completely new ip every time, or do just the last 3 numbers change [sometimes].

I have used them for ages, but recently the ip's have started to not change completely, just wondering if anyone elses do that now?

@andyf777, even if you get 1 or 2 digits change it's all good. You only need the IP to change by 1 digit. Hopefully someone can answer your question for the UK.

Is this better than the verizon dongle? o_O thats what I use.

Hi, yeah i read that in the guide, but just worries me a bit as they used to completely change, now its just the last digit or two, if that! Sometimes it doesnt change at all

Are you using a dongle or tethering from a phone?

For people using the t mobile dongle you can unlock it to use other sims aswell. I have mine and use a O2 sim in it along with a tmobile one.

i tether from a mobile phone sim card..and my iP changes every single time..sometimes by the last 3 digits..but 99% of the time completely..

If the IP doesn't change at all, then you just gotta keep trying until it changes at least by 1 digit. Also keep track of those IP's.

verizon is much better tried t-mobile before bad experience

I suppose it also depends on the location, some people said the T-Mobile wasn't working that great but for me it's working. We all gotta find that 1 that works good.

Verizons pretty darn fast for me, except it feels expensive. 50 bucks for 1gb. But I think all dongles are that costly =x

@lightmaria Is that per month, or until you run out?

$50 per month for 1GB or $80 for 5gb

Its yeah like he said 50 bucks per 1 gb and it per month. Because regardless if you use it all up or not it gives you a set time.

like if you buy on June 1st its gonna expire on july 1st regardless if you have some data to use or not. And the data doesn't rollover if you have extra.

I'm on the 1.5gb - $25 a month plan right now, also the same...for 1 month.

what..what do you use?

Wal Mart is releasing a new service running on SPrint's network. WHat's different here is that the data you purchase is good for 1yr from the day you bought it or until you use up the data. NEVER has that existed in the mobile industry for data. Some of you may like this feature better because if you aren't uploading pictures or streaming media, you use a lot less data then you think!

@lightmaria, T-Mobile Rocket 4G monthly prepaid.

@unknown5454, is the info on their site?

nevermind, found it...

Walmart announces Internet on the Go, a mobile internet service that starts with pricing as low as $10 per month (for 100MB of never expiring data) | GadgeTell
