Besides Tmobile and Verizon, what's another good mobile hotspot provider?
 

I am already using Verizon and Tmobile and need some other providers. I know there's Huawei but on Amazon seems like they still use the Tmobile network. Are there other providers out there in the US? Thank you!

Just about every Phone Provider has a hotspot or Mifi, the thing is that most are using major network IP's....so even if you did go with another Provider....you might be getting the same IP Pool from Verizon, T-mobile, or Sprint.

Huawei is a hardware provider only here in USA, they do not operate a network. So, they would have nothing to do with it.

To my understanding you pretty much have Verizon, tmobile and AT&T for network. The sub carriers such a Virgin, sprint, ting, cricket, etc...piggyback off of the big three with T Mobile being the one most rebranded.

The prepaids only have access to the core network of each major carrier. Giving you different IP range even though on same network :)

so in theory and for clarity, Sprint, Ting, Virgin and Cricket etc..would all have a sub pool of IPs from T Mobile and not under the same umbrella of a Tmobile account?

Correct, but Sprint owns its own network. They are not an MVNO like the rest.

Personally, I quit keeping track of all my ip's . I did it thoroughly for a while (1 year) & I realized after running a bunch of accounts I ran through att' pool after 3 months Verizon after 4-5 months, forget Tmobile & sprint.
I think we are all sharing ip's all over the place. I think ip is more important when it's a static address, when it's different every time I don't think it's looked at sour closley, so I have an Att. For some accounts & a Verizon for others for some more separation.
This is my personal opinion, so if your new here I'd advise you to keep track for a while, after a year or so you may find that it's virtually impossible to have a different IP every single time like I did.
I'm aware most here say it's very important. & I do believe that a static ip is probably better for a account that's doing a couple thousand a month. And I would definitely change a static IP if you are banned from that account but I see in my sales reports that 80 sometimes 100 % of my sales on any given account are from mobile purchases. Every time those people restart their phone it's going to be a different ip address, millions of users are posting things everyday on their mobile phones as sellers they're always going to have a different IP address.

So I think having a ton of different Wi-Fi devices ultimately is a waste of money and a lot of time trying to organize it.

That's just my two cents.

I do agree it takes usually 2 things to link a account. Usually Ip alone is hazy at best, however why already give them one...

Also, take into consideration if you link IP on non-banned accounts you might not run into much trouble if it happens once, maybe twice... But, if the IP with banned account gets reused then its likely you will have issues with all the linked accounts.

Basically there is some difference in landing on a IP with banned account vs a active no issue account...

Risky business... Its not really stealth if you allow some kind of linking in my opinion....

Good luck brother, glad its working out for you though!!

Yeah i kept an organized spread sheet & basically I was sitting there restarting my mi-fi over & over again until littarly it got to 9,10 even 20 times till one day I realized I wasn't going to get a new ip No matter how many times I would restart the device, i got an iP I had used on another account before. My only hope was to get an iP I had used on the same account before.
Then I just started to allow ip addresses to cross only if I haven't used it on a banned account.
I started to weigh the risk against the time I spent restarting mifi's. I had a few accounts go down just before xmas . I cRoss referenced the spread sheet & ones that went down had no ip's in common and they HAD ip's in common with accounts that where and still are fine.
Now I just use Verizon on my favorite accounts & att on growing accounts.
I really had no choice.

I dont keep track of any IP address and never been linked with another account by IP address.

When ever I need to change to another user account, I change the IP address to another one. I am using Tmobile network atm.
