• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

I have used Sprint for mobile broadband for the last 4 years. It has been very good, but because of Sprint's recent loss of a lot of 3G in the Dakotas as well as their upcoming loss of a lot of 3G in W OK and S KS, I am seriously considering switching to the Millenicom advanced plan which uses the Verizon network. I am also not a fan of Sprint's dinky 300MB/month roaming agreement. My question is how much roaming are you allowed under the Millenicom advanced plan?

Thanks in advance!
 
You don't roam !!! it is exactly the same as having your card issued direct from Verizon.

I understand that it runs off of Verizon's network, and when looking at Verizon's data coverage map, the dark red areas are Verizon 3G. However, there are light red areas such as western Oklahoma that are called "extended 1x data". What exactly does "extended" mean? I assumed it was another word for roaming.
 
I trashed Verizon a few years back, but I don't think "extended" means roaming in that instance. I think it's merely an outdated technology that they have a usage agreement with, anyway ... maybe GSM technology? I'm not sure but is it even possible to incur data roaming charges in the continental US with a Verizon or ATT or US Cellular?
 
After chatting with a Millenicon rep last year their plans are the same as the company except no cap on the data. The downside is if you were to go with a plan like Sprint with lots of roaming you would be out of luck with no data at all.

The ideal plan would be a Sprint/Verizon combined plan but that is only a fantasy.
 
I'm not knowledgable at all when it comes to cell phone lingo or plans, don't know what 1x is (other than it's slower) or roaming. I can relate to those who are technologically challenged. What I do know is I pay Millenicom 60 dollars a month and only 60 dollars a month and had coverage everywhere I went except in the no coverage areas on verizon's map. And with an amp those no coverage areas get smaller.
 
You will get great coverage now . Verizon now has 3G agreement with Pioneer cellular > Pioneer ended their agreement with Sprint to make the deal with Verizon. You are covered on extended network . There is no domestic roaming with Verizon . Extended is when you are one of Verizon's partners networks that is all . You are covered
 
Wow, thats really sweet to not have to worry about excessive roaming! Pretty much makes this choice a no-brainer. Thanks all for the info!
