Unlimited Data Card Service Available

[Steve Polley]

I know this company has been mentioned on here before, but I was unaware that they now offered an unlimited data card plan. They utilize the Sprint network also which is a major plus.

How do they manage this? Did they just set up a small business account with Sprint and get listed as a public service industry company and then resell their plans back to the public?

Hmm....Not sure. I would jump if I didnt already have an alltel/now verizon grandfathered unlimited plan

I emailed for availability since I need to renew my Alltel contract for a new phone and might not be grandfathered after this. I like the no contract but the $50 activation fee kinda stinks.

I certainly would like to check into this. Co-location is nothing new, but I'd like to see what the agreements are for use of various networks. Yes, they are linked to Sprint, but if you have Sprint, I believe you are also able to get other network's towers...like Verizon's, even if it counts toward 'roaming'.

But it is always a good thing to know all options when one is searching for a new plan. I lost my sweatheart deal with an inside Sprint connection, so I'm like the rest of you...likely going to deal with 5gb limits. If I get a new service I'll be year round, because I actually did more streaming locally, for many different events, and in the past, used a lot in my career (architecture) while on site...very handy business tool.

i use this, it works well in eastern oklahoma, the downfalls are: no automatic reconnect for losing service, and if you want to disconnect you'll have to send everything back in original case, if you don't they will charge you $250 for disconnecting. but i like it, it does the job for me.

if you want to disconnect you'll have to send everything back in original case, if you don't they will charge you $250 for disconnecting.

Unless of course you do the "bring your own equipment" option right? This service sounds like its great for those who stream while they chase and also use the connection as their main internet source since there is no bandwidth limit. Lifting that 5 GB cap will be well worth it to a lot of people for $10 more a month.

yeah.. too bad for me due to finding my old modem about a week after i got the millenicom modem..lol

when I was chasing a typhoon Lupit in Aparri, Philippines last month, I bought a USB wireless card with 200 minutes for 900 pesos - about $19. Wish they had something like that in the US. Didn't have to send the card back either! When you run out of minutes you just use a cell phone to recharge. They really take you to the cleaners in the US !
