Hi,

Great news! So how do you tell which are Sprint based and which are Verizon based?

Both Sprint and the Verizon networks use the Novatel Mifi so be sure you understand which network Millenicom is using.

hi ReadytoGo,

Just to make it more confusing Millenicom uses both Sprint and Verizon.

From past experience , The 20 GB plans are on Verizon , Unlimited 50GB plan is on Sprint . They have a new basic plan which they say is on T-mobile . I myself have been on advanced plan for over 3 years with no complaints.

Hi Maxi,

Thanks. I sure wish BYOD would work with the Verizon flavor.

I do not think Verizon will let them activate old devices . Sprint is more desperate and will do anything to get business . That is just my educated guess.

Looks like very nice plans. Hope it drives the competition.

Why name something unlimited plan and then put a limit (50GB a month) after it. I know it is really marketing. I don't see me using 50GB a month, though, except all of those newflix movies.

No change for me until there are actually 4G towers out on the highways and it is going to be several years or more before that happens. Check the coverage maps for 4G and you will see what I mean.

I use a 4 year old Pantech UM175 3G modem on the Verizon network through Millenicom and have been paying the same amount for the 20GB cap for the past two years so the only change is the addition of 4G for those who spend all their time in a big city. I tried a 4G modem for a couple weeks but had so many disconnects with my local 3G only towers that I switched back to the 3G modem.
