    I see some older post on Clear and Millenicom but nothing recent.
    My question is how good is the coverage with both.
    Clear is half the price.
    I had called Clear earlier today to ask questions and I had a high pressure sales person on the phone and really wasn't looking to help me out other than asking me for a form of payment.
    I know of a couple of my buddies here in town that use Clear and love it, but they don't drive 48, just local.
    I have sprint for cell service and an IPhone 5 and there data service here in Orlando sucks.
    I wish there was a way to tether my phone but I haven't found a way.
    I can't add another phone to my account. Already have 5#'s

    Thanks for the help and any info

    Check out jailbreaking on that iphone, my friend. thats the best way to tether your connection. I've been doing it for 2 years now and I wouldn't have it any other way.

    Yeah, but being on sprint he can hack his phone and still has issue of crappy coverage.

    Verizon is really the only way to go. We have tried about everything.

    verizon has been just about as crappy as sprint has for me. i haven't seen one better then the other.

    but i know i've got the biggest pos to ever be released, also.

    LOL.. yeah thats a good point as well. I, too, have been happy with verizon. I'm still under unlimited and won't change my phone as long as they have that 5gig in place. If they force me, lord knows what i'll do.

    you can keep your unlimited as long as you don't sign a new contract..... but you will need to pay full price for your new phone/mifi

    Craigslist is your friend for new phones. Have the seller meet you at the company store for that phone (Verizon), and have the rep verify that there won't be any problem with you using it.

    While this will, of course, check for stolen phones, it also verifies that the phone doesn't have a couple hundred bucks worth of unpaid bills attached to it (which is more likely).

    ok. so just outta curiosity. i had the chance to ditch my bionic for an htc phone again. i was very happty with htc on sprint before switching to verizon.
    that was 4 months ago. i was able to fix my own phone but now it's worse then before.

    now i'm thinking of the galaxy note 2. my bionic is trashed and i really don't see it lasting 9 more months to end of contract. so if i can beach my way into that phone. i understand a new 2 year but i'm gonna get raked with the new billing plans too???? and less internet then what i have now???

    if that's the case. i can see myself going back to sprint. cuz i got a lot more bang for my billing and was paying $50 less each month.
