    Has anyone used the "hotspot" 4G offered by ATT or Verizon? If so how do they work for you?

    I used the verizon wi-fi, never had issues with it. I often used it while the hubby was driving down the road. Only places I ever had a problem was also places that I didn't have a good cell signal either. Not to many places, roaming was more of an issue, down in Laredo, Eagle Pass, El Paso... and by God West Virginia... all would say that I was roaming using international data.

    I have hotspot on my Droid RAZR, works fine, but using it will drain your battery at Mach5, so plan on plugging into charger if using for extended periods.

    Verizon Mifi, but it's a little expensive, I'm paying 80 a month for 10 gigs that I use up pretty quickly. I've heard of knock off Verizon companies that give you up into the ranges of 60-80 gigs for the same price or lower, and I guess they use Verizon's towers for service, so it's just the same as having Verizon but much cheaper and with a less helpful support team.
     
    oldtankinfool Thanks this.
