    Your welcome. I have found a few place that it gets no signal mainly in the west. Like tonight I am in Colby, KS and the mifi has no signal but I have tethering on my phone wich is with AT&T but it is limited. I use it as a back up and usually find if the mifi has no signal the phone will. Verizon and AT&T both are faster but if you just want to stay connected to relax at the end of the day it's good for that. I added the tethering to my phone with AT&T thinking it would be easier to just pay one bill but it has a 5gb limit. I went over the first month and it cost me. I use my laptop to stream music while I'm driving and then watch netflix and such when parked. Guess streaming for 20hrs a day eats up more then you think. I kept the tethering plan as a backup and it works out great. I don't go over on the phone and I have a different network to connect to if I can't get a signal on the one.
