Millenicom Wireless: a review and test

Yeah, better check than get it and get a suprise

 

If you look at their "terms" it states it is unlimited ... only stipulation is you turn it off when not in use. In other words, don't leave it on all the time.

 

I ordered the Millenicom service and will be using it by the end of the week. I'll post updates - if it works! hahaha

 

I've been using it for about 8 months now, works in more places than my T-Mobile phone.

I download a lot of podcasts and a few TV shows, I've never been hit with an overage fee.

Putting an antenna on it will help in low reception areas, I use a Wilson Trucker antenna. I might try out the amp they have on their website, I think it can be found cheaper other places.

 

This get high speed signal most of the time are low like dial up?
Also if you can use the antenna thats good as i have both. may have to try it if yall are happy with it,
Be nice to have something while sitting hours at the chicken plants and meat houses

 

I would say I get 2.5G speeds most of the time that I'm not near a major city. Most major cities have 3G speeds. Any place where you don't get 2.4 or 3G signal it will revert to dial up over the cell network. I've surfed the net several times when it said I had no signal at all. I even get a connection in the middle of Wyoming.

My bill every month is exactly $59.99.

There are two hardware units they offer.

The Franklin CDU-680 has an antenna port and built in 64MB flash drive. The flash drive stores the install apps for windows, OS X and Linux. When it can't find a Sprint signal it will use a Verizon signal, but at slower speeds.

The Pantech UM175 is the current shipping unit. It ONLY works with the Verizon network. If you are having coverage issues with the Pantech they will swap it for a Franklin. They will even ship the Franklin before you return the Pantech.

For more info go to DSLReports.

 

This Sounds good so far but I want to see more from those of you that have it on how well it works or any problems you have......I will be getting an aircard with in the next two months..

 

Dang! I bought the Pantech UM175 instead of dealing with returning it later. So I'll only get access to Verizon... I did order an antenna for it so maybe that will help.

 

I believe Verizon has slightly better coverage than Sprint anyway, I doubt you'll have any problems. I have Sprint, and just live with the caps.

 

I am going to try it for wow and see what happens they just replied to me with this

Although we are unlimited, if you intend on using more than 5 gigs of data usage monthly on a regular basis (it is an enormous amount of usage and you would know if that is the type of user you are) then we aren't the solution for you.
