    Am I nutters to only have Tracfone flip dispersed camping?

    If your flip phone uses CDMA only, you may run into issues finding a tower that handles that. Many are ditching that technology and only going with LTE. If it works and you are happy, than use it until it goes away. Then figure out what you want to do. I don't think there is any wrong answer :)

    Ham Radio

    I am a ham but not full time. I get out as often as I can. Once my kids are in college, that will ramp up quickly. I own a couple mobile 2m/70cm rigs. I am a tech. I would love to upgrade to general, but I have a brain injury preventing me from studying and taking the test. I have some HT's. All...

    Best cell phone plan deal of the moment, Visible by Verizon?

    I am not convinced that article is fully correct. I can stream video at 720p 1080p on the phone and via hotspot. Hotspot is not throttled to 5mb/s . The article from Gizmodo was updated and that is wrong  "[Update 8:45 PM] Despite Visible’s new uncapped data plan, two other restrictions are...

    Best cell phone plan deal of the moment, Visible by Verizon?

    Also, if you want to use the hotspot for more than 1 device, I recommend PDANet. I bought the app for $8 and it works very well.

    Best cell phone plan deal of the moment, Visible by Verizon?

    You won't find a case in the US. If you can wait from China, it will take a couple weeks or so. I bought this and it actually works pretty good. I wouldn't count on it protecting a severe drop, but clumsy drops seem ok. I did order one from China and waiting on it too. But this was delivered in...

    "Unlimited" for $40/month for unlocked iPhones

    Do you have to plug the router into the phone? or does it take the hotspot signal and share that? I purchased PDANet and it is working. Takes a few moments to set up my devices. And when I want to connect, it is an extra step, but works good so far.

    Best cell phone plan deal of the moment, Visible by Verizon?

    I have had it for a week and I live in a very congested Verizon area. I have tested throughout the day and I get consistent speeds. Anywhere from 10mb up to 40mb depending on which side of my home I am on. Signal is better on one side as I live on the side of a hill from the tower. I bought the...

    Good news for me. PayPal came through and is showing a credit that will be sent to my debit card I used. They are probably getting lots of requests. Folks should give it a try to get your $ back. Not sure of time frames, but worth a try.

    How did you get the refund? Did you go through PayPal to file a claim?

    verizon hot spot

    I am at my home in an urban area. I am a few miles from the tower so it seems. The high frequency that Sprint uses ( the PC for People Hotspot), seems to make the data speed higher when the signal is low. So that is a good thing. How close do you need to be? A few miles and keep in mind, line of...

    WeBoost 4G-S and Sprint

    I purchased the refurb WeBoost 4G-S booster. I have a ATT Phone, Verizon Hotspot and recently purchased PCforPeople Sprint Hotspot. I was hoping to use the booster with the Sprint hotspot, but come to find out, the frequencies are too high for the booster (From Support at WeBoost). Any boosters...

    I put in a claim too. I am doubtful anything will happen, but we shall see.

    What happens with the claims? Is he liable for them or does PayPal just eat it?
