Unlimited Sprint LTE for $14 a month.

[jimindenver]

I found this on Howardforums. 4GCommunity.org has a service that for $250 the first year and $168 a year ($14 a month) after that you get unlimited Sprint LTE. The first year includes the hotspot and service but they have shorter term deals to.

There are no low income requirements and it's not on the shady side like the Verizon 3G. A pretty good deal for unlimited IF you have Sprint coverage.

I just ordered my hotspot from 4Gcommunity.org. I did get the $14 a month version for a total payment of $265 for the first year. That included the hotspot, 12 months of unlimited Sprint LTE service and a one time membership fee of $15. I'll receive a invoice in 11 months for $168 for the next year.

They now have a more expensive option that uses the ability to combine the different antennas Sprint uses for faster speeds called carrier aggregation. It is $410 for the first year and $250 a year after that. I have CA on some of my devices and even with all three LTE antennas available they rarely connect to more than one. You can also do 1, 3, or 6 month plans or pay the hotspot off in payments.

I'll let you know how it goes when I get it.

After I started traveling I found sprint was not where I was often enough to change services.

 

[jimindenver]

It isn't switching for me, it's adding. I have some sort of service on all four carriers, three of those unlimited in one way or another for $35 a month. Certainly not as simple and convenient as a unlimited, unthrottled Verizon account but I can't justify the cost. The only thing I don't have is roaming on private towers.

Is there a way to test to see what the Sprint connection is like at a certain location?

 

[jimindenver]

There are carrier maps and user report maps but I have been outside of the service areas shown and got a usable signal. My house is just outside for instance.

Try it and see. I've got two devices on freedompop (sprint) and where I am now one gets usable 3g most of the time and the other gets nothing. The time keeps changing on the usable one, I must be between CA and AZ towers and it can't decide which to use.

as far as getting SPRINT and TMOBILE to work in the rural areas, make sure you have some kind of external antenna booster system that can take the cellular data signal and move it into your RV. And make sure you take advantage of whatever is their newest signal transmission. 4GLTE or whatever is the sprint or tmobile equivalent.

as for myself, am seriously looking at the $140 per month Verizon 200gig business account via their MIFI device (a year from now). We all know that VERIZON will work, if anyone does, in most areas of the USA. Right now am not mobile and I pay $135 per month for unlimited fixed internet from AT&T, and two cell phones each with 5gigs per month. If I switch over a year from now I will be spending $185 a month (we will keep one cell phone plan) and just use a VOIP cellphone with the hotspot (so I will have two).

Its sounds like not a bad situation. Plus if I get near my 200gigs limit I can just use starbucks or mcdonalds for wifi. Many use this amount of data if they are uploading videos to YOUTUBE or their sponsored web/blog pages. Plus others need it for work if they are mobile.

I went for the sprint Karma last year. never did get a signal on it. Thankfully, there's no monthly charge unless I connect. A lot of other people returned theirs. I've had other priorities or I would have, too.

 

[jimindenver]

I don't expect Sprint to work everywhere, that's why I have all four networks. Hopefully one gets a usable signal and if more, who's the fastest. Now if I do get into a area with Sprint, unlimited high speed for $14 a month is great. The Verizon 3G is a great deal too but pretty slow in comparison. The T-Mobile binge on is sweet until you get burned out on you tube and Netflix. The Cricket unlimited is too expensive for phone only and no roaming. I'll have to depend on the FreedomPop Global sims if AT&T is all there is to have.

I received the hotspot today and took a few hours off to test it out. I have to say it's working great. I don't get the greatest Sprint signal here at the house and I've been streaming you tube, netflix and Amazon prime video at higher rates than I get with T-Mobile and Binge on with no problems. A bit weak in the control department via the hotspots manager but I can live with it considering it's a year of unlimited high speed for $250.

 

[jimindenver]

I ran a speed test and it gave me the best Sprint speed I have seen here with one bar of signal. Over 5 down and 3 up and I'm not in the coverage maps.

I'm sorry I missed this but yes I have used it a number of times out here on the road. When it gets the best signal it is so much faster than the rest it isn't even a contest as it can pull down twice as fast as Tmo, four time as fast as cricket and tens time as fast as Verizon 3G. Two weeks ago in the casino parking lot it felt like I was on high speed cable as nothing even buffered at all. It just started playing.

:-/ I'm so confused......My CenLink home service is about $65mo. I have a land line, unlimited local and long distance service, wifi.  I' don't know if it's high speed...I know I'm not    All I do on my tablet is CRLV, YOUTUBE, Movies and wander around on the net.  I need something I can travel with and use now in my apt.  any suggesstions....money might be an object.

So worth the investment. $15 x 12 is $180 per year. Versus trying to chase down a good wifi connection and buying a wifi ranger to make it work well. Good to know. When I go mobile will consider it.

Is it using 3G data speed or 4G data speed?

The first year it is $250 for the service and device. The second year it is $164 for just the service.  They do have another service now that includes 3G and the ability to use multiple towers but it works out to $25 a month. The LTE only is fast enough for me and the 3G is pretty slow considering I have other devices.
