Little background.

After 18 years in the telecom industry, i have made the switch to long haul trucking. Since my current mobile provider has a cap of 200 gigs, i need something unlimited.

Does anyone have any experience with the services from tmobile/walmart/etc. I am going to probably get one of the single user mobile inet cards/usb adapters for my laptop and use my 200 gigs for mobile radio while im driving.

Any suggestions/experiences are greatly appreciated.

As far as I know, only Sprint's got unlimited data. Virgin Mobile (a subsidiary of Sprint) also has unlimited data, but it's cheaper to get an Android phone with $35/m plan (no contract) than the $50/m (no contract) usb gadget. If you root the phone, you can use wireless tethering (or wired tethering, on some phones). I have an Epic on Sprint that I use to tether my notebook/tablet to on the go.

Thanks for the info. Definently want sprint/subsidiary. They seem to have better 3g coverage along the interstates than at&t.


Going to attempt mobile macroing. :-)


Does sprint have some way to lock out tethering on their phones? I ask because with my current at&t android phone i found a non-market app that lets me tether and masks it.
