  1. Jimmysmith22 - We use both the Sprint MiFi from TechConnect and Visible. Visible runs on Verizon's network. $40/month unlimited data. You can get it cheaper if you hook up with someone else (see their website). Of course their are limitations. The biggest is that your bandwidth is capped at 5Mb. Enough for browsing the internet, but streaming or playing games probably isn't going to work very well. Also, you have to use a phone that is compatible with their service, not a MiFi/Hotspot device (not a great selection, we use the cheapest ZTE phone). Finally, using the phone as a hotspot, you can only connect one device. We have a travel router in our trailer that our computers and other devices connect to. The travel router then connects to the Sprint MiFi or the Visible phone, whichever gets better service. Having the router connect to the Visible phone gets around their limitation of one device. When on the Visible phone, even capped at 5Mb, there is enough bandwidth for my wife and I to work connected to remote environments and making calls using Skype or MS-Teams. If we are using the Visible phone, streaming TV will pause for buffering but usually not enough to be too annoying. As Sprint converts more to T-Mobile, we have been using the Sprint MiFi more and more. Mike
