So I went to pick up the Virgin Mobile "Broadband2Go" ....

[Betallsports]

Just figure I would try this out.

I have Everything Verizon, House phone, FiOs, cell....

But i really didn't want to sign a 2 Year Agreement for Wireless Mobile. and pay $60 a month !!

So I am Trying the Broadband2Go, by Virgin Mobile.

All you do is Put Money into the account, and whatever you Use..That's what comes off the card.

I will be Testing this card on Wed. Let's see how good it works.

I'm getting a new laptop tomorrow & will be heading to Best Buy after that to pick up BB2Go device.

Basically....you pay $150 for the USB device and load your account as necessary. $40 for 600 MB's should be sufficient for me. The only problem is the expiration time line. Would be much better if they were there to use until you ran out.

It uses Sprint's network BTW.

 

[louisvillekid]

i think Cricket has a no contract broadband thing, it's like 50 a month, but in the fine print you are only allotted so many MB or GB a month, and after that they charge you some crazy rate per kb, or at least i think that is how i read it.

Totally Agree. I asked if they will have it where it will just run out, but they thought it wouldn't happen.
I guess that's where they have you.

But I'll take it, Over a 2 Year Contract Anyday !

Never got a Chance to use it Yesterday.

I was at a Beach Club on the South shore, that had their Own Wireless.
Didn't know they had it, so I just used their's.

I guess the test will be Next week.

 

[Betallsports]

Well I guess we will find out Tomorrow, Just how good this sucker is....

I'll be Out in Hamptons, and Will be using this. (<)<
