3g/4g?

[fedecape]

HEy guys,

I'm traveling to the US next week and I was wondering which is the best way to have a 3G(or 4G) hotspot. I'd like to be connected everywhere and everytime there's no wifi. I will stay just a month, so long contracts would not work.

I have a Galaxy SII factory unlocked, Can I use it with, for example, an AT&T simcard and create a WiFi hotspot?

You could use your GS2 if you root it and the root bypasses AT&T's way.


I'd try a Verizon MiFi though. Those get really good speeds (25mbps download, consistently, as long as you're in an LTE market).

I'd do virgin mobile. It's month to month.

Root is the only way to tether? I have an option in the menu to create a Hotspot.

That Verizon MiFi sounds interesting.. Is there any way to get it for just a month?

What's "month to month"?

I will stay a month, so contracts would not work.

I read something about a $2 AT&T + 3G data.

I think your best bet would be to buy an AT&T prepaid sim card.

No, there is not. Verizon is nuts about running credit checks and getting address information - even if you're paying up front.

Month to month means no contract so you could use it for just a month.

And how's Virgin mobile 3G coverage?

And how's Virgin mobile 3G coverage?

I believe pretty good. It uses Sprints network. Can't attest to speed, but it should have good availability.
