Virgin Mobile MIFI hotspot

Well, I need an internet access in the USA. I found Virgin Mobile deal to be cheaper than other carriers.
This is the device + 35 USD plan:

Does someone here have experience with this?

Coverage is sprint based and speeds are slow

I was getting only 27kb in Phoenix. It's worthless, so slow you can't even open a web page.

Free 7" Tablet From Sprint!

Hey, it's not a Nexus 7...but not bad for free!
Buy a Sprint Phone get a ZTE Optik Tablet for FREE

Not a bad tablet for free, although I imagine they will make you get a data contract for it. It has the same display the Nexus 7 has, a 1280x800 at 7". Only downside is its running HC which is still much better than GB on a tablet. Although XDA has a fix for that as there appears to be unofficial CM9/CM10 builds out there:

I believe theres a data plan contract tied to it,some sites are confirming this

AT&T is the way to go

Or T-Mobile

So I have this idea...

I was hoping to get some opinions on this idea since T-Mobile's coverage is pretty bad in my neighborhood. I'm thinking of porting my number to Google voice then pointing it to a Skype number and running it all through clear 4g for $50/mo unlimited with unlimited calling on Skype for $3/mo. Thoughts?

Depends on if you want to have a phone when you really need it. VoIP is useless without a high speed connection.

If you don't have a good cell coverage, nothing will magically give you a reliable service, unless you have WiFi everywhere you go.

Save yourself from the trouble and switch to AT&T. I really think it's a ridiculous idea.

New user. ..

I just switched from the note 2 from Verizon to the g2 on sprint. The employee told me not to get this phone because of data issues. I said whatever and got it anyway.. So now its acting up..lol I cant seem to find any fix that would solve me problem. They're currently rolling out 4g in my area. Im fed up with this on the first day. Im in the process of trying dialer codes now but they are not working... If anybody.....anybody can help please help a brother out.

What Android version are you running? I've seen a few with 4.3 having connection issues.
