It runs on Sprints network if you want to check coverage, I was told coverage is bad if you go with 4g only, while 3g/4g provides continuous coverage. I've been using it for a month now and its well worth it for me. I only need it for Waze traffic updates for navi to avoid backups on my way to work. I paid $20 initially to sign up which included both a usb dongle and a WiFi device. Still can't get the usb device (Sierra wireless 250u) to work though  |
I use PdaNet on my Android phone, also Verizon, it allows you to create a WiFi hotspot, Bluetooth hotspot, or tether via USB to a computer. It works great with my iPad and laptop, I'm sure it would work fine with the HU. Currently its a one time fee of like $8 and you can use the code as many times as you want. The only downside would be turning it on every time you wanted to use it in the car. Apologies if I'm not supposed to post things like this here!
