I have a freedompop hotspot, it's a Sierra Wireless Overdrive Pro. I got it in 2013 and it has served me pretty well. 4G coverage was spotty, so I paid the $3.99/month off and on (mostly off) for 3G coverage depending on my travel plans. At some point in the last few years, the device stopped being able to use 4G, so now it only works with 3G; i.e. only when I'm paying the $3.99/month. I am thinking 4G coverage has gotten better since then, and I'd like to buy another freedompop hotspot device that supports 4G to try to get away with completely free service.
I'm wondering if anyone has a freedompop account with more than one device, and if they get the 500 free MB with each device, or if it is just 500 free per account. I suppose I could have DH sign up for one if it is limited to 500 MB per account.
Any recommendation on devices? I'm considering:
Netgear Mingle, $20, same CDMA coverage as my current device, but also 4G friendly.
Sierra Wireless 803S, $20, ditto on coverage and 4G capabilities as the Mingle.
Novatel Wireless MiFi 2, $30, but it's GSM coverage, so less spotty, but only 200 MB free.
Lastly, anyone want to be freedompop friends with me? I almost never get near the 500 MB, but I use it quite infrequently for fear of going over.
