Thanks Ed, Chrysler sells these devices integrated with their autos so you have a hot spot wherever your car is. When the Sears guys were here this week working on the washing machine, their clunky laptop is connected via their vehicle as were the AT&T guys with their iPads, through their trucks.
What I was getting at, if you purchase a MiFi then will it be with that ONE vendor, or will it pick up the cellular from ANY vendor? That is what I am wanting but is there such a beast out there? If I am in Borden Indiana AT&T is worthless, Verizon great, while in Salem Verizon is not near as good as AT&T. As we travel there are times each of the systems are weak or non-existant. So, if the MiFi's work only on a designated service then I am back to purchasing one from each vendor. But, if it will work on ANY of the systems then that is what I really need. If there is such an device and any of you know where to pick these up please send the info.
