I'm looking for a 3g/4g usb dongle that I can plug into my little router here to be a backup when my main ISP is having problems. My problem is I can't find one that will support north American 1900 MHz UMTS (not Edge). Almost all the dongles on Amazon or EBay ship from China and they are European only (2100 MHz). I made the mistake of buying one before and it only works with 2G edge in North America, which isn't actually even available in my area anymore with my cell company.
Does anyone know of where to find an affordable, unlocked, USB 3G dongle that meets American/Canadian 1900 MHz UMTS/HSPA frequencies? I know I can get them from my carrier, but that would be sim-locked to them, and it would be more expensive. I see chinese dongles going for $20 on ebay. Too bad they don't support our frequencies here. thanks. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
