So I am thinking about getting a prepaid Cricket for use solely as a wireless broadband modem for a laptop or UMPC.
I would just get a regular broadband card but chances are I will only use it here and there.
I already have the AT&T PDA data plan on my phone, but I am thinking I need a backup. This would only be used if i was using a lot of data on AT&T (they don't like you going over 5 gigs per month). So it would be used at most for a day or 2, here and there, at the end of the month. And that is only if I hit my 5 gigs on AT&T first (which is not very often).
I am about to be out in the field more than in the past (for the next couple months) so I don't want to run out of data.
Having said all that- what is the best Cricket phone to tether? USB, WiFi, Bluetooth, would all be aceptable to connect to the laptop (and the more options the better).
Which cricket phone has the fastest internet and is the easiest to tether? And can I use it on pre pay?
Would it have to be a Cricket phone or could I use a Sprint or Verizon phone? What specs would I need to look for to make it work on Cricket pre pay?
