Accessories Virgin Mobile's Broadband2go

walt526 · 06-03-2010, 04:21 AM

Has anyone tried using a "Broadband2go" USB 3G card from Virgin Mobile on the eDGe?

Or, alternatively, does anyone know of a pay-as-go provider that works with mifi other than Verizon (where it would be $15/day as a day plus an outrageously expensive piece of hardware if purchased without a contract)?

Sprint offers MiFi devices, but I'm not sure if they're compatible with the eDGe.

Sprint offers mifi, but not a pay-as-you-go plan (as far as I can tell).

I'm going to be driving cross-country and moving later this summer. Virgin's $60 for 5gb (expires after 30 days) would be perfect for me. Although it's not the most cost-effective option, I really don't need a two year contract since I'll have ready access to wifi at home and on campus nearly all of the time. I just want 3G for when I'm traveling--which isn't very often.

Alternatively, has anyone had success connecting to the internet on the eDGe using a CradlePoint PHS300?
