The 3G / 4G Plug-in (free with a two year contract) Sprint Connect USB is the successor to the USB U600 3G / 4G (4 stars) last year, the choice of the latest Editor 's for Sprint cellular modems . The Plug-in-Connect is essentially the same device, with a new key feature: This is one of the first cellular modems to work offline software, just plug in and you're ready to go.
It is a big step of having to deal with the demanding Sprint SmartView software. And while it supports 4G LTE network next Sprint, the Plug-in-Connect threw in some very fast speeds on WiMAX download - Sprint intends to shutter. However, this would be the most recent election of the editor s, if only it was not so difficult for the Plug-in-Connect to establish a connection in the first place.
Design and Planning
Posted by Franklin Wireless, 3G / 4G Plug-in-Connect is physically identical to the U600. Testing the two side by side, I had to dial modems to differentiate. That's not a bad thing: In 2.9 1.3 0.6 inches (HWD) and 1.1 ounces super lightweight, Connect Plug-in - it's small, portable and attractive. When connected to a USB port, the modem is capable of 180 degrees of vertical movement. This has no effect on the desk, but is useful if you are looking to get the right fit.
There are status lights on the top of the device to indicate whether you are on 3G or 4G mode. They are easy to understand, although a bit dark. Apart from these, there is no external antenna ports each edge modem if you are looking to improve reception.
Sprint offers two different plans for mobile broadband. $ 49.99 per month, 6GB of data is obtained, while $ 79.99 per month for 12 GB is good. Although any of the plans should be more than enough if your main concern is the e-mail and Web access while traveling, is not enough to replace the home connection watch some movies on Netflix and can burn through that information 6GB plan before the weekend is over. If you are a user of heavy data would be better served by a device such as Clear Atlas Stick ($ 49.99, 4 stars), which takes you WiMAX Unlimited for $ 49.99 per month, but not WiMAX supports 3G isn 't available, as plug-in connection - ago.
