So I take back everything bad I said about Sprint’s AIRAVE.
After looking at this page for the 600th time I realized that most of the monthly fees associated with this device were not required ( the word “optional” should have been a dead giveaway ).
The “Unlimited Calling Plan” monthly fees simply allow you to use your phone over your AIRAVE connection without using up your normal contract minutes. Well this certainly isn’t a problem for me — and probably shouldn’t be for anybody since Sprint let’s you call ANY mobile network for FREE. I have the smallest family plan available with unlimited data which has 1500 anytime minutes. Wife and I only use about 200 minutes per month! So sure, let this thing go ahead and gobble up my anytime minutes — somebody needs to.
So anyway, I dropped the $100 on the box and I’m giving Sprint another $4 per month for the use of the box, but I’m okay with that. For the first time in 8 months, I have unbelievable signal strength! I love it… no more dropped calls, no more “what’d you say dude? you’re breaking up…”.
Great device. Now highly recommended.
