    Karma Go

    in Hotspots/USB Modems

    Posted

    Got my Karma Go in today. Works like a charm, to the point that I went ahead and dropped my data-only postpaid lines (eating the ETF, but I can live with that, particularly since I still have 3GB of tethering on my phone).

     

    It's been a long road since I ordered the Go back in September (the 23rd). But having a hotspot that doesn't cost me per month to keep going...that will work wherever Sprint has 3G or LTE...is nice.

     

    That is AWESOME to hear!

     

    The same reason why I wanted one. Seeing as I'm going to use mine more for my business, it's nice to know I'll have as much as I need when I need it.

     

    Did you have any hiccups or slow points in setting up or activation? How long did it take for you? Also, how is RF performance on it?

    Just my $0.02, but I don't see the G4 selling well because of fierce competition from Apple and Samsung. That, and maybe LG still leaves a bad taste in people's mouths from the Optimus G days of dysfunctional SMS.

    My tired brain totally blanked on that aspect of it... everything kinda all came out at the same time.

     

    Good points.

    Could low sales of the G4 be because of the G3 doing so well? Were as people are still on contract and/or they are happy with their G3 that they don't see a need to switch/upgrade quite yet until they get more out of the G3?

     

    Granted there is C.A. and greater RF performance in the G4 and some other minor upgrades over the G3, but to me nothing overly "major." But I guess that's just my opinion.

    Wahoo! US Cellullar (and other) EV-DO Roaming Is Live

    I live in a US Cellular area and noticed in the last several days my Uconnect in my Dodge pickup now show's 3G instead of 1X. I had been wondering if other devices besides phones would have access to US Cellular coverage..guess they do.

     

    Sorry to "off-road" this thread a bit, but how well does that hotspot work? I'm attempting to save for a new Jeep Cherokee and that would just be an awesome thing to have in my opinion.

     

    Also for anyone curious... here is the coverage map for UConnect: http://www.driveuconnect.com/coverage/

     

    Good ol' small coverage map! ;)

    What parts of Iowa have band 41? I havent gotten it when ive been there so Im just wondering.

     

    If memory serves, I think Des Moines?

     

    But if there are any, its not much. Similar to here in North Wisconsin, Iowa is sitting with a ton of 3G only towers.

    Anybody having tower issues?[/quot

     

    I woke up this morning and phone was on 3g, normally I'm parked on -90 to-95db b41 signal. Hopefully they were making improvements.

     

    From about midnight to just before 4 this morning, my full NV build tower here in Greenville was 100% dead. I either had 1x800 connection at the other tower here in Greenville a mile or two down the road or I was roaming on U.S. Cellular. 

     

    When I went to go check Down Detector's website, there was a massive red circle over Appleton, Milwaukee and Madison. So something definitely did happen, especially in Wisconsin.

    Karma Go

    I'm quite happy they are doing this... "Updating our login process"

     

    For some, people like that they can use Facebook to do a quick log in to a website. However as they mentioned in the article, there is a security risk as well as a possible hiccup in trying to get on to the hotspot because of the Facebook pop-up window.

    Here... We... Gooooooo!

     

    As of today, shipping will start in 10 days, all of the pre-orders will be fulfilled within 45 days.

     

    While they didn't mention it in this article, Karma sent me an email saying they are having a BOGO sale on data where what you buy (either 1GB, 5GB or 10GB) they will include the same amount that you bought for FREE! I'm not sure if this is for everyone or just people who pre-ordered a Go.

     

    But anyways you can get 20GB of data for $99... :tu:

    I've been messaging Karma and asking about possible carrier aggregation on the Go... 

     

    When I asked they said "We won't support carrier aggregation for now, but we do support band 41." 

     

    So... It could be a possibility that it could become compatible in the future. When they finish getting back to me, I'll update the O.P. with their answer.
