"sprint's budget brand: $79 for a wimax+3g hotspot"
I had to look for it, but here it is, apparently Sprint uses the Virgin brand name in the US:

I'll be in the US for the rest of the year, so I'm buying one of these - way cheaper than international roaming. Thanks for the tip!

- stephengillie 14y ago@parent comment: Virgin is an MNVO that buys airtime from Sprint and resells it. @GP comment: AND you can just buy a CLEAR hotspot for $50 and pay $50/mo for their unlimited service. edit: tried to make it more clear...
- STRML 14y agoRight - but that's WiMAX only. TBH the extra $30/mo is great to connectivity almost everywhere, even if it is awful EVDO Rev A. You can also do the same with a rooted android Sprint phone... and get phone service to boot. IMO a better deal.
- trotsky 14y agoIt's perhaps of questionable importance, but while virgin usa used to be a sprint partnership mvno, sprint bought them outright in 2009. Sprint also owns 54% of Clear.
