Using a MiFi on Cell C...

[gtway]

Hi,

The interwebs says that a MiFi works just fine on Cell C, only gives you a max speed of 7.2M tho... Which is the best Mifi to get? Novatel (Some over R3,000) or Huawei (you can pick up one for like R1,200)...

I read somewhere that the Huawei B970b supports UTMS 900.

Edit: yes it shows on here: http://www.soundofthecity.co.za/packages/datapromotion_bundles/modem-compatibility

Thanks for the reply... I checked the link out, but I don't think that is a MiFi device, just a modem...

That is a 3G router. You plug your sim card into it and it creates a wireless hotspot that shares the internet connection.

Can you define a "MiFi device" for me please?
