I picked up one of these Jet sticks yesterday here in San Diego. I'm on 3G right now but at my hotel (Shelter Island, Point Loma) the 3G service is weak. The good news is that the stick seems capable of handing off between 3G and 2G (unlike Rogers at home) and the IP stays the same.
(Rogers will hand off voice calls, but not data.)
And here we are, handed off to EDGE already. The 3G in my hotel is very flakey.
I'll take my netbook out with the stick and play a bit later today.
If the SIMs are good for a year, that will be perfect actually. I am in the US a couple of times a year or more.
The other issue I have is about roaming. I'm assuming these won't roam in areas where T-Mobile has no native coverage, but I haven't had a chance to try yet.
CA: SaskTel, Wind postpaid; Rogers, Bell postpaid iPad flex plans; US: T-Mobile postpaid data, prepaid voice; PureTalk (AT&T MVNO) prepaid voice/data; AT&T prepaid iPad plan
Hardware: Too much but notably iPhone 5, iPad Mini Retina LTE, Moto G LTE (N.A. version), iPhone 4. All unlocked.
