hi guys, am wondering. i want to get a mifi. i have two choices.
one, i get a sim with surf more data plan of 5GB for RM75. then just buy a mifi device. insert the sim and tadaaah! i get constant data throughout the day but only 5GB quota. problem is i have extra cost to buy mifi.
or i could just get maxis's wireless broadband 8GB for 68 bucks. prob is it has a peak/non-peak hours and also i'm tied to a 12 moth contract. although at least i don't have the hassle to find seperate mifi..
so what do you guys think?

Anyway, as aeiou228 mentioned, a portable router is better that's why i'm going for mifi. it has battery and it is portable. it's just that i'm not sure which to choose. either the already maxis broadband wireless that already gives mifi for free or get the surfmore plan and look for a mifi device myself

QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Jan 20 2013, 12:27 AM) Mifi is convenient but it has the disadvantage of the following : 1. Mifi Modem is builtin and you can't upgrade to faster modem in the future. Whereas portable 3g wifi router and USB 3G modem are two separate items. You have the flexibilty to upgrade to fastest HSPA+ USB modem as and when you like. 2. Mifi is expensive and if you just top up a little more money, you might as well buy a low end android phone which can be double up as mifi too. 1. I thught mifi modem can change sim cards? If so that means can upgrade right? 2. I'd rather not have another phone, i have no need to bring another phone for me
