Re: Surprised?? Sprint doesn't have a gateway in Walnut Creek, CA. Virgin Mobile does. Similar concept to how DataJack's TMo gateway is in Rackspace at Dallas...same as any other white-label TMo 3G provider. |

| which is something you're not required to have. If they did all the providers that pop up as resellers/private label providers wouldn't be able to put up.
hell. Kroger Company has their own cell company from Sprint.

kudos:2 | It's a cost-cutting thing to have your own gateway, provided you push enough traffic through it.
That's why Millenicom MBB is $70 and Virgin Mobile MBB is $40. |

| said by iansltx:Wait, I thought they used Verizon... Yea I did too. But they once again have changed their mind. They told me in an E-Mail they are now using Sprint infrastructure, and it look's that way because their coverage map matches Sprint's native EVDO network.

it maybe cost-cutting but its not required that's my point. And as far as VM; they can afford to do that. Look who owns them. And they're making their $$ of people not being able to go over and go months without paying the bill. Thats where Sprint makes their $$$ to offset their post paid customers that don't pay. Prepaid customers make up for those.

and i know this. i never said anything about it being below except that Sprint has their $$$ off those customers well before their contracted customers. They give those customers the same thing TMO does. cheap services if you do the month to month service.
