How Does RovAir Mobile Broadband Rental Work?
<< (Page 2 of 4: RovAir Mobile Broadband Rental Review) >>
Like most mobile broadband rental companies, there are 4 steps:
- Order Your Broadband Card (of Device)
- Receive in your mail via courier
- Install software, plug in your broadband card, use it
- Return it via a prepaid mailing envelope.
The process doesn’t change much from provider to provider.
Instead, the major differences come down to the company, how much it costs, the underlying network provider (speed & coverage) and what devices you can get.
RovAir relies on Sprint & Verizon’s mobile broadband networks (you’ll be able to tell which network you’re on based on your broadband card). As such, they inherit their 3G speed & coverage:
