Testing Verizon & Sprint EVDO From the Same Laptop

Michael

So, you cannot figure out which service to go with? Do you go with Verizon or do you go with Sprint? You can read EVDOforums.com and get people opinions, you can read Verizon's web site and hear how they have better coverage, you can read Sprint's web site with the same claims.

As of the writing of this story (10/4/2005), Verizon has much deeper and wider coverage than Sprint, BUT it is a moving target, it is best to check and double check before making a decision.

Did you know that both Verizon and Sprint offer you the option to try their service and be able to return it (during the trial period), IF you are not completely happy with it.

So, if you want to test Verizon and Sprint from the same laptop, it is possible to do. You need to get the Verizon Novatel V620 and the Sprint Merlin S620 cards. These cards are technically identical, however, one works with Verizon and one works with Sprint.

Here are the steps to follow:

When you are done, you can now use Verizon's VZAccess Manager for BOTH Verizon and Sprint. This will allow you to easily see Signal Strength (you need to rotate cards), and easily test BOTH Verizon and Sprint from the same laptop.
