Free USB Card Comparison: Sprint 597 vs Verizon UM175

Steve here with MoreMobileInternet. Today, we are going to compare two of the free USB cards the sprint C597 here and the UM175 from Verizon here. Obviously, both cards are USB. One is for sprint and one is Verizon. There are other differences, however. First and foremost if, you already have a sprint or a Verizon cellphone, in most cases we recommend getting a broadband card from the same company. This makes it easier for billing and you do not need to do a credit check in order to add another line to your account. The next most important factor is coverage. Go to our site moremobileinternet.com or you can check both maps to see who covers the place you care about most. In general, Verizon has more coverage especially in the more rural areas that does sprint. So from that aspect, Verizon wins in most cases.

GPS is one factor where sprint is the winner, since they offer free GPS built in to the sprint card and you can use it to find anything you might need while in the road. Verizon does not offer GPS. The sprint card also has a slot here for extra memory, as well as it software is preloaded. Whereas with the Verizon card you need an install CD to set up your account. The sprint card also works in more of the mobile routers than the UM175. The one thing I really like about the UM175 though, is the flexible USB here. It really makes it much easier to use on a laptop and it will not break when if it gets bumped. So, those are the main difference between the sprint C597 and UM175 for Verizon.
