Moving to a Rural area, and this modem seems like a good choice. But will it work on the Sprint network as it's predicessor did not? Thanks. Warhascome

  So why is that? It does not support Sprint. It supports AT&T, which has no reception where I live. But sprint, it is about 120 down 20 up vs AT&T 3 down 1 up. Sprint does do Sim cards, so why does it not support Sprint? Software flash update? The fact you did not know Sprint has Sim cards?

    Verizon has its own techinical approval process to allow a device to work in its network. MR1100 didn't have that approval. If you use Verizon SIM card in MR1100, it may work initially, but there is a chance that Verizon may block the service to MR1100.

Got mine to work perfctly on Verizon today, using a tracfone APN setup, and when i shut it off to go back to my ATT sim card, it actually saved my settings, Worked great. Yopu do have to add the APN setup before it will work.
