Yesterday, my wife asked if I wanted to come with her to pick up our son that was spending the day at my parents. I asked her what time and she said that she’d leave around 4pm. Hmmm, I had a 4 pm meeting. I said “sure”, but she’d have to drive. 4 pm came around, I got on my phone call, turned on my Sprint MiFi, switched my Mac over to the MiFi’s network and was all set.
I hopped in the car, put the MiFi on the dash and my wife drove. The hard part was seeing my screen, so I had to put a jacket over the screen.
No one was the wiser about my mobile office! We didn’t encounter any dead cell spots, so the call went flawlessly and I was connected for the entire 30 minute or so ride.
I’ve had a MiFi for about a year, but for some reason I didn’t use it much. Now that I’m paying for my own service, I feel compelled to use it to its fullest.
