3 MiFi Wireless Modem E585 Review

[xXHBunnXx]

Just collected my 3 MiFi and going to set it up soon, I must admit this is the only good review on YouTube. This had the information I needed :) Thanks

[rick6456]

DO ANY ONE KNOWS IF YOU CAN TAKE PRSON OFF THE DONGLE PLEASE?

[TheNorthernSoulKing]

Is there any mi fi that does not require any monthly fees? Does Time Warner Cable offer one? Thank you

[crazyWalsh]

i have one of these too ( 3 mifi ) . i live in ireland and i want to open the nat type from modern to OPEN . whenever i type my ip in i cant get to admin page to change my UPnP. can someone help me change my nat type ?? 3 Mifi E5830

[Danster82]

Why does it need to be associated with apple products? it works with any wireless compatible device.

What I want to know about this device is why would you need it when you can run a wifi hotspot from just about any smartphone... does it provide any additional functionality....?

[ey143]

In this video you said you got a 3-month topup for GBP 8. I cant find such a voucher or topup anywhere on ebay. Please post a link?

Thanks

[TheMuhammad08]

I have it and love it

[MightyDawq]

@TheMuhammad08 do u have to pay a monthly fee?

[BRm2008]

i dont travel but i like to have a portable net for ipod and even at home. where u can lay it down and have no damn cords.

[npeacock724]

Megabits* per second. Not megabytes.

[joycerosemarie]

can you use this with a motorola xoom wi fi only tablet

[airburs]

@theunits3 hi how do i tell the router number for 1 of these?

[conordunl]

I'm in Ireland and i have this modem, and the speeds i get are nothing compared to the speeds your gettin. Im pretty sickened because i have a years contract and I'm trying everything to cancel it and change back to my original provider, which was pretty fast. Customer support is a balls with 3, shower of wankers. who have you chattin on a phone for an hour then they hang up. Anthony from 3, your sir are a born and bread cunt. ps is there anything i can do to get out of this contract

[TheVampire2506]

rember a person owns the hotspot too

[glitchmasterbill67y]

so this makes a hotspot so i dont need a router or phone line im using a 3 dongle on my laptop to go on xbox live and it lags like crazy now

[MrSound08]

be using this for 3 years now the 1st one out.. my mum has it now as she cant get broadband out there

[imposs2010]

I link this to my xbox

[AlexandervsSasha]

So can I use this Router while it is being charged through a wall???? Thnx

[jehboy]

Hi, Do you reckon this would work in Germany with a pay-&-go data sim from a germany provider? e.g. O2 de, t-mobile etc? rgds James

[nylecrane2k7]

How bad is 3's mobile phone coverage? I'm not too bothered about the customer service, I just care about having decent network coverage.

[a380person]

@nylecrane2k7 3's network coverage for me is amazing, i always get a decent 3G connection when i'm out and about, abd i feel that 3's speeds are a little faster then o2 etc...

[tantanman2852]

great video! This may be a stupid question, but can you use it while charging it (via the wall charger?)

Thanks bud!

[MrHardn]

Anybody know what speed is average from 3 with this in the Bray (south east Ireland) area? They say I should get the max which is 7.2mbs! But I find it to hard to believe

[MastrEcko]

Is it worth getting this 3 MiFi instead of using the iPhone personal hotspot feature?

[finbarh6]

you say buy the contract 39.99 a month, when and if you cancel it after the first month do you keep the MiFi/WiFi wireless router? or do 3 ask for it back?......

[theunits3]

@finbarh6 nop you keep it. They dont ask for it as your clearly entering into a 1 month contract with them ;). When you do phone up to cancel, they do offer some great deals though i.e. they offered me 5GB for £6.99 for 3 months. Would of taken it but dont use the mifi as much so ask them to cancel it entirely.

[c53204]

Been using one of these for over 6 months now. Faster and better coverage than Vodafone (in my area of UK). Would like a little more battery life, but I often use my Powermonkey solar panel to charge it directly

[BarnabyTV]

I use my iPhone 4's Personal Hotspot, but with these can you put a password on it so the person sitting next to you on the train can't use it?

[finbarh6]

@BarnabyTV its like a home wireless router you need the WEP key on the back of the divice to use it :) hope this helped

[TechThoughts]

3 is a terrible company here in sweden if you dont live in a city you cant take or make calls if your inside an house...

[iTechEverything]

or you can use personal hot spot that is built into your iphone and you don't have to carry an extra device and pay another service fee.....

[oli3659]

Use mine with my ipad :)

[RussWWFC]

I love my MyFi, pay £5 a month for 1GB, hardly ever use it but it's handy to have as a backup. As for 3's phone network, was good for me, better speeds and coverage than I get on T-Mobile.

Agree about Customer Service, but as long as you are persistent you get what you need in the end

[eddkahn]

Hey I like your videos but just a couple of pieces of constructive criticism on the overall quality!

When you have close ups the lighting needs to be sorted as it makes the product looks bad. Also when you zoom/dolly I would recommend making it smoother (you could perhaps zoom on your video editing software?)

Also, I would recommend you practice your focusing :P

but like I said, I enjoy your videos but just a few things I thought could be better.

[theunits3]

@eddkahn cheers bud for the comments, appreciate it. Will try and work on this. Still kinda messing about with the DSLR, will get the hang of it eventually.

[applejamjar]

I just use my iphone 4 thats on 3 with an unlimited data package, only connects 3 devies though =(

[Mrshane2010]

im on three and i use personel hotspot on my iphone cos i have all you can eat data and just connect my other devices to my iphone 4

[bvsveera]

3 is good in the UK? 3 in Australia is terrible! Always getting random drops in signal strength and 3 does not offer 3G in Newcastle (NSW)! Should've gone with Telstra.

[jaysenstudios]

This is much cheaper than getting a 3g in your iphone 4 plan :D

[ldkellandshaw]

@iGlasweigan That A330 certainly isn't to scale! You don't collect do you? Unfortunately for my bank balance I do, and have about 200 pieces of various airlines. Of course I have a full Emirates fleet, be rude not to have my employers planes!

[rockerAD96]

I just got one yesterday and was going to ask you about it on twitter! :D

[GTechZero]

@theunits3 witch would you recommend 3 or o2?

[trulymobile]

Been using one ever seen they first came out over 2 years ago, before that used the three dongle. I've not had normal broadband or even a landline for about 6 years.

Always worked well for me.

[mbaseballpro2]

Hi i had a quick question would this work in the usa if not what is a hotspot i can get with pay as you go sim from ebay Thanks- Mike

[theunits3]

@mbaseballpro2 I believe its unlockable - which means you can use any network/sim in it. Not sure if it will work in the US though. Why don't you opt for the Sprint/Verizon Mifi hotspots?

[mbaseballpro2]

@theunits3 i dont want to pay monthly any pre paid in the us thanks mike

[gavinjamesaitken1]

nooo you have ads now on your youtube vids :(

[RWVideos123]

but couldnt you just use your iphone and used your data allowance by using the new feature in 4.3.2 or you use miwi if ur jailbroken, but yh 3's customer care is awful.

[JackAndrew95]

I've got one of these, I unlocked it myself and just stick my Orange contract SIM with Unlimited data in it when i need to use it ^-^

[DazzaMeach]

Tethering my 3 Blackberry to my computer gets better speeds than my home ISP, although the network coverage is shockingly terrible in my house!

[CharlieMiller694]

Dude what's the SD card slot for?

[mada9898]

When's the White iPhone 4 unboxing video coming? ;-) :-P

[099090ify]

why dont you just hack your iphone and download MiFi

creates wifi up to 6 devices

[norman201]

youve been to Dubai? thats where i was born in... how is it there now? im in canada...

[Greeners1971]

Good vid, i was thinking of buying one, now I can get it for 40 quid then buy top up sim from eBay, that's cool.

[theunits3]

@Greeners1971 yup, thats what ive been doing for the past few months :D

[randomrazr]

hey theunits,

if u had a chance to chose again, would you get the white iphone 4 ror the black?

[theunits3]

@randomrazr nop, never. Its only a diff colour, no new features. Anyone whos been waiting months on end for a colour needs checked out.

[randomrazr]

@theunits3 no i mean if the white was available the first time around when it was released, would u have gone for white instead of black?

im getting a new iphone 4, cant decide which color lol

[theunits3]

@randomrazr oh erm, I would go with black - always have. Don't mind tbh as I always put a case on it anyway, so not bothered. HOWEVER, if you are looking to get a white one - beware that its slightly thicker meaning current iPhone 4 cases on store shelves won't fit the white one. You may need to wait a little once accessory manufacturers have bought out new ones.

[randomrazr]

@theunits3 would that include the otterbox defender? lol

[skullzalliances]

@theunits3 just like the CDMA fiasco

[iJbreak]

@randomrazr the white iphone 4 has an updated proximity sensor

[your0mum0avenger]

@theunits3 the white iphone is also thicker

[eddieaa21]

Ive had the 3 mifi for over 8months now and i have used it for everything, iphones, blackberrys, ipads, macbooks, even gaming on the xbox 360 and has done me fine i pay £15 a month for 15GB

[tomohoppo1]

LOVE this thing its amazingg, the deal of £123 for 12gb of data for use over 12 months is about the same price ( maybe slightly less) and for people who are sceptical over using the ebay way its worth a shot. and i ENJOYED the video :)

[Jredgrave128]

good reveiw nice to see a good reviewer from the uk

[tantanman2852]

ahh bro thanks a lot for putting this up!! Ever since you mentioned it on ustream the other day I've been wanting to know more about it ! :D

[tantanman2852]

@tantanman2852 oh and ps the speeds you showed in this video are faster than my home broadband connection...

[MrNando5556]

Awesome as usual but whats with the toy plane ...

[git2348]

love love love this device have it a long while now and is my main internet connection where i am as i live miles from anywhere and still decent quality signal and long lasting battery would definitely recommend to anyone! nice review man!

[masterlocke100]

golden showers.

[tonyutter]

For mobile in the US, I am using the wifi hotspot feature on my Epic 4G on Sprint. Not as flexible as a pay-as-you-go option, but not bad. So far, best speed has been 4 down and 1 up.

[theunits3]

@tonyutter nice one. Isn't the Verizon one pretty famous? I like this 3 one personally as it allows numberous devices to be connected, network coverage is impressive, good build quality, pay as you go plan and you can use it over 3 months ;)

[tonyutter]

@theunits3 Yes, that one is famous. Verizon also released a 4G LTE mifi as well as one from Samsung. As for my phone, I can also connect devices simultaneously, up to 5.

[MrItsChris]

Hey mate. Great review.

[theunits3]

@MrItsChris cheers buddy

[KennyMataz]

i was thinking about getting one, 3 has great speeds here in Ireland
