MIFi 2200 with IPAD in Europe and Germany

Hi
Does anyone already has experience with the MIFI 2200 in Europe.(MiFI runs on CDMA)
Can I use this unit with Vodaphone ( Verizon owned) or do I have to buy a wireless MOdem for UMTS.
Is there a problem in Puerto Rico with the above unit.
Thanks for the answer

Garry,
Ironically even thought Vodafone is part of the parent organization for Verizon wireless only global Verizon devices can be used on their network. Verizon has a MIFI style device that will work globally called the 5 Spot. Global data gets pretty pricy though. As far as Puerto Rico, it is treated like an American territory and shouldn't give you any problems.

The title says it all , if possible list websites and full product details.
Many Thanks

This case meets all my requirements, however I am not sure that anyone makes one that will work with the dock, except an amoured film shield.

Install Mifi 2200

I hook up the Mifi 2200 with a USB and followed the instructions. VZ access manager. I get downloaded and finish a window pops up saying I need to find driver info for my device. Gives me a choice of online or browse the computer. Im hooking this up for my grandma in the country so I have no internet. The computer finds nothing. She had a different mobile broadband before, I'm wondering if this has something to do with it. How do I make sure everything is removed from the old mobile broadband? What programs am I looking for in the control panel? I am abel to pull up the VZ manager but it detects 0 devices. I unistalled everything in the unistall programs and started again with same results. Keeps telling me I need driver for my device.

My MiFi 2200 appears as a CDROM, with the drivers on it, when it is plugged in to a USB port.
Look at "My Computer" and see if "CD Drive 'E:' Novatel Drivers" appears. Double-click that.
Double-click DriverInstaller.msi, if it didn't start automaticaly when you open the drive.
Does this computer have WiFi? If it does, disconnect the MiFi from the USB, and allow Windows to look for Wireless networks. You should see a "Verizon MIFI2200 3226" as an available wireless network. That doesn't work if the USB is connected.
The required "password" is on a label on the back of the unit, or under the battery, as the ESN Decimal number.
I use Wireless because it is convenient and I can share, but I also use the USB connection once the battery runs down, so it can charge from the computer.

TS4062 itunes stops working while syncing with ipad

Itunes progam closes while syncing with itunes.
Please advise

This is happening to me too.., updated to latest Itunes/McCloud etc directly beforehand. Tried to sync ipad.., keeps saying ITunes has stopped working (I have W7 Ultimate too).
I can see several slightly different ways of resolving this (most seem to involve completely uninstalling ITunes, Quicktime etc.) but a bit confused as to which one is the best way. I don't expect to pay the money I have for an IPAD and then not be able to do the simplest thing with it (synch pc with Ipad) lol.., and have to spend hours trying to install and completely install different apps.
Could someone please have mercy on me and let me know which way works?

MIFI 2200 usage

Can you please tell me how i can find the usage on a given day? FYI,I connect to the web via selection of the MIFI 2200 on the"airport" (mac) and have put the password into my key chain, so nothing pops up,and goes directly to the web (if i have made myself clear)
I have also connected to my USB but don't understand the options.
Thanks

If you visit your MyVerizon account on the Verizon Wireless website or if you look around in the VZAccess Manager for a usage section, I think you should be able to see the data usage on a daily basis. If not, at least you can find your overall data usage for the billing cycle. I'm on a MiFi 2200 right now on vacation since the other connection I have access to is disconnecting constantly, and I know that visiting http://192.168.1.1/ shows the data usage since the last time the MiFi was rebooted.
I use the above address since I do NOT have any Verizon software on my PCs. I'm running the MiFi in Wi-FI mode.

I have a verizon mifi 2200 modem and wonder if an ipad with retina display will connect to it

I have a verizon mifi 2200 modem and wonder if an ipad with retina display will connect with it to use the internet

It should work. Have you tried and it doesn't work?
FYI
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Experience of traveling through Great Britain and Germany with my iPad

I wanted to share my experiences regarding traveling through Great Britain and Germany with my iPad.
It should be noted that my son brought his netbook with iTunes on it so it was simple to get the carrier file for microsims. I think if you are travelling without an additional system for the update, a quick visit to an apple store would take care of it.
*First stop: Scotland/England*
The day after I got to Scotland we found a 3 store. I walked in found a iPad specific sim hanging on the wall, took one and brought it to a rep who took my ten pounds and activated the sim. All in all, it took about five minutes. It popped it in when we got back to the hotel and connected the iPad to my son’s netbook, iTunes popped up, I told it not to sync and then it offered to update the carrier file. I clicked okay and a few minutes later I had 3G up and running with 250 megs of pre-paid data. In my last few days in London I did another 10 pound top-up as we found ourselves relying on the mapping functionality a lot.
Coverage-wise, 3 was quite good. The only places I had problems was when we were on a four-day hike along Hadrian’s Wall where I found the signal coming and going.
All in all it was a great experience and I give it an A.
*Second stop: Germany*
Germany was a completely different thing.
Both Vodaphone and O2 shops do not have sims in stock. You need to pre-order the sims and have them mailed to a German address. On top of that, one of them (I can’t remember which) wanted 25 euro just for the sim. The reps in the store were always unhelpful, many did not even know that iPad sims were available form their respective companies and several mentioned that because “no one wanted an iPad in Germany” they didn’t see the point in carrying the sims. So no 3G in Germany for me.
On top of that, WiFi was not all that common. Even places that advertised free wifi often told us it was currently broken.
So, iPad travel experience in Germany: D-

I just returned from 1 of only 2 carriers(telcel main office only)where I live in Los Cabos, Mexico, I just paid $149 pesos/$11.60 US for a sim and I was told they needed me to bring my ipad in, after about 1 hour they finally gave me my sim, and then said at least 24 hours for activation. There is no easy way from what I have been told to add money/time, you can go to their main office and pay for exactly whatever plan you want, you must return to their office to renew using this method, the other way is to buy a prepaid card and supposedly enter the code into the ipad, but none of the cards denominations correlate with the plans that are offered. I have lived here 20 years so nothing surprises me anymore. It was basically a cluster---, due to the fact nobody seemed to have a clue about the ipad, I jokingly asked if I was their first ipad customer, they said I was their 2nd. So it seems to me, if you had planned to use this "magical ipad" for travels in different countries, you had better make sure you have wifi, or take your laptop instead. I am somewhat disappointed that apple wants to sell millions of these, yet does not make sure their carriers know what is going on. Either I misunderstood all the hype and ad's, or this thing probably is best used only where you know you can receive wifi. I bought 3 ipads, this last one a 3g, I can see I will have to bring my laptop on all travels if I want to be assured of having internet, it seems apple should concentrate a bit more on customer service instead of sales. I will update when and if I get a connection.
buenos suerte…

Does the iPad mini have a setting so it can be used with either 120 or 240 electrical current? If yes, how do you go about setting the desired input voltage? I will travel to Northern Europe and want to know if I will need a voltage converter.

The iPad charger is dual voltage. You need only a plug adapter to be able to plug your US charger into a European wall outlet. A basic one costs about $2.00. - $6.00. Like this...

A problem with my mifi 2200 need help please

Hey everyone. I came here to get help with my verizon mifi card that all the sudden after such a great run stops working!
I had bought two mifi 2200 cards at the same time about a year ago. All I did was turn them on and was getting Internet connection wirelessly to my ipad right away. My connection worked for ages and never had a problem until recently. One of the cards stopped working roughly about three months ago. I looked around online for things that perhaps was stopping the device from working. I figured that the device was ready for an update and that was prohibiting the device from working, but here is the weird part; the other card (the exact same one) was working when this first card I mentioned wasn't. The card working continued to work until just recently like a day or so ago. Odd right. Anyway, the first card I connected to the USB cord that was provided in the box into my laptop. I was immediatly prompted to download Verizon Manager. My first time ever getting to this step. I was connected to my Internet connection at home via LAN line because that was my only option to Internet. After the software was downloaded, I was prompted to update firmware in which I did, then I was told to update wifi area coverage information which is just that search for finding local wifi spots, the next one is the important one that never seemed to work. The message read somewhere along the lines of you need to update coverage area information as if in there was some new program via coverage to get the stuff to communicate with the device. I said yes and then a message popped up saying Activation and had this bar going side to side, but after a while was told the programming failed. The device has already been activated so I don't understand the reason for the word Activation. Regardless, I tried doing other things I've read on this forum like resetting the device, turning standby mode to never, and so forth, but none worked. The device powers on/everything is on, and I can connect to the device, but I have no Internet. Please, some one tell me what is going on.
Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.

Sounds like you botched a firmware update and bricked your MiFi.
Have you tried contacting VZW for a replacement device yet?

Service degradation with Mifi 2200/early termination fee

We use our Mifi to provide Internet access to my rural house that is about five miles from the nearest DSL connection. The Mifi replaced HughesNet in February 2011 -- and we've been very pleased with the service up until this month. We pretty consistently had about 2.85 - 3 Mbps download speeds. We have the 10GB plan.
On May 8 we noticed my previously decent connection is now worse than HughesNet. When we can connect and we can only connect one device at a time, it's very slow (0.06 Mbps download/0.09 Mbps upload according to Speedtest.net). We're well under our usage limit for the month.
We noticed some work going on at two local towers and waited it out.
Last Tuesday (May 22), since it appears the work on the towers is over and one of my neighbors said their Verizon cell phones were completely down for two days, I called Customer Service and worked with them and their script for two hours before the genuinely trying-to-be-helpful woman on the other end said she'd have to submit a ticket to technical support to have someone come out to my house. They would call me. I'm still waiting for that call.
Last night I took the mifi and my iPad about 25 miles down the road to see if maybe it was the mifi. On the side of the road, near a couple cell towers (don't know if they were Verizon), I was able to get 1.85 Mbps download speed. Not wonderful, but better than HughesNet on a good day.
Do I have any option to get any money back for service they are NOT providing?
Can I get any kind of break on the early termination fee if I have to cancel because Verizon is unable/unwilling to fix the problem with their tower? (I live in a sparsely populated area--so they don't have hundreds of customers screaming about it.)
What is the early termination fee for a Mifi 2200? (I've looked all over the website and am unable to find it).
Thanks for your advice.

Hello,
To answer your questions:
1. There are no options for a "refund" on your service.
2. Yes. Call them up and mention you wish to leave for service related reasons. VZW should be leniant and atleast offer you a discount if not cover the entire fee.
3. ETF $175.00 for these devices. The ETF is pro-rated for each month of service you used the device. I believe the ETF is reduced $10.00 per month.
Service related problems are hard to argue. Either the service is good enough in your area or it is not. Sometimes there is seasonal interferance that naturally goes away and comes back over time, its not always worth it to wait it out. Some users are successful with antennas and amplifiers to improve the signal strength. Conducting a site survey should give you some confidence in a decision to invest in that equiptment before you buy.

Hello. I upgraded my MIFI 2200 (had no contract on it) to a Jetpack (with a contract) when customer service told me this 4G device would use less data because it was faster. This was not correct. Anyway, I got the device, had problems, did tech support

I upgraded my MIFI 2200 (had no contract on it) to a Jetpack (with a contract) when customer service told me this 4G device would use less data because it was faster. This was not correct. Anyway, I got the device, had problems, did tech support, re-activated my MIFI. 1. Decided to return the device. Spent hours with Customer Service, then finally up to Management, they agreed to take it back and void the contact, I sent it back immediately – and instead of voiding the contact they transferred it to my MIFI! Please cancel the contract on the MIFI. 2. During the short time I had the Jetpack I continually received overage alerts, took it all the way up to 30 GB, each time I backdated the new data plan except twice when customer service did and failed to back date the increase, and once the computer locked customer service out and could not increase. The end result is I have a $495 bill, many of these alerts were false since I ended up with only 14 MG for the month, etc. I am asking that my bill be reduced significantly to reflect no overage and to compensate for these problems. Please open up a ticket for this.

I had Verizon JetPak and you will find it will eat data like crazy. I opted to sign on to ATT Uverse and configured my phones and other devices to the WiFi on the Uverse system. It took about 5 minutes to completed the configuration. I was using 10 to 12 GB monthly to support 5 devices. Even if you use Verizon DSL, you are still subjected to same GB allotment. In my area, Verizon DSL is not available. With Uverse, I have 250 GB monthly to use, and I have not even come close to using anything of that magnitude. I reduced my GB package with Verizon to 2 GB per month and since having ATT Uverse, I never use more than 1GB a month with Verizon.
I have no problem with Verizon cell phone service as we get a much stronger signal where we live than you can with ATT or any others. It is just my opinion, but if you are running multiple devices off Verizon Jetpak, you will eventually spend a fortune to keep pace. I pay $60 a month for 18 Mbps speed, although ATT have packages that cost much less. But, it saves me a bundle each month. The cost of Uverse alone is worth not having to run everything through a Jetpak.
If you have the option to use another DSL service provider in your area, I recommend dumping the Jetpak and sign on with another carrier.

Can I buy an iPad in Asia and register the Apple Care Protection Plan in Europe?

I want to buy the new retina iPad mini while I am in Hong Kong for my semester abroad but I want to have it protected with an Apple Care Protection Plan for when I'm back in Europe. I was told that the protection plan is region specific for iPads and that my iPad won't be covered in Europe if I buy Apple Care in HK. But, what if I buy the iPad in HK and buy Apple Care separately in Europe, when I'm back?

The AppleCare+ plan is valid only in the US where you purchased the iPad. So if you want the $49 replacement price, you will have to send the iPad to someone you know in the US who can take or send it to Apple for you. Othewise you will have to pay Apple's full replacement price, assuming Apple India will even replace the iPad for you; if it's a WiFi+Cellular model you will probably have to send the iPad to the US in any case.
Regards.
