It doesn’t work.
Yes, the new Virgin Mobile Broadband in the United States using the Novatel MC760 USB EVDO dongle..doesn’t work.
Their web site says you have to activate on a PC but then you can use it on a Mac. This is false. Once installed on your Mac, the drivers DO NOT recognize the MC760 and therefore it is unusable.
What a massive total failure by Virgin Mobile.

I’ve seen those, they’re slick. I’ve always had a Sprint EVDO card but realistically there are months that go by that I don’t use it. The Virgin offering was pretty exciting because it’s there when I need it, but not a huge waste of money every month.
