Our Cary, Illinois company has been around since 1988, and began focusing its efforts on EVDO in 2004 after we realized that there were very few sites providing helpful and honest information about EVDO products and services. Today we operate five websites, each focusing on a different aspect of the industry but all with the mission of providing helpful information to the internet audience who is searching for it.
Our company is both a Sprint Master Agent and an authorized Verizon reseller. We are very well-versed in both carriers' entire EVDO Data Device product lines, and in many cases we not only have products available for sale first, but we also have online product reviews long before anyone else does. We also sell accessories to help people get the most out of their 3G service (including EVDO and HSDPA), such as antennas, routers, and amplifiers.
To help our customers learn about EVDO, we've talked on the phone for hours on end, answered thousands and thousands of emails, and chatted on every imaginable instant-messaging network. We've even answered emails from our cell phones while we were at soccer games, dinner engagements, family gatherings and countless other situations where most retailers would never normally be 'in touch' (much to the chagrin of our beloved spouses and children!). As a result of our dedication (borderline obsession!), our super-secure ecommerce site, 3Gstore.com (formerly Booster-Antenna.com), has sold thousands of EVDO devices from both carriers and countless antennas and routers.
3Gstore is unique in many ways when compared to other companies selling these types of products. Where else will you find:
- Employees who are all actual users of EVDO data devices and options/accessories
- Authorized resellers of all EVDO data devices from both major carriers
- Industry experts for EVDO accessories like routers/antennas/amps
- Experienced pre-sales engineering and consultation staff
- An online store with (rare) EV SSL certificate
- Phone sales/support from 9am to 7pm central time, Monday to Friday
- PROMPT response to email inquiries
- Special relationships with vendors, including Cradlepoint
- Sprint and Verizon phone/PDA sales and support
- Products and information for AT&T 3G customers
- Experts with Mac compatibility (we were the FIRST to get EVDO working with Macs years ago - we've never paid attention to "not Mac compatible" warnings!)
- FREE post-sales customer support for our entire line of products
- "Sister sites" of respected EVDO news/portal and user forums
- Product reviews made available as soon as (if not before) a device is available to the public
- Access to exclusive tip sheets and instructions on popular topics such as using EVDO for gaming for FREE to our customers
And just how secure is our site? VERY secure. Most online stores are using 'industry-standard' SSL certificates, but with today's online fraud, "standard" SSL should not be considered secure enough for your purchases! 3Gstore.com is the first and quite possibly the only EVDO specialty retailer that has deployed an "Extended Validation" SSL Certificate. Also known as "EV SSL", these certificates require a much more rigorous background check into the company and its ownership than the standard SSL Certificates most online retailers use. Many companies will apply for EV SSL, but only a few, like 3Gstore.com, will qualify. If you use Internet Explorer 7 on Windows XP or Windows Vista, its easy to see this new level of security for yourself - just look for the "Green Bar" with the padlock at the top of the browser window to see which sites are properly secured and deserving of your business.
While we do sell a lot of EVDO devices by themselves, our specialty is in finding true EVDO solutions for our customers. This means finding out what the customer's goals are and recommending the appropriate combination of service, antennas, amplifiers, and/or EVDO routers to fit their needs. We've been asked to configure EVDO solutions for all kinds of people and all kinds of scenarios, including:
- Business executives who live 'On-The-Go'
- Special Event/Expo/Convention/Show Hotspots
- Campsite, cabin, lake home internet access
- Full-Time RV’ers
- Celebrity tour buses and other specialty vehicles
- Limousine and executive taxi fleets
- In-vehicle realtime GPS tracking
- Emergency Response Teams
- Marine/Offshore users
- Construction site office
- Security and/or progress-watching webcams
- Overcoming client sites with restrictive networks
- Remote data collection/distribution
- Post-op surgical monitoring
- Short-term installations at hospitals/clinics
Its hard to imagine someone calling us and asking for a solution we haven't already sold and supported many times over... But we look forward to the challenge!
Our product knowledge comes not just from our extensive personal experience, but because we've sold and supported so much of the product. Because of our sales volume, many of our vendors have taken an interest in us and provide an extra level of support that allows us to provide the best possible service to our customers. One such special relationship we've cultivated is with Cradlepoint, the manufacturer of some of the best 3G routers on the market. We are Cradlepoint's #1 dealer, selling over 12,000 routers (so far!) and work closely with their engineers as they perfect their products and develop future items. 3Gstore is proud to be a Cradlepoint Platinum Partner!
The bottom line is that we love what we do and take pride in ensuring that our customers have the best possible experience before, during, and after each and every sale. Want an example? Check out this forum thread. Now, that's service! For more about what our customers say about 3GStore, check out these customer testimonials. We hope you'll be our next 3Gstore customer!
