The last feather in my multi carrier cap was Verizon, the carrier with the best coverage and highest rates. I was drooling over unlimited grandfather unlimited Verizon plans on ebay when I happened along several sellers on flashed hotspots that cost $5 a month for unlimited Verizon but 3G only. For me 3G is fine as it is what Verizon has in the mountains where were camp.
The unit I picked up was a Verizon MiFi 4510 for $84.99 and then also a MiFi 4620 for my mother in law.. They both work well and pick up signal where my Sprint, T-mobile and Cricket devices will not. Verison 3G is faster than Sprint and TMO 3G and in speed test show between 1 and 2 Mbps, easily enough for low res streaming and most other applications.
with each hotspot I received two pages with the info and how to pay for it.
You can find the flashed hotspots by simply searching Verizon unlimited 3G on ebay. The seller I used seems to be having some issues so I have no one seller to suggest.
I did have to re up the sevice this month and it was pretty simple. I had the option of using a $5 prepaid card or paying the $5 on a credit card that I did for convenience. $10 won't get you two months, it's one month at a time.
