Public service announcement

Risking being banned for discussing he who shall not be named, I need to tell those that have 3G hotspots that they need to call the number on the paper and see what the cut off date is.

I have received reports of more than a handful of hotspots going down including two of my own. One of mine the call center didn't recognize at all. The one I leave at the MIL's in case she wants to use it but never does has been suspended since June after I paid for May and sent the 6 month payment to he who shall not be named. Luckily I was able to make a payment and get it going again.

So please check your hotspots cut off date. In some cases it's been up to 10 days before the letter said.

  • Thanks Jim,
    I purchased a Novatel 6620 from "he who shall not be named" on June 24 with service end date of 11-15-2016. On August 13 I could not access the internet. The MiFi had a good 3G signal and I could connect via WiFi to the device but no internet. I sent an email off to "he who shall not be named" and was told to send it in. I was in Oregon at the time and waited until I got home to send it in on August 20. The MiFi was delivered the morning of Aug. 22 and am waiting for a response.

    I hope this is not an indication of the end of this service. Here's an interesting article: Verizon Update: Three Way Assault Underway on Unlimited Data Plans.

    I don't know if this applies to our present service.
  • So are you saying that you paid him for a 6 month extension and he didn't process it?
