    We had our 4620 Mi-Fi from Verizon for the last year and wouldn't be without it again, we don't stream movies so we have never gone over the 5GB a month that comes with our plan. If you have a problem with it you can always find a Verizon Store about anywhere in the country.

  • Wow great responses, I can see no worries about getting this system. Where do you get the millencom at Verizon?

    They work as advertised. Be careful for how much data you subscribe to. Anything in excess becomes expensive.
    You might also consider a smartphone doubling as a Hot Spot. Works well but you still have the data limits but save money on having a cellphone and a MiFi gadget too.


    Rather than speculate on what is expensive, you can simply check with Verizon and find out what the overages are.

    We live in a very rural area. I have a MIFI and it is my ONLY source of internet access. At home or on the road. We are very happy with it.
  • Who is getting a Verizon discount for DATA. I only receive the discount for voice ?

    Being a Vet I get the "government" discount for both. 15%

    I also get a 15% discount for being vet but it'a for voice only not the Mi-Fi.

    The only place we haven't been able to use it was Mexico and they just let use shut it off for the month we where down there, when we got back it just took a automated phone call and it was back on.

    Here is the link to Millenicom, which is a separate company from Verizon.
