Your thoughts on Millenicom...
I've been investigating data plans. While Verizon is on the short list, Millenicom is now showing up as a possibility. From what I know, cost is about the same, there are no contracts and coverage i...

I have the Millenicom 20 gig plan (Verizon) and my little buddy (MiFi). $69.99 no add-ons.
I have an Iphone 5 and use the Straight Talk unlimited everything plan (talk, text, Data) for $45/month. Note that it is not really unlimited data, even though they say it is. This plan also runs on the Verizon system FOR THIS PHONE (Network assignment varies depending on which phone you have). I did have to buy the phone outright. Straight Talk has lots of phone choices but you should always do your homework to find out which network they run on as Straight Talk uses several networks, even for the same plan.
I also just got a Wilson Sleek for the truck and the home/office kit for the 5th wheel. Have not really tried it out much but initially it looks like I gain at least 1 bar, sometimes 2.
I set the MiFi in the Sleek and let it be my router. Computer and printer use it and I've also set the phone to look for it and use it instead of the Straight Talk plan if I'm using the router. The object is not to rile up the Straight Talk folks for using too much data on my phone. I don't bother to stick the MiFi in my pocket if I leave the home base. The phone just switches to it's original Straight Talk (Verizon) network.
Everything runs on the Verizon network.
Hope this gives you some ideas.
