  • StraightTalk has it's own "hotspot" device that u can purchase & add data time to. Just Google straight Talk hot spot for info. It's kinda hard to find it from their website so I find it easier to Google it.

    VERIZON sells a MIFI unit for a 5GB DATAPLAN around $60 a month. This will create its own HOTSPOT and allow up to 5 WIFI devices to get on the Internet going through the VERIZON NETWORK. Runs in addition to the cell phone service and does not tie up your VERIZON CELLPHONE service if you are using that.. A even better plan with VERIZON is the JETPACK MIFI unit which is a LARGER GB DATAPLAN. Of course the price goes up to use use it.

    We have been using a 3GB grandfathered VERIZON MIFI PLAN since the Motorola DROIDs came out which makes getting on the INTERNET all legal for us using password protection etc.

    Works out alot better for us verses trying to use Camp Ground and McDONALDS WIFI connections around the country side.

  • From Straight Talk's "Terms & Conditions"

    "6 e. STRAIGHT TALK UNLIMITED PLANS CANNOT BE USED FOR: any applications that tether your device to a laptop or personal computer other than for the use of Wireless Sync."

    The use of FoxFi or similar "hotspot" apps is considered "tethering", and they will cancel your service if they catch you doing it.
