Internet access on the road and at home
I currently have Verizon with one smart phone, one stupid phone and a Mifi hotspot. The last two months I have exceeded my 10gig data allowance and had to purchase 4 gig extra. Not sure whats going on...

I do this:
1. My phone - an Iphone 5 and I use the Walmart 'Straight Talk' for $45/month. Unlimited talk and text. The first 3 gigs of data are at 3G and then unlimited 2G data. Runs on the Verizon system.
* You might look at the Straight Talk site about using your current phone, etc.
2. Millenicom.com MiFi hotspot for Internet and all other WiFi needs. 20 gigs for $90/month. The MiFi supports up to 10 devices. Runs on the Verizon system.
I set my phone to search for my MiFi signal if present and use the Millenicom data plan faster speeds. Since the MiFi is almost always near me, I am getting the faster data speeds almost all the time.
I wanted Verizon coverage too and that's exactly why I picked these 2 sources for my 'electronic' needs.
Been doing this for a year now.
