Millenicom replacement

[WesL]

Hi Guys,

A few years ago I found some info on Millenicom on this forum and another forum. Millenicom offered a pretty good data plan with Verizon at a great deal. Over time they went up in price and finally Verizon cut them off and offered deals to their customers at a hefty price. This was good for me as a storm chaser but was still expensive.

Well last year Huntsville City Schools in Huntsville, AL started a big digital transition. They have got rid of textbooks and replaced them with laptops. All kids have a laptop now and they encountered another problem. Kids with no internet at home. So they partnered with Verizon and started a great deal where parents get a Verizon MiFi router at a good price.

Well earlier in August they opened their program to the general public. There is no geographic restriction for use or purchase. The MiFi router is included and the best news is it is UNLIMITED 4g LTE data over Verizon for only $47.75 a month.

I've used it all over the US including Chicago and Nashville within the last few weeks and I have had no issues with it at home.

If you are interested head to http://hsvwifi.com

Thanks again for all the great info in the past - hope you guys enjoy this service.

WoW. ~3 weeks and it's dead? Thats gotta be some kind of record, and not in a good way. Here's hoping that the people who have it will be allowed to keep it!

I guess data tracking, isn't gonna make Verizon that big profit, too support the cost of the data use,
That was the topic of discussion in several posts and external links

From their website:

The wireless provider previously servicing the OmniLynx Program has recently expressed an inability or unwillingness to continue supporting the program.
As a result, and regrettably, we will be unable to accommodate orders at this time.
We are exploring alternatives for the continuation of the OmniLynx Program.
At this time existing customers will not be affected by this change in supply

Thank you for your patience, support, and understanding in this matter.


I new it was too good to last, Verizon shut them down, at least for now those that have them can still use them.

Well, they can't all be winners now can they!



I will have to look at the Verizon map showing service in Gallup, NM

That still beats the heck out of 1X, Bill! :B

For TOYHAULER; I ordered on 9/11. Order # 3151
Payment taken from bank 9/14.
I received same notice as you did 9/17 7:13am. At 7:30am I received
this message

HSVWiFi would like to recall the message, "OmniLynx Wireless - Order Update".=


I assume this meant that they had a new shipment and are trying to
get them sent.

In case anyone is still concerned it might not work in all of the Verizon service areas, we just left Flagstaff and it's pretty good there.

[SweetBearCub]

No one here would know the answer to that question. We're only users, none of us here work for them (that I know of).

[Happytraveler]

Do you think hsvwifi.com will ever except orders again. I keep checking everyday and it's still closed.

While I was fretting over my delivery , I called and only got a msg that the voice mail box was full (voice mail...why can't it be called what it is...electronic answering/Angering machine service)

I ordered on the third, arrived Monday the 14th, it took 11 days, yours should be arriving soon, maybe Monday? From the tracking history of my order, it appears most of the delay problem is created by Fedex

I've read that some can somehow use FedEx's online service to see if the package is on the way, before/without knowing the tracking number. How does that work?
