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.

Is anybody using VPN (for work) on this? I have been told that some hotspots/mifi do not allow VPN, my ATT hotspot did, I am currently having trouble with VPN on ATT home wireless phone with internet. It seems to keep dropping which breaks my tunnel. I don't want to pay for something to find out it doesn't allow me full use. Thanks in advance

I do not see any VPN settings in any of the menus or in the owners manual.

HI everyone! Glad to see a few people got their units. Look forward to hearing about your experiences with it. Thanks to those who used my referral code last week!
