They are not going to offer anything in Sprint. Sprint cancelled their contract effective 10/30/2013. The only thing that is currently being offered is the Verizon 20GB HotSpot plan.

Thank you everyone for the helpful information.

It looks as if Millenicom is also going to be supporting AT&T now as well.

Would that take the place of Sprint? Would it be BYOD?

Use this program to look at your usage http://www.softperfect.com/products/networx/

The great thing about Millenicom is that you can put it on hold for no cost except $20 when you restart.
My old Samsung router I got from them 3 or 4 years ago is still working and connecting to 4g or 3g.

Thank you everyone for the helpful information.

I went directly through them for device and service. The one surprise to me was that I cannot go on the Verizon website to monitor my usage. Some have figured out how to do it by putting the SIM in a device that can get texts so they can get it enabled, then switching back. Millenicom does not condone this - I think it violates their agreement with Verizon.

So, you have to either email them or open a trouble ticket asking for your usage.

You can also monitor your usage at the Millenicom website by signing into the "members" section and clicking on your product listing. The usage as of the last update will be the last item on the list. It's only updated on Monday nights though.

Oh, I almost didn't find it. Very last thing on the page - had to scroll down. Weird that it is down below all the shipping info where they send the MiFi 18 months ago! Thanks for the tip!

the only Millenicom plan that uses the Verizon network, is currently called their Hotspot Plan. you get a Novatel 4620 mifi device and 20 gig per month limit for $69.99 a month, plus initial device/setup/shipping fees.
Since Millenicom is a "reseller" they have no provisions for allowing or billing for overages. the 20 gig per month is a fixed limit. You will get a warning the first time you go over, and your service will be cancelled if you continue to go over.
If you know that 20 gig a month will not satisfy your needs, then Millenicom expects you to order a 2nd account/device at the same $69.99 a month, plus initial device/setup/shipping fees.

They say they warn you as you get close, but apparently this put me over so quickly there was no time to warn me. So they shut down my access - for a month I think. They threaten if it continues they will cancel the service.

Of course I have since made sure my computer will not download/update things automatically.
