Pros and Cons of Millenicom

I have read a number of people suggestions that Millenicom is a good substitute for Verizon. I would like to hear if there are any cons to the service.

I am looking to possibly replace my grandfathered unlimited data plan with Verizon and upgrade my device. This seems to be the cheapest way to do that. We use between 10 - 15 GB each month so the new Verizon plan would be expensive.

Millenicom has initially high start-up costs!

We are fulltimers for we use the Mifi device to power our 2 laptops, 1 smartphone and a Kindle device. We regularly use the 10-15 GB each month (I have been tracking it). My Mifi device is a Mifi2200 and is the 3G version. I would like to upgrade that device but would lose my unlimited data if I stay with Verizon for it. That is why I am looking at Millenicom.

the only reason to replace your Verizon plan is if you're replacing the device on that plan. are you using all of that 10-15gb on the cellular network? any of it on wifi?

The only con I have found is Millenicom does not offer a true pay as you go type plan. By that I mean, yes you can cancel your plan at any time but when you want to restart they charge you a $19.95 connection charge in addition to your regular monthly service fee for the first month. It would be great if they operated like DISH Pay-As-You-Go and all you had to do was pay the monthly service fee to reconnect. Other than that the service works great.
