I bought a mifi from **deleted** and was supposed to have 6 months included. I know several of us did as it was a popular subject several months ago. It worked great for 4 months but now won't connect. It states 3g ready but won't do anything more. I haven't pushed the factory reset to wipe out the flash that was put on it and have pulled the battery several times with no better results. I called the number on the instructions to refill it but it is a verizon number and verizon says the account doesn't exist. The sim card is from lyca mobile so verizon can't do anything to help without starting a new account with them but it won't be the unlimited 3g as they don't offer it now.I've emailed,phoned,and messaged Travis at **deleted** multiple times over the last 3 weeks with no response.Anyone know or have any ideas as to how to make this thing work again, or how to get in touch with **deleted** to figure out how to refill this?I feel like I got taken by a fly by night company who is way more interested in selling new equipment than dealing with anyone having problems. Thanks for any ideas.

Unfortunately the seller didn't keep the accounts up to date and many have closed due to none payment including one of my own. I did try to post a warning but I don't think it was seen by many.

I've been dealing with Travis for weeks. My service ran out after 6 weeks. I sent my Jetpack to him for reprogramming Sep 1 and when he returned it I still had no internet access. I sent it back again on Sep 30 and twice he has said it would ship soon and on Oct 26 stated it was shipped. I'm still waiting. He has not replied to my text messages since Oct 26. On Sep 30 I purchased another Jetpack from DR Wireless and it arrived in 3 days. So far it's working fine.I would suggest not dealing with Travis and check out DR Wireless. They offer a service to flash your current device via internet for $40. They have both a web site and an eBay store:http://drwireless.us/index.php?route=common/homehttp://stores.ebay.com/androidflashing?_trksid=p2047675.l2563I have no experience with their after-purchase support, but I doubt that it can be any worse then **deleted**.

Verizon is according to what I have been told is now 100% 4G. So in reality what you now have is a boat anchor.

The whole situation with him is unfortunate. There are some other suppliers of service as has been pointed out. In addition, UnlimitedVille, 4G Antenna Shop, Wifinder Planet, and The Calyx Institute are all options. I put the latest details I have been able to find at http://rvgunner.com/rvintnet.htm I'll have another update this weekend.

there are millions of 3g phones and devices out there that are still workingthis is A vendor problem not a verizon 4g only problemmine quite working about month before expirationit is now expiredthanks for the DR linkto the OPFactory reset, was the one thing, you did NOT want to doany chance of the device working without reprogramming was ruined when you did the factory resetit was specifically stated in the instructions, NOT to do that

I switched my wifes phone to the new unlimited plan. My Jetpack died. When I turn it on all I get is Mifi on the screen. I may have my other Jetpack flashed when we return from Mexico next month.

I guess now with verizon going to unlimited, we will probably switch to that plan and ditch the mifi

1492: You are correct. Seller got back to me right away with the reason. I thought I did it correctly, but evidently not.

Seller said he asked me several times for number, but I never got any message/email.

I was able to add to my account thru the 888 number, but will try the seller again later.

Unit is still working.

The supplier will cancel your order if you do not supply the hotspot phone number in the Ebay Message field upon checkout? Unfortunately, Ebay makes this unnecessarily confusing. Once you supply the phone number, you have to click the Submit button "before" buying the card. Otherwise, it won't attach the phone number to apply the card. And the Seller explicitly states he will cancel the order if no phone number is included?

I've never had a transaction cancelled, and the Seller has always applied the $5. card promptly every month. Still working 3G unlimited, with no issues.

Yes. Mine was to be renewed on 2/28 and it stopped working 1/23. I went on ebay and found someone to reflash it online for $30 and I am up and going again. That included 2 months service.

My device from the unnamed is a Pantech MHS 291LVW and was up to date and had an expiration date which I kept up with. It was supposed to expire on Feb 19th as I last paid on the 19th of January. However it seems like it just stopped working today. It doesn't even look like it has a phone number npw from the menu.

Anyone else have similar? I sure loved this thing while it worked.

After a few days of not getting the payment option, it reappeared. I paid $5 on 28 Jan and my exp date changed from 29 Jan to 6 Apr. I had made additional $5 payments previously because my exp date didn't change.

I am still befuddled by their system, but unit is still working.

I just renewed mine as well, it said the minimum payment was 15 but press a button for a different payment. I put 5 on it and it extended it out another month.

I just successfully renewed my device from He_Who_Shall_Not_Be_Named for yet another month. I called the 888 number, entered my device phone number and listened to all the verbiage about after 12/29 you can not use Verizon Services and should go to the VZ website or use #PMT from your device. It then asked if I wanted to make a payment and if so, press 1. I did, gave them the PIN of a $5 card from callingmart.com and Shazam, another 30 days was granted.

I sure hope this process continues to work for a long while.
