Best MiFi Plans!Are you excited about Mi-Fi and researching what are the best MiFi plans with no contract (i.e. prepaid) out there? Well, there's good news and bad news. The bad news is that there's currently only a limited number of available prepaid MiFi options. The good news is that there ARE available options! ;-) If you haven't already done so, check out the MiFi discussion page to learn more about this exciting mobile hotspot technology!  In fact, until 2010, there weren't any prepaid Mi-Fi offers that could be classified as traditional prepaid offerings. You had to basically buy a Sprint or Verizon MiFi hotspot device at regular price with a month-to-month plan. In other words, no prepaid broadband providers offered MiFi devices, leaving you still receiving a bill from Verizon or Sprint! Though with the month-to-month benefit, much like other Prepaid Broadband offerings, you'll pay more for the hardware/modem than you would have to if you signed a one or two year contract. Fortunately, early 2010 was a sort of prepaid broadband revolution, if you will, that resulted in the major providers (ex. AT&T and Verizon) to begin offering prepaid wireless broadband plans. They entered the no contract market due to the incredible demand as customers shift from postpaid contracts to prepaid, no contract broadband Internet plans. Fortunately Verizon had a postpaid MiFi modem that they were able to offer on a no contract basis. So although the options were limited in terms of evaluating the best MiFi plans, I'm confident that our options will continue to increase! In fact, in June 2010 Virgin Mobile launched its MiFi hotspot offering, which was great news!  The table below gives you some of the critical details of the Verizon and Virgin Mobile MiFi offerings. It's actually quite interesting to review the MiFi plan offers; it's almost as though despite the fact that Verizon has a prepaid MiFi offering, Virgin Mobile's pricing blows them out of contention! Regardless, it's great to have choice, and no doubt that we'll start to see additional entrants to the MiFi hotspot market as hardware prices continue to get cheaper and cheaper. I constantly monitor the news, so rest assured that when other prepaid MiFi plans become available, I will update this table within a matter of days so you can always compare the best MiFi plans available. So for now, in terms of best MiFi plans, you've got two options!
