Virgin Mobile has just launched a new prepaid broadband mobile option for those who want to travel with data access for laptops and other mobile devices without being committed to an expensive two-year contract.
Their new toy is a prepaid MiFi device that allows you to create your own WiFi hotspot anywhere cellular data is available that you can share with up to five mobile devices such as iPads, laptops, Sony PSPs, and the like. The MiFi device itself costs $149, and the rate-plan options range from $10/month for 100MB up to $60/month for 5GB.
Virgin Mobile uses Sprint’s network to provide their service, so wherever Spint is available you should have access to a data connection. For more information, see Virgin Mobile’s website or visit your local Sprint store.
