A demonstration of the Verizon MiFi – the portable wireless hotspot that uses the cellular network to create a WiFi bubble around the unit for up to 5 devices to share Internet access simultaneously. This handy little device is manufactured by Novatel and currently offered by Verizon and Sprint. MiFi is a great way to bring broadband with you on the move and share broadband with several devices. The device is either battery powered (about 4 hours of use), powered by a USB connection or the included AC charger. I have connected Mac and Windows laptops as well as iPhones and iPod Touches – everything worked great. Connection speeds vary based on the your coverage area and the demand for wireless data, but I typically get 1.1 Mbps down and about 500Kbps up. There are a couple catches that buyers should be aware of. The largest wireless data plan available is $59/mo but that only include 5GB of data transfer per month – steep overage charges apply beyond the 5GB limit. In addition, you need to sign a 2 year contract for the data plan in order to get the device at a discounted rate. Overall, I’m very impressed by the device. 4 of 5 stars.

    2 questions: If I get a verizon mifi, will it work for an iPhone on AT&T? and also, If i want to use the mifi in a random place, do i have to take it? with me to connect to it’s internet?

  • DracoAzule says:

    That plus if you’re with AT&T and you have an iPhone or Android but you’re stuck on the 200 MB or 2? GB plan, this is a near-perfect fix. You just can’t use it for MMS since MMS requires the use of the phones native network connection.

  • DracoAzule says:

    I have a Sprint branded? Mifi that I’m using through Millenicom with their BYOD 50 GB plan.

    I’m using it as my main internet connection. I live out in the country side. Beautiful scenery, nice fresh clean air, crappy internet choices. This is a great alternative to dialup or satellite.

    @bluedreads11 Thats an iPhone genius. See the grill on the top of the device, its the handset? for making calls. Also this is kind of ironic as hes using a AT&T phone but using a Verizon connection, just for the video im sure but funny none the less.
