I love the service but hate that last week before the useage is reset. I haven&#39;t gone over - yet - but have come pretty close to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798405294968545373.post-69928160865512240102011-05-15T09:56:29.164-07:002011-05-15T09:56:29.164-07:00GO TO MILLENICOM.COM and get Advanced Plan.<br />3G, but uses Verizon footprint for $59.99/month for 20G&#39;s per month. NO CONTRACT! NO TAXES!<br />We hooked it up to a router and my husband and I both use it. With Verizon, we were going over the limit each month, but now don&#39;t come near. Works great! Love it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798405294968545373.post-4120684432118814332011-05-14T15:05:16.462-07:002011-05-14T15:05:16.462-07:00For intermittant RV&#39;ers, with the Verizon &quot;Hot Spot&quot;, you<br />can &quot;Suspend&quot; your service for up to 90 days when you are not &quot;On The Road&quot;. On day 91 the service is reinstated but you can do another 90 day suspension.<br /><br />JW, Richmond Hill NYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798405294968545373.post-29822814087607247682011-05-14T14:51:00.236-07:002011-05-14T14:51:00.236-07:00Verizon also offers a $35 3gb plan and if you go over it&#39;s $10 more for each gigabyte of portion of a gigabyte. So even if you use close to 5gb you still only pay $55 which is cheaper than the original $60 5gb plan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798405294968545373.post-23066195831305367452011-05-14T12:26:50.431-07:002011-05-14T12:26:50.431-07:00Skype can consume a ton a traffic - so turn off the option to become a Super-node: Tools - options - advanced - connections: uncheck &quot;use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections&quot;<br /><br />just search google for skype super-node or see this link: http://www.ghacks.net/2008/06/26/find-out-if-your-computer-acts-as-a-skype-super-node/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798405294968545373.post-88347669244400141382011-05-14T10:38:13.013-07:002011-05-14T10:38:13.013-07:00The weather can affect your usage too.<br />Not the weather <i>directly </i>but what you do during each day. <br />Nice days mean I&#39;m outside doing REAL stuff and riding my motorcycle.<br /><br />Rainy, dark, dreary days I&#39;m inside...AND I get no TV where I am right now....a small RV park outside Paradise, CA near Butte College. Heading for Piru, CA and points south on June 5th so I&#39;ll get TV and be doing more outside stuff.<br /><br />Just me and the dog live full time in a Camper Van for the last two years. At age 65 what a GREAT decision I made!!!<br /><br />I too have the 5 GIGS/month at $60 and can upgrade to 10 GIGS for only $20/moth more. I am well impressed with the coverage. I also have a small antenna that plugs into the side of the device and attaches magnetically outside. In two years I have never been without access to the Net....hit 12States last year.<br /><br />Oh, I tow a trailer with my 750 Kawasaki in it so I have cheap transportation wherever I stop/visit.<br /><br />Friends named Chuck and Donna, full timers in a Class A helped me get started in this wonderful lifestyle. Thanks Chuck and Donna.<br /><br />Drive safe all!Tim Wittingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798405294968545373.post-72303720806188775452011-05-14T09:22:00.368-07:002011-05-14T09:22:00.368-07:00Sprint has been offering unlimited data usage on it&#39;s Evo 4g phones.

When we were just using our air card for vacations no big deal. Because we had an in house modem with Quest. One we gave that up and only used our card we always went over. I&#39;m retired and am on most nights for 2 to 3 hours and more. And my wife sure did her fair share. We might do as much as 6 to 8 Gigabytes. Last week we finaly bumped it to 10 and feel very confident we won&#39;t go over. If we do then I&#39;ll have to tie one hand behind my back or something. <br />PS I am a youtube fanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798405294968545373.post-86149349560286334642011-05-14T06:26:46.228-07:002011-05-14T06:26:46.228-07:00Very easy solution. Drop Verizon direct service. Get Millenicom that uses the very same verizon towers, with identical service coast to coast. Same price but no taxes, 20 gig limit instead of 4 gig limit.<br /><br />Sound too good to be true? User community reviews here: <br />http://www.dslreports.com/forum/millenicom <br /><br />It&#39;s the real deal, I switched a year ago and used it coast to coast. It IS Verizon, rebadged. Millenicom also has a Sprint plan. They will not say the words Verizon and Sprint due to a resellers aggreemment with verizon and Sprint, so research ahead of time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798405294968545373.post-78995043628716685172011-05-14T04:46:56.951-07:002011-05-14T04:46:56.951-07:00I have the verizon card with unlimited usage.$60.00 per month.Old card grandfathered in .Don&#39;t worry about usageAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
