A Verizon MiFi bundled with an Apple iPad could save you big money on data plans, but if you already own an iPad or a MiFi, you out of luck.
The MiFi device, which offers 3G data access to up to five WiFi devices, can be purchased with a 5GB traffic plan for $60 per month. If you buy an iPad and MiFi bundle from Verizon, though, you will pay $10 less for the same service, which is priced at $50 per month. Also, it doesn't require a two-year commitment (same with AT&T's iPad 3G plans); just a rolling monthly service, with no termination fees.
It sounds great, right? Heavy data users will pay less per month if they use a MiFi with their iPad. Well, not so fast. According to Verizon's set of frequently asked questions (FAQ) on the deal, if you already have an iPad or a MiFi, you're not eligible for the reduced data traffic rate. Of course, you can still use an iPad with the MiFi (like you could by now), but data charges won't be less than before.
Virgin mobile on the other hand offers a 10 day 100MB 3G for $10.00 or a Unlimited MiFi 2200 for $40.00 which I think is the better choice.
