Best MiFi Plans!

Are you excited about mobile hotspots, and discovering the best MiFi plans without a contract (i.e. prepaid hotspot plans)?  Fortunately, there's nothing but good news for you, as there are a TON of great options now available.  When I first started this page (many years ago!), there were only a couple of offers on the market.  Now there are so many that I had to completely reorganized the information to make it easier to view everything!

In fact, initially there weren't any prepaid Mi-Fi plans that could be classified as traditional prepaid offerings.  You had to basically buy a Sprint or Verizon MiFi hotspot modem at full 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 to get the month-to-month benefit,you had to pay a lot more for your modem than you would have had to had 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 truly prepaid wireless broadband plans.  They entered the no contract market due to the incredible demand, as customers continued to 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 was confident that the options would continue to increase, and they did!  In fact, there are new plans, as well as completely new providers entering the market all the time.

The table below gives you the details of the current MiFi hotspot offerings across the U.S.  If you haven't already done so, feel free check out the MiFi Background page to learn more about how this exciting mobile hotspot technology works, and its numerous benefits.  You can then come back to find the best MiFi plans to meet you personal needs.

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 (usually hours!), so you can always compare the best MiFi plans available in the market.  If you want to keep in touch so you know when this page has been updated, you can subscribe to the RSS feed, or you can sign up for the Free Prepaid Wireless Tracker, which includes what's new on this site, as well as wireless news; it's sent out monthly.
