All the plans there are more costly than the Virgin Mobile 2200 data per month, If I'm not mistaken.
Unless you mean I can choose the Basic Plan, $29.99 per month (just the minutes, no data plan included) and Rooting will unlock the free data plan?
Nah. U need a data plan in order to use wireless tethering. I say this option if you want to use use your cell phone as a hotspot as well.. instead of having a cellphone AND a seperate item for a hotspot.
I got the mifi and the new iPod touch. So far the 3G mifi is pretty good, I'm not having any dropped calls on my skype+iPod touch.
Cons: virgin mobile mifi battery lasts for 4-5 hours on constant tethering
I have to carry 2 device.
Pro: $47 a month gives me unlimited data, text and minutes.
I have unlimited data for my other wireless devices as well.
