  2. Nov 16, 2009 - Virgin Mobile is now offering pay-as-you-go mobile broadband access that's Mac-compatible.

VirginMobile recently had some mobile broadband deals and I jumped on it and puchased their USB mobile broadband modem MC760 by NovaWireless. It installed and worked fine with my MacBook Pro (Early 2008) but didn't install correctly with my Dell Mini 10v hackintosh.

Click to expand.it is confusing, especially if you're used to their phones. The good news, if you can call it that, is that you can log in, even after your GBs run out, so you can easily add more by charging to your credit card, or using a prepaid card (that wouldn't be activated until you typed in the numbers) - or you could put money into your account but not apply them to a 'plan' until you need it. The trick is to not activate too soon, because as soon as you charge or enter the info on the prepaid top up card, the calendar limits go into effect. They really should revise this. People would spend MORE money, not less.

They may not want to deal with the logistics of managing the carry over, but that's silly, since they are tracking usage anyway. Probably it's.(pure speculation) because they're using a variation of the sprint software and there are only limited ways to modify the accounting procedures. Virgin Mobile Mifi I have had mine for a week and used it a lot.

So far not one MB has been subtracted from my 300mbs. But, every couple of days it becomes 'not activated'. I have to call because it won't activate on line. It just says there is a problem with my wifi or account. So far Virgin Mobile reps say they do not know why but I am not alone. I would not mind using it free if I could activate on line and not call. The wait times have been very, very long.

One more time and I am returning it and going to Verizon mifi. Don't like that because it is a 2 yr commitment or no contract and $15 a day.

Click to expand.For me it was pretty good. I haven't needed the unlimited plan but a few weeks before they released that I had purchased a 300 MB pack for a short vacation. I only ended up using like 10 MB so I had this genius idea to use it to stream pandora in my car. It actually worked really well on a 2 hour trip.

I only had one mishap the entire way and it was just along 1 mile of highway. Then again pandora's streaming music is relatively low bandwidth.

I was expecting this to eat up all of my data and it only used like 70 MB. 2 hours of music in 70 MB and it sounded GOOD?

I live in Florida too so Sprint's coverage is a lot more over here than it is over on the west coast. It looks like a lot around the Portland area is Verizon and the virgin mobile mifi doesn't support roaming. I don't get it because the pandora app on my android phone SUCKS. I can't even walk down the street without it cutting out 50 million times. And my android phone uses sprints network as well. Click to expand.LOL. No it was fine.

The reason I was concerned in the first place is because the customer service agent I spoke too was uninformed and told me that I would need to find a wifi hotspot if I ran out of data and needed to add more. I don't want to buy data unless I know I am going to need it and unless I know I will be in a coverage area.It isn't a problem though. You can log into the router and it allows you to access your account and add data when you have no MBs. And obviously if you can't access your account you don't have 3g where you are so no point in spending the money.
