Thought I'd start a new thread.
Someone has a new SO SIM with $ 40,00 airtime for sale. I am waiting to have a Novatel 5792 MiFi wireless router delivered.
It works on cellular and what I am wondering if the $ 40,00 airtime can be used on it or do I have to get a data plan?
What I am thinking is that the 5792 is just a go betweeen and wonder if that would work. These MiFi wirelss routers are advertised that they can be used with up to 5 wirelss devices. So I'm thinking that could be a cellphone, computer, iPad etc.
Just curious, especially since the cellular wireless routers are a fairly new phenomenom.

Well I am going to answer my own question. Just found out that when you sign up for the DATA plan the cost is deducted from your current balance,
So I'll buy this SIM and $ 40.00 airtime package.

I think you should reconsider this plan. Speakout data is, in fact, very expensive. It is only appropriate for very light users. 100 mb a month is puny and you can burn through it in the blink of an eye. To think that you want to link up to 5 devices to the mifi is crazy. What you need is something like a tablet plan from one of the big guys, as you will need much more data that Speakout can provide.

Actually I made 500MB last for 30 days in Mexico by not downloading everything coming my way.
I really only want to be able to access certain functions when I can not connect to WiFi this fall on a trip from Toronto to British Columbia. I still have my SO cell phone within Canada for calling.
From BC I'm driving to Mexico and for the USA I have already bought a "ROAM Mobility" SIM card. Three days 300 MB for US$ 7.95 or data/text $ 1.95 per day. Then in Mexico I buy a new TELCEL SIM card on a monthly data plan.
