Prepaid Broadband2Go Coming from Virgin Mobile USA

Virgin Mobile USA will launch Broadband2Go, a 3G nationwide prepaid wireless Internet service.

Operating on the Sprint Nationwide Network, Broadband2Go allows access to EVDO Rev. A coverage.  It will be available exclusively at Best Buy Mobile starting in late June for $149.99, and is the first prepaid broadband Internet access Best Buy Mobile is offering.

Using Novatel Wireless's Ovation MC760 USB device, Broadband2Go is the world's smallest EVDO Rev. A USB modem.  A new Broadband2Go-branded Top-Up card is available for $20, which customers may use to purchase 250MB good for 30 days, translating roughly into 12 hours of web surfing. Here are the pricing with the megabytes: --$10 for 100 MB of data usage --$20 for 250 MB --$40 for 600 MB --$60 for 1 GB.

Virgin Mobile USA's Broadband2Go requires no activation fee and there are no roaming charges. Customers have a real-time usage meter to monitor and check "Remaining Megabytes of Use" at any time - from the Broadband2Go provides customers with approximate estimates for how many hours of web-browsing or video-viewing and number of emails each plan will generally handle.
