Virgin Mobile's MiFi, like the models available for Sprint and Verizon Wireless, is a slim little router that turns 3G signal into a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to five devices. Since this is Virgin Mobile, this MiFi will be entirely prepaid - $149 for the device, and then anywhere from $10 for 100 MB to $60 for 5 GB. When you need more data, you can re-up. (Virgin has a full chart of their data rates on their Web site.) Activation is simple and there are no activation fees; you can top up your account with credit or debit cards, or Virgin Mobile top-up cards bought at local retailers. Virgin is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sprint and uses Sprint's 3G EVDO Rev A network, so I'd expect download speeds around 1 Mbps.
The MiFi will be available at Best Buy, Radio Shack and online starting next Monday, June 28. Prepaid Wireless Guide, Learn the Ins and Outs of this Growing Industry.

Virgin Mobile USAVirgin Mobile’s latest offering, the MiFi 2200, is an inexpensive personal wireless hot spot.
Finding free Wi-Fi for your laptop to send a quick e-mail message or to find something online has become increasingly difficult — and sometimes impossible. That’s slowly starting to change as several stores and restaurants, including Starbucks and McDonald’s, begin offering free Wi-Fi for customers. But there is also a new trend: people are starting to carry their own hot spots with them. These small devices can let several laptops or phones connect to the Internet simultaneously over Wi-Fi. Now Virgin Mobile USA is entering the personal hot spot fray, offering a sleek little wireless hub called the MiFi 2200 that goes on sale in the United States on Monday. But Virgin will have some competition. So how does Virgin separate itself from the competition? Verizon’s MiFi costs $270 without a data contract, or $50 with a two-year contract.
