Broadband2Go pre-paid mobile broadband on Virgin Mobile USA

Novatel Ovation MC760

Novatel Ovation MC760

Later this month, Virgin Mobile USA will roll out Broadband2Go. The pay as you go  mobile broadband service uses Sprint’s EVDO Rev. A network. No contract is required for the service which is purchased in increments starting at $10.

Casual users should note that Virgin Mobile Pay-as-you-go Top-Up cards are good for only 30 days. This means buying the most data at once, presumably at a lower per megabyte rate, may result in an expired card with a lot of data left unused. Here’s the rundown:

When the service goes live later this month you’ll be able to purchase a Novatel Ovation MC760 USB dongle for $150 sans contract. Pay-as-you-go VM Top-Up cards can be purchased in the following increments: 100MB, 250MB, 500MB and 1GB. Here’s where it gets a little confusing; 100MB will cost you $10, but you have to use that within 10 days. For $20 you get 250MB, 500MB for $40 and 1GB for $60, which have to be used within 30 days.

The Novatel Ovation MC760 USB dongle from Virgin Mobile costs $150 and a web based portal is provided to measure usage and check remaining time.
