We are disappointed that Verizon requires us to purchase another data plan "IF" we wish to switch to a Smartphone. It is not feasible for us from a cost standpoint. We were led to believe that the MIFI2200 could handle up to five wireless devices but were not told that it would not be usable for the data with a SmartPhone such as the Eris.
We will not be upgrading to a Smart Phone if we are required to purchase an additional data plan.
