Lower price mobile broadband dongles (?)

What are you guys using, and are there any deals out there?

I saw something at Target, without contract. The thing cost 70$, I'm not sure how much it come down to monthly after that.

Looking for something cheap.

I use sprint. It costs me $60 a month with 5g transfer which I have never hit. I'm not sure if it's cheaper since I have my cell phone through them or not.

I use virgin mobile with not contract. It's the month to month. i buy the $20 virgin card and that's allows me access. again the goal to save money is spend as little time on there (check email, ship product) and log off to save time.

How much is the dongle?

Hi all. I am in UK and I have seen some great deals on eb and amazing.

Much better than actually going to the service provider!

As you lot are from US, there are even better deals there.

ie. .... in UK , normally have to pay £10 for 1gb/month but can get same for £6.

Also for dongles in UK, normally £20 odd, but can get £10 with some gb aswell.

Even for phone credit... eb and amazing offer for eg. .... £10 credit for £6. I was doing £10 credit for £2.50 last year when I had £50,000 topup credit for sale in £10's. Convert credit to mobile broadband and bob is now your uncle.....

..... oh yeah... I didn't pay a penny piece for the 50g credit (obtain legally suprisingly enough - even had 121 meeting with a major UK network provider as they were not happy!) - thats why I am a somewhat legend xXx

Dongle is $60 or$70 at Wal-Mart. The $20/month they speak of gives you 500MB. That's completely fine if you are just building up a few accounts. But you will want at least 1GB/month of data once sales start to pick up. The next Virgin plan gives you unlimited data for $50/month. If that's too much, hit up T-Mobile for $30/month allotting you 1GB/month data.
