The “Unlimited Plus” plan is $30 per month for 50GB of data, including access to its mmWave network. It also only includes access to Verizon’s Sub-6 (nationwide) network, and not its mmWave (UWB) network. The base “Unlimited” plan is $20 per month and gives you 15GB of high-speed data, throttling your speeds thereafter. In order to use a Verizon hotspot as a consumer, you need to add it to an existing Verizon phone plan. Verizon 5G is clearly targeting the Inseego 5G MiFi M2100 5G UW at business users, reminding us that it offers VPN pass-through and data encryption so you can work securely on the go. Altogether the mobile device with its battery accessory is pretty big - the size of two large phones stacked together. But the battery supports Qualcomm’s Quick Charge tech, using USB-C, for a faster fill-up. The device’s own 3500mAh battery is likely only good for about 7 hours of use. Verizon quotes battery life at “up to” 24 hours, but getting that longevity requires the use of an additional battery backpack accessory that adds 8500mAh of capacity. It’s controlled through a 2.4-inch touch screen, showing you all pertinent information. The personal hotspot supports both Verizon’s Sub-6 and mmWave networks and rebroadcasts over Wi-Fi 6 to 30 devices simultaneously. Why we picked the Inseego 5G MiFi M2100 5G UW:īecause 5G hotspots are in their infancy, you actually don’t have choices at the moment - if you want a Verizon 5G hotspot, you have to get the Inseego 5G MiFi M2100 5G UW. Who it’s for: Anyone who isn’t satisfied with hotspotting their phone to access Verizon’s 5G network, and wants a hotspot with incredibly long battery life. Why you should buy this: Hotspots can provide a better signal than your phone’s hotspot function, and will save your phone’s battery from dying while pulling heavy data usage.
