There are even a number of resellers that will sell you the MiFi for 1 cent (which we assume as "free"). Alas, every "deal" nowadays comes with the standard "catch" - you need to sign up for a 2 year service plan in order to buy it.  For current Sprint customers that have existing cellular data card plans, and are in the middle of an existing contract, buying the MiFi with "no contract required" may be a good idea.  Verizon MiFi customers can also purchase the device without a contract and simply opt to use it on a $15-per-day fixed rate on whatever days they decides - in addition, there is no surcharges for exceeding the monthly data limit. The no-contract Verizon MiFi mobuile hotspot device may also be a great choice for existing Verizon wireless broadband customers, as they can arrange to have the remainder of their contract switched over to their new MiFi.

The one single biggest negative about buying the MiFi without a contract is that you will not receive the carriers customer subsidy, so you can expect to pay around $200 more (around $270 total). Given the fact the the monthly data access plan for the MiFi costs around $60, that cost can be offset in hust over 3 months.
