    For a couple years I have a Ipod and a Mifi to get on the internet. Now that Verizon has Iphone with Mifi built in I was wondering how my Mifi data account will work with the Iphone and what do I do with the MiFi. Any body know how Verizon is going to handle this?

    Re: Iphone My MiFi Now what?

    I don't know what you mean BUILT IN, it has HOTSPOT capability. You can use your MiFi with the iPhone, and if I'm correct you had to take a contract with MiFi. With my HTC Incrideble I have HOTSPOT, which allows me to turn my phone into a wireless modem/WiFi so I can connect to my iPad when I don't have WiFi available to me like at Malls, libarys, coffee shops, and stuff.

    My Hotspot is 20$ a month with a 2GB cap, but I can cancel or add hotspot whenever I like, NO contract. So if I feel I not going to need my cell phone to be a hotspot for 2 months I can cancel... Then activate hotspot again when I feel I may need/want it.

    I think your allowed 5 devices to hook up to your MiFi.

    I'm assuming you have your wording correct.... Hotspot and MiFi are completely different. MiFi is a device (modem) thats the size of a cell phone, Hotspot is a setting that you can enable in the phone settings. Functionally they act the same, a wireless connection, cost wise their very different.

    I presently use my MiFi with my Ipod and have a contract with Verizon for 5g per month. The new Verizon 4g Iphone claims the MiFi is built in the Verizon Iphone and can accommodate 4 other computers, Ipod, etc, just like the MiFi does. My question is, if the Iphone in fact has MiFi built in and I purchase a Verizon Iphone will I just use my present 5g internet connection? And if so do they continue to charge me for the present MiFi devise until the contract time for the MiFi in over.

    Assuming you have a MiFi device and locked into a contract, you should be able to use or hook up your phone using the MiFi. The new iPhone by Verizon has a HOTSPOT capability which has NO contract needed, it's on a monthly bases and can be added or cancel at will.

    Speeds are slower with HOTSPOT than they are with MiFi... So I'm told
