My Lenovo x60 has an EVDO modem built in. When I connect through VZ-Navigator, it prompts me to sign up for a regular 2-year contract, or pick the $15/day no contract op%0on.

" ??? What??? You already payed for it. It shouldn't expire if I never used that much. Can you say dumb? “Unused allowances expire at the end of each term. ”

I'm doing this right now with AT&T with a modem I bought awhile back. Works just as well as any other AT&T service. Or you can get Millenicom. 5GB Verizon for $60 per month non-contract, "unlimited" (maybe 50GB or so, who knows) Sprint for $70 per month non-contract or "unlimited" T-Mobile for $70 per month non-contract. It appears as though MCom is buying accounts rather than GBs so what "unlimited" means is up to the underlying carrier, but they're still very good plans. You just have to pay up for the modem, particularly if you get T-Mobile powered service; the cost of the featured modem is $150.
