Sierra Wireless 598U for PAY-AS-YOU-GO Mobile Broadband (service sold separately)

Pay-As-You-Go Mobile Broadband from 3Gstore requires NO contract, NO credit checks, and NO deposits and is the ideal solution for folks needing only occasional mobile broadband access, a backup internet plan, temporary access for a conference or tradeshow, infrequent travelers, and anyone simply wanting to avoid a credit check and contract!



How it Works: Pay-As-You-Go Mobile Broadband from 3Gstore is extremely easy to use - it works just like a pre-paid cell phone, but with data instead of voice minutes. You simply purchase the aircard and then purchase pre-paid service as you need it. The service can be bought in 250MB or 1GB increments either online or by calling a toll-free number. Once you activate your pre-paid service, you can use your aircard just like you would if you had a contract with a service provider - you can use the aircard right in your computer or even use it with a router to share the connection with multiple computers! Once you've used the data you paid for, you can easily add more or just hang on to your aircard until the next time you need it.

How Much Does it Cost? The Sierra Wireless 598U modem (included in this bundle) is $79.99, and that is a one-time cost - you OWN the modem. There are two options for the pre-paid service:

• 250MB: $25 (expires after 8 days once you activate it). Read more about what you can do with 250MB.
  
• 1GB (1000MB): $60 (expires after 30 days once you activate it). Read more about what you can do with 1GB.
• NOTE: NO pre-paid service cards are included with this modem - you may purchase them separately, OR you may purchase the modem with 1GB pre-paid service or purchase the modem with 250MB pre-paid service.
  

The pre-paid service cards have NO expiration or time limit until you activate it - meaning you can purchase the pre-paid service cards anytime and have them available and ready for when you need them!
