Verizon Wireless has posted a Frequently Asked Questions document offering further details of its new iPad Wi-Fi + MiFi 2200 bundles and the associated data plans. According to the FAQ, the bundle will be available at Verizon’s stores, verizonwireless.com, via telesales, and through business-to-business sales representatives, but will not be available from Apple. In addition to the $20 for 1GB monthly plan, Verizon is also offering a $35 for 3GB plan, and a $50 for 5GB option; overages will be charged in 1GB increments and will cost $20, $10, or $10, respectively, depending on the plan. Notably, customers will need to sign a service agreement for the 3G plans, but the plans are available on a month-to-month basis without any termination fee. The document also notes that the MiFi 220 is a 3G-only device, and neither it nor the iPad can be upgraded to support 4G networks.

The additional plans definitely make the offer more tempting.
Too bad existing MiFi owners can’t take advantage of the offer by simply purchasing an iPad through Verizon.
Also, jacked up that the 5GB option is $10 cheaper than what I’m now paying, plus there’s no termination fee. Anybody remember the good ol’ days when businesses would reward customers for their loyalty? Now it seems they’re only concerned with getting new customers.
