Depends on where you are. Obviously if you're in the US, you will probably get screwed into some kind of contract and locked hardware. I pay 10€/month, data only, no contract.

There is a CDMA version (often locked I believe), and a GSM version of the Mifi. If you get the GSM mifi from http://www.mobilx.hu/en/novatel-wire...e-hotspot.html, it is unlocked. From there, you can either get a data plan added on to your voice plan, or you can get a pay as you go plan. In the states, I would still buy the european (GSM) version, to get freedom of choice on carriers and worldwide coverage.

If you add a data plan to an existing voice plan, I suspect that means you will have to clone your sim chip in order to continue using your sim chip in a phone.
