No Service
I purchased a Virgin Mobile Mifi 2200 from Walmart in Feb. I had a little trouble installing it because I had a communication manager from ATT on my computer and it is how I connect to WiFi but I got thru it. Less than a week later, the mifi quit working. I called the 800 number every hour or so and I just kept being on "hold". Finally I held until someone answered 1 hour and 47 minutes later! They then told me that there was a update and they would have to reboot me. We got it reactivated and I was assured that the update was only once a year and I should have no further problems. I have now called them on 9 different indicents of "no internet service" and I have to go thru a very loud auto answer from a voice who calls itself "Ales". Alex is way too happy - probably becuase he delights in the torture one must go thru to speak to a person. I have always talked to people with very thick Indian accents and they used American names like Rick and Jason. If your name is Indian and you have such a thick accent, just use your real name! Finally I learned how to reactivate my unit by myself and found I was having to reactivate every time I turned it off. The person I spoke with last week seemed amazed that I turned it off and took it other places. Isn't it for that purpose? Finally, I yelled loud enough that they sent me a replacement. Supposedly I am not supposed to have to reactivate it every time - finally someone listened! The new one came after I had no service for a week. I was assured that I would keep the same account and the $40 unlimited service that is no longer available. I entered the new EIN into my computer and phones when I got the new unit and expected it to work. NO! I had to got thru Alex's happy little voice and hit the number 1 7 times becuase he now walks you thru the activation steps before he lets you talk to a live person in India. I called 3 times and each time they acted like I wasn't following the steps. Finally one guy put in a ticket and said the problem was at their end and my Mifi was just start working within 4 hours. 4 hours later, no service. I called and went thru pressing 1 and listening to happy Alex until I reached another man. It was ten p.m. and I give my account number and password to the guy and tell him to check my account because I am not explaining the problem again. He comes back on the line, calls me by my first name (legal name, not what I go by) and proceeds to happily tell me that there is no problem. I differed with him that there was a problem because after the promised time I still have no service and I am going out of town the next day and I would like to use the Mifi with my laptop. I am then informed that they have 72 hours to fix my problem. I asked for a manager and after holding for 10 minutes I am told that the manager is on another very long call and no one can help me. I give up. I am going to just cancel the service. I was saving some money over the ATT Motorola Wifi and was able to use the Mifi with phones and laptops, but it is not worth all the time I have spent on hold and all the "unlimited" 5G I have paid for and not been able to use. Do not buy this product. It's a great idea and when it works it is fine, even faster than I expected. When it goes wrong there is no way to get help. There is only one 877 number, no email addresses, and no people who speak English to help.

Internet Service
DONOT BUY VIRGIN MOBILE MIFI, IT IS A HORRIBLE INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER, NO TECH SUPPORT OR AT LEAST NO ENGLISH SPEAKING TECH SUPPORT... HORRIBLE..

YES I WILL BE GETTING MY MONEY BACK PLUS SOME .. PEPLE DONT LET THEM GET OVER ON YOU..
..
03/10/2011 I spent 1 1/2 hours with tech support, explaining that I purchased the "used" Mifi from another customer who did not provide the necessary information needed to access the account .. Long story short, after 1 1/2 hours, they just added the top up $$ to the account.
03/14/2011 I spent yet ANOTHER 1 hour with tech support, explaining the SAME yet NOTED information on the account, and STILL no SUPPORT.. Clerk keeps saying, Im sorry without the 6-digit pin I cannot help you, nor can I apply the top up Prepaid info, because of the 6-digit pin.
If you want a mifi2200, purchase DIRECT from SPRINT, or another tech support service, that CAN ACTUALLY give you SUPPORT for what you have paid for..
