Over the past few weeks, you may have heard me talk a lot about my new Samsung Galaxy S III. I have not even scratched the surface of what my phone can do or the capabilities of the Verizon Wireless network. Recently, I learned how easy it is to create a mobile hotspot with the Galaxy S III. It has been very useful, allowing me to surf the web on my kindle when I’m away from home, love it! It’s also nice to know that if the power goes out, I could still get work done on my laptop by using the hotspot feature on my phone! Even better, you don’t even need to own a smartphone to take advantage of a mobile hotspot!
With the new Verizon Wireless Jetpack, now you can have the same mobile hotspot experience that you see in you tablet or smartphone with this dedicated device. A Jetpack will allow you to connect multiple Wi-Fi enabled devices to the internet, without the need for a smartphone. You can even connect more than one device at the same time. Jetpacks are super useful for anytime you need to travel away from home or office, yet stay connected to the web.

I would use it for the 3G!
I travel for blogging and can really use a hotpot when i’m on trips so I can share in the Moment
OMG, this would be so cool! And a much more reasonable price (and I’m assuming more reliable) than what I’m using now! I won’t have to drive around looking for a WIFI hotspot either!
Wow! Thank you so much for this awesome giveaway! We are a happy Verizon family of 5 who would really make the most of this wonderful prize! My husband is an online professor and we are often “stuck” at home during his classes. With the Jetpack, we could have the freedom of taking his classes on the go with us as well as saving on our battery charges too! Thank you! :-)
this would be great to take while traveling no more looking for hotspots
I would love to have this when traveling, either alone or with the whole family. It would be a great way to keep everybody connected!
Thanks!
