Does anyone know if any of those devices have a direct antenna input port? I'm not too impressed with the "Samsung Hotspot". I have an "Elevate" that I like but it's ATT.

I know the Novatel 551 does

I'm bringing an iPad over this year, has anyone heard of a Verizon plan that is casual or prepaid without a contract? This year we need it for a couple of months, but will be for at least 6 months each of the next 2 years..

There is no contract with Millenicom . That is the whole point . No taxes, No Contract , Higher data limits . For an ipad you would need a hotspot plan.

Through Verizon directly, if you have a "qualified Verizon device", any plan Verizon should offer would be available "month-to-month". The only time one should ever find themselves locked into a long-term commitment is when they purchase a device (for little/no money up front) along with a plan. But I don't know that Verizon offers anything that works like a "pre-paid phone", they will only work month-to-month and inside the billing cycles. You will still have to sign a "contract", just make sure it states there in no commitment. You will also have to be careful about when you let them know you're wishing to stop service else run the risk of paying an additional month you don't need.

Not sure about an Australian I-Pad but I assume this could be activated on a US plan.

I was not aware Millinicom could activate [Australian] I-Pads but if they do, that would be the way to go.

I understand you Aussies are having large issues with sharks this year?

Does not matter where the ipad is from . The hotspot broadcasts a wifi signal for multiple devices . The ipad does not have to be cellular to work !!! Millenicom is month to month !!! There is no contract also the data limits are twice that compared to signing up with a plan direct with Verizon . Also because they are located in Oregon - There are no taxes . $69.99 per month is just that . Can be suspended and reactivated at anytime . It basically is a no brainer for the needs of a chaser.
