Sprint follows Verizon Wireless in releasing the Novatel Wireless Mifi 2200 mobile hotspot device to customers, allowing them to connect WiFi-enabled devices anytime, anywhere via the Sprint Mobile Broadband 3G network. Sprint's pricing for the Novatel Wireless MiFi 2200 mobile hotspot device is $99.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate with a new two-year service agreement. Customers can choose from a $59.99 per month mobile broadband only plan or a $149.99 per month Simply Everything Plan + Mobile Broadband. Coming in June with the official name "Sprint Mobile Hotspot," it will be the first in the U.S. to support MiFi 2200's GPS capabilities.

“You can hold the MiFi 2200 in the palm of your hand, slip it in your pocket, even place it on a beach towel if you’re lying under the sun and wirelessly connect your laptop, MP3 player and gaming device to the Internet all at once,” said Steve Elfman, president of network, wholesale and product, Sprint.
