We got a MIFI that we activated during our travels in the USA during May 2017 (30 days), also added to it for our 25 days present August 2017. We are planning a 5 month travel down there from April 2018, but received the following email recently so wondering if we are going to have issues?

Can anyone give any insight on to why this would have come through, and anything I need to do in order to ensure come April we don't have any issues with adding data through a prepaid Best Buy Idaho Falls, which we've found the most helpful for putting the data on for us the first couple of uses.

Sorry this is all a little alien to us non-techy's. Thanks in anticipation.

What happens when you try to re-register as per the instructions? You could also try calling customer service.

I tried all the various Canadian add ons and along along with various US programs. We went to Walmart and bought a AT&T internet brick (4 usb ports - $49.00) and a Net 10 flip phone(about $15.00) .
BOTH only required payment as you used them. I cancelled them when I came home and just threw tem up onto the recycling shelf. They are not usable in Canada,.
Found this to be the cheapest way to use a phone (can call Canada).
Hope this helps.

thanks, i got my iPhone unlocked tonight, and I've been led to believe i just pick up a sim card in USA and go an an unlimited pay as you go data plan. not looking for phone, only data, so i hope that works. sounds similar to what you did? im not sure i know what an internet brick is...

The internet "brick" is a small object - like a old cig box and it is a cellphone data connection - usually 4 devices. Version will give you a free one if you sign up for 2 years but with the one from Walmart it was $49.00 and we could by 3-5-or 8 gig packages. When we came home we just put it up on a shelf and didn't have and further charges.
