I have a portable Verizon 3G hotspot (Fivespot) I no longer need with service I no longer need. I have been instructed by Verizon that if I find someone who wants this, I can avoid the cancellation fee and the person who service is transferred to will get free activation for this device and a Verizon data plan; 2 gigs per month start at $20/mo.
