I saw this discussion this morning and went to my Verizon store immediately. I have 2 phones with 8Gig currently with Verizon. At the store the young man showed me I could get unlimited on both phones and unlimited MIFI for nearly the price I was paying for 2 phone and 8Gig.
The Jetpack was $179, a bit pricey, would have been $99 if I had bought on 2 year purchase contract. Also my Verizon agent assured me I can turn off/on my jetpack service, for months I don't travel. If you call to reactivate you may be threatened with a $10 reactivation fee but assured if I went to the store it would be free to reactivate.
I would recommend a trip to your Verizon store. Guess I should visit them more often.
