As a mom and a blogger, I like being connected. I like to know what’s going on with my friends, my family, current events and my Google calendar. Being able to connect to the internet whenever I want to is a key part of this. Usually my iPhone is enough, but other times I would like to read through emails and such on my iPad or laptop with a larger screen. I tested out the NetZero 4G HotSpot and now I can get connected whenever and wherever I may be. To some it may be a curse, to me it’s a blessing.
Here is my favorite part about the Hotspot. I can take it anywhere to get work done. In addition to this blog, I co-manage a second blog, cover social media for our local farmers market and get way too many emails a day. I try not to spend too much time at the computer, but it’s kind of a job requirement. My most productive time with the computer is spent at a coffee shop where I can work undisturbed. With my NetZero HotSpot, I can go to any coffee shop. Happily I can go to the small, local shop instead of a big chain coffee shop. It’s quieter and I’m even more productive without the distraction of major people watching.
You can take the NetZero HotSpot to your favorite coffee shop, big or small.
One important factor in using a HotSpot is maintaining privacy. The NetZero offers a private, protected internet connection. You can however, let a small team use the HotSpot. Up to 8 people can log in and use it. This offers great flexibility for people who work in small groups. Or, use it in a car that allows you to amplify a HotSpot for all passengers. Everyone can tune in to their own mobile devices while on the go.
Want to try it out? Check out the NetZero website for details on all the many options available. The hardware is on sale now for the holidays, plus the value-priced monthly data plans cover a wide range of needs. For any blogger than attends a conference, having your own wireless is a lifesaver.
NetZero is also offering a $300 value giveaway for one lucky reader. This will include 3 months of their Platinum Plan. Just think, you could be getting some work down while you sit in a waiting room, enjoy some fresh coffee or while your kids are busy at after-school lessons. The contest is open to US residents only, it ends December 20th at midnight. Please enter using the Rafflecopter below.

I find it interesting that the hot spot is portable because my phone doesn’t work in a lot of places and IM assuming that with the hotspots it would work anywhere.
reasonable plans for secure on the go internet
I learned a lot; however, I favor the privacy/secure connection as well as the ability to share it with about 8 other people (great for working/blog-in’s and other opportunities to work side-by-side). The plans are affordable, and flexible. All great aspects that are important to me and our family.

Hi Emily,
I love the NetZero 4G hotspot review, the free ISP you may remember from back in the dial-up days, is back, and this time it’s bringing the broadband.
