Nighthawk M6 Verizon compatible?
I'm really interested in the new Nighthawk M6 hotspots but Verizon is my cell carrier. Does anyone know if these routers are compatible with the Verizon network and, if so, how complicated it can be to set up? I've done a lot of digging around online and have found really mixed results. Any help would be much appreciated!

Right now, you can purchase Verizon SIM cards from their store when you provide the device's IMEI.
But there is a tricky thing that needs handling first. Since MR6150 and MR6550 on the market were loaded with the older FW before Verizon TA. In order for the device to fully computable with Verizon network, please make sure to upgrade the device to the latest releases.
FW: 12.01.47.00
PRI: 04.11
Thanks
Is there any chance that Verizon will allow the MR6550 to be used with their prepaid plans anytime soon? It currently appears Verizon only allows it to be used with postpaid plans.
