Alright, so it’s not a real jetpack — which would be completely awesome — but the Verizon Jetpack 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot is still pretty sweet in its own right.
What is it exactly? I’m glad you asked! Basically it’s a portable device that allows you to connect up to 10 Wi-Fi enabled devices at once to Verizon’s lightning fast 4G LTE network.
There’s a $20 monthly fee that goes along with the Jetpack, but luckily the folks over at Verizon are also hooking the winner up with a $150 Verizon Wireless gift card, which if my math is correct should cover seven and a half months of service!
Now I know you’re probably thinking “This is a food blog! What does this giveaway even have to do with food?” To that I say “Hey, one of you is going to win a sweet Jetpack Mobile Hotspot and a $150 gift card! Do you really even care what it has to do with food?”
Actually though I’m part of a thing called the Verizon Wireless Savvy Gourmets program where Verizon gives me stuff like tablets and free 4G service and then I write about how I use their devices while blogging. It’s a pretty sweet deal, and thanks to this contest it’s not only paying off for me, but for you guys as well!
Wanna win the Jetpack 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot and the $150 Verizon Wireless gift card? Just leave a comment below telling me that you want in on this amazing giveaway. I’ll pick a random winner on Monday, October 1st. Good luck!
Update: 10/1/2012 — Congratulations to Curt who won the Jetpack Mobile Hotspot and $150 Verizon Wireless gift card!
| Disclosure: I am participating in the Verizon Wireless Midwest Savvy Gourmets program and have been provided with a wireless device and six months of service in exchange for my honest opinions about the product. |
