Please help! I'm not entirely sure I grasp how this technology works, and would love some help. I need to set my mom up with the internet when she moves to a rural area soon. I want to use Sprint but I'm not sure which is the better way to go.

A) Get a sierra wireless Usb airport thing (i might be using the wrong teminology?) and add the $60/month fee for 5GB/month. OR

B) get her a LG Optimus phone and enable Hotspot for $30/month. From what I understand hotspot usage is unlimited. (To me, this seems like the waay better deal, but almost too good to be true.)

She only want to use the internet to send e-mails, upload photos, and stream netflix.

Is the Optimus the best choice?

I would not suggest using the V to hotspot for any length of time,as this is against the terms of use,so you run the risk of a suspended service,Also where did you see a hotspot plan for the V at 30 dollars,last i checked it says 25 for 300 minutes talk unlimited data, texts,i would call your local phone or cable company to get internet to a fixed location,you will have far less problems and more stable service.
 
I've got a Clear Ispot hacked to provide wifi to anything. $25/month for their 4G service, but I heard the Ipot is no longer being sold.
