I'm glad I read this thread, I signed up for a Mobile Share data plan for my laptop, and while the rep said it was month-to-month since it was my own device, looking on the website I am indeed on a contract. :I

What's the cheapest way (monthly cost) for me to use a 3G/4G USB modem with about 2 GB of data per month?

I'm currently on "FamilyTalk" with two phones:
* iPhone 5 w/unlimited data
* iPhone 4 with 250 MB (wife's phone)

This costs $94.29 per month (plus taxes/fees) after our 23% FAN discount.

If I switch to Mobile Share (for the sole purpose of adding a 3G/4G USB modem), it will cost a LOT more ($159.30 including the 3G/4G modem).

Do I have any other options?

I was hoping to get a 3G/4G USB modem added to my account for something like $20/month for 2GB...

You could always open a new Mobile Share data plan, $30(-FAN) base + $20 per modem. Should be $43/mo after FAN. Ends up being slightly cheaper and you also get a 4GB bucket, plus if you ever want to add an iPad or something to that, it's only $10.

No idea about existing lines for non-data Mobile Share, though. Non-mobile share laptop lines were $50/mo for 5GB last I checked. Modem plans are always kind of expensive.
