Jetpacks can't be on an unlimited data plan regardless.

most jetpacks take a different sized SIM anyways but if you did have a model that took micro switching it automatically changes the device and priceplan in VZ's backend system.

Hey why not give it away, since they are ripping you off for the tiered data plan. WHat's the use of a gee-whiz hotspot if it cost you a fortune to keep connected?

Some Verizon stores will actually discount the device by $20. So the initial cost for the hardware is $50 before the $50 rebate, so it ends up being free. You might have to ask them nicely though :)

Listed as software upgradeable for LTE on AWS, where would that be an advantage over the 4260LE. You lose GSM world roaming.
