A: No, the idea is that you can purchase prepaid time and use it. Once you run out then you can purchase more. Be careful of some customer service agents at ATT. My Daughter went to activate the device and the CS rep tried numerous times to get her to get a plan for the device saying it was needed, however my daughter refused to do so. That said, if you want to get a plan with it I suppose you can, however the idea is to purchase recharge time and use it like that. Hope this helps...
Q: What is an unlimited data plan
A: Always read the fine print. True unlimited will have no "throttling," meaning some companies refer to their plan as unlimited; however, the fine print reveals they give you a certain amount of data at high speed, and, once that is used up they "throttle" the service down to speeds similar to the old "dialup."
Q: Can i use this in a cabin by the lake with no internet or phone service?
A: No. It's just like a cell phone. If your AT&T phone works there, this will work there. If not, best of luck!
Q: does this device come with unlimited data or internet
A: AT&T now offers a prepaid unlimited plan, but the download speed is maxed at 3 Mbps. This speed might not be enough for other needs, but for basic internet browsing and video streaming in standard definition, it will be OK. Just like the other unlimited plans, once you reach a cap (22 gb of data usage), your internet traffic may be subject to network management during peak times. A Best Buy AT&T rep can explain this better if you have other questions. The unlimited plan offered by Cricket wireless might be a better option, for the same price, the download speed is maxed at 8 Mbps, and runs off AT&T towers too. This mobile hotspot will work with Cricket wireless. Check it out!
A: Yes, this product is suitable for that application.
A: Unlimited data on it is $40 with or without other att plans
Q: This device is to provide me with wifi right? So I won't be using up all of my data plan allotment?
A: Correct! But you still need to purchase a prepaid card $30-$50-$80 and it eill provide you with internet connection via wifi rather than using ur phone plane data! If u have Direct TV and ur cell phone is AT&T call up AT&T and tell them in your house younhave direct TV and they will change your plan to UNLIMITED EVERYTHING
A: No. Not unless you setup an auto pay. I have 3 for my students at our after school program and it allows us to connect 8 to 10 students each. When we run out of data...usually toward the end of the month I can add on a few more gigs for 10 bucks. It's easy to refill and load up via internet. My students love it. Connection is fast since I use it in my school office for wireless printing. Since we work on a grant I didn't want to get a contract. So when the grant ends so does the hotspot purchase. Excellent buy. Get it.
