Q: What are the data plans? And what are the prices?

A: I think now it is $25 for 1.5G and $50 for 10G

Q: Do I have to have a boost mobile phone account to activate a wifi hotspot? Can I just buy and activate the hotspot with boost without already having a mobile phone account with them? Thanks!

A: You can activate the hotspot without having a cell contract. I purchased for a business trip and activated it for one month. I am not a boost customer and had no problem

Q: I need to know if this device works at 7 Roys Store Road, Chatham, Mississippi 38731

A: Sorry, the device only works as far as 6 Roys Store Road, Chatham, Mississippi 38731

Q: Do these portable wifi hotspots, for example this boost one, do they work with iPhones? If I wanted to put it in my car to have wifi instead of using all my phones data? I'm unsure of if this hotspot is compatible with iPhones.

A: Yes, so far I've had no problems with any phone I've hooked up to it. It stays charged for a while IF you let it charge up fully. But I wouldn't recommend buying less than 10 bucks for top up. Unless you don't use as much data. But on the other hand if you're short on cash you can get 1 gig of data for 5 bucks.

Q: Need to know if this device is good for gamers, I play mostly Steam games and I have a rather large library and play online a lot so has any one used this thing for gaming or live streaming?

A: First, this runs off LTE so you're paying for the amount of data you use. So it all depends if you want to keep on paying for LTE usage instead of using your home/office wifi. Speedwise, it all depends on the game. It's better for simulation games like starcraft and such. Not so good with FPS games where that microsecond drop in speed will be life and death. Forget about live streaming, will use too much data and will be slow.

Q: is it possible to use with sprint?

A: No, the hotspot is only compatible with Boost Mobile.

Q: Does the data expire after so many days or months.

A: It's only good 30 days from the date you add the card. Any left over data does not carry over.
