I went into Best Buy thinking I needed a new tablet because a hotspot I bought previously (straight talk hotspot) didn't work. When I told the sales rep, he told me I didn't need a new tablet but a good hot spot. He handed me off to another employee who told me that he would set up the new hot spot and test it before I left the store. I was told that the boost mobile netgear hot spot would be the best overall value for what I would be using it for. I left the store happy especially since an unscrupulous sale person could have sold me an expensive new tablet. I constantly use this hotspot at the gym to watch my Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu Plus and Youtube as I exercise. I am so pleased.

We purchased this when we went on a family vacation. It kept the kids entertained the entire time. There were a couple spots down south where we didn't have reception but besides that it was Great and well worth the money.

I purchased the item with the understanding that I could purchase GB's as needed. Reality is there is a monthly charge. If the GB's are used up then there is a charge of $25 to purchase 1-2 GB's. I do not know right off the exact number but it is around the GB I stated. The GB's are used up very quickly compared to my last one through Sprint. I also purchased this item with the understanding that I could return if it wasn't working. I found out that it cannot be returned period for any amount of days used. I was a little disappointed in that response for Ive been a very loyal customer. I have purchased several computers, tv's, cameras,gopro and the list goes on. In summary, I would not purchase this item again.
