Q: QuestionWould I be able to upgrade my Verizon wireless for the hot spots on the go? Can it be used on a desktop also..

Asked 9 years ago by onthego.

• A:Answer Your question is unclear. If you activate this Mobley device, pay for service, and install it in your car (on the OBDII port), you will have a wifi hotspot in your vehicle. You can connect to this wifi hotspot with any wifi-compatible devices including phones, tablets, laptops, or desktops (with wifi adapters). It doesn't matter who you use for a cell carrier on that phone, if you're connecting to this device with wifi. I hope that answers your question and helps others.

Q: Questioncan you do online gaming with xbox live with it?

Asked 8 years ago by alleycat.

• A:Answer Possibly. A lot will depend on the local towers you would be connected to. While the Mobley uses LTE it only uses one channel at a time, and depending on your region's towers those channels/towers could be slow if congested. Newer stand-alone WiFi hotspot devices are able to use two different channels at the same time to greatly improve throughput and help if one channel is busy. Newer devices also are likely to have more channel frequencies they can use. That said, no other WiFi hotspot can be set up for $20 unlimited data/month. We used our Mobley on a recent road trip with multiple kids streaming while going down the highway. Video can buffer for when you'd transition towers and video doesn't care much if you have a bad ping speed. So while your XBox would likely connect well, latency would potentially make multi-player gaming difficult.

Q: QuestionMy At&T Uverse Plan includes free WiFi hotspot networking, how would this device work with my existing plan?

Asked 9 years ago by Sondra.

• A:Answer Chances are you misunderstand what they're offering. What they're saying is you can use your account login info from your home internet service to sign in to paid AT&T-hosted networks around the nation when you're out and about. That said, if you have a cell phone on the newer unlimited plans, you may be able to add a "normal" battery powered hotspot which will have better performance for the same $20/month if you add it onto your existing cell service. That might be a better option for those who have unlimited cell phone plans with AT&T. For the rest of us this is a fantastic bargain data plan. Unlimited data for $20/month, and it can be on a stand-alone account. The ONLY services I have with AT&T is my two Mobley devices.

Q: QuestionWill Mobley work with google voice? Thank you

Q: QuestionI travel in Canada occasionally, will it work there, and are there any additional charges?

Asked 8 years ago by Grog.

• A:Answer It will NOT work. These use a US-only data plan. This Mobley device uses a very specific Connected Car Unlimited Data Plan for $20/month unlimited data (subject to de-prioritization after 22GB in a month). What that means is AT&T is counting on these to just use data on their own towers. They can't and do NOT allow these to roam to other towers because then they'd have to pay that tower owner/provider for the data used.

Q: QuestionWhen will this be available again?

Asked 8 years ago by Moble.

• A:Answer They are likely at the end of production. A standard mobile hotspot performs the same task, however.

  I would recommend:

  • 

    AT&T - Unite Explore 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot

Asked 9 years ago by Booty.

Q: QuestionThe inserted SIM card in the device is the same with the one used in the cell phone? Or it is a special-made SIM card?

Asked 9 years ago by WREN.

• A:Answer Its a standard micro SIM but when AT&T activates it they put it on a data device plan. Swapping the SIM out into a phone or vice-versa probably won't work because of the service activated on the SIM even though the SIM will fit.
