A:AnswerYes, if you don’t purchase data for it you will need to reactivate the hotspot. I only use this every few months so do that. Reactivation is easy - just a call.
A:AnswerThe data is sold in 30 day increments. If you need more within a 30 day block you can purchase more. You lose what you do not use within your 30 day period.
A:AnswerIf the phones are able to connect to wifi then this will work regardless of their carriers. It would be similar to using one of the phones to connect to the free internet in a coffee shop, only in this case you own the internet connection. Note that you also will have to purchase data along with the mixer hotspot unit.
A:AnswerYes, you can use this with your laptop. I use mine with a laptop and a tablet. I can have internet service on my tablet wherever I go. No, this device does not come with internet access. For internet service, you have to contact Simple Mobile online in some way (I used my cell phone to go online to get in touch with Simple Mobile) and sign up for monthly internet service. There are no contracts. You can cancel the internet service at any time. Or you can continue monthly internet service from month to month. With Simple Mobile, the internet service is really inexpensive.
