I've had to return these a couple times because the division or company that Verizon uses to program these doesn't properly release the devices in their system. Very disappointed!

The item did work but getting it to work was a pain. I ended up having to call verizon themselves to get a new number and get it set up correctly. I also wish it was a little easier to reactivate if you let it run out. I was hoping to only use it during trips with long drives.

This product eventually worked exactly as intended, but it took many days of frustration, pointless phone calls (being bounced around voice prompt answering systems) and driving back and forth between Best Buy and Verizon. Turns out Best Buy sold me expired minutes.
I’m still recommending the product because it is very affordable and eventually worked. Just expect problems and delays, have a plan to manage your rage.
