    Does not work without having a cell phone on the network to activate the unit. No customer service support can be reached. A waste of time. Best buy salesperson did not know the product and advised that it could be used without a cell from the provider. Wrong

    Make sure they activate it at the store. It will not work. I returned it after hours on the phone and returning to the store twice to get it working.

    I use it in my truck for computer and television. So far it serves the purpose I purchased it for. It is difficult to set up but fortunately the salesman at Best Buy did it for me.

    Easy to use- however, wish I could add different amounts- but once you sign up for a plan- you are stuck in that plan unless you change it.

    I bought this product in an emergency and it is working perfectly. The setup did take some time as I think the people on chat/phone were unclear what I was trying to activate. But...once activation was complete, the unit works perfectly and consumes very little power, which is personally important to me. I would prefer a heavier material for its build, but I think it will hold up just fine durability wise.

    Very poor service. The storewoman told me that my old unit would not work but in talking to Verizon it does. Then sold me a new unit but did not release it so I could connect with Verizon. Have to travel back to the store to get it released just as I am trying to get out of town. Very disappointed.
