Customers are saying

Many customers appreciate the convenience of having a mobile hotspot, especially when traveling, and the no-contract feature eliminates the need for a monthly subscription.However, some customers have concerns about the hotspot's data usage, as it can consume a significant amount of data when streaming videos. Additionally, the battery life could be improved, and a few customers found it to be expensive to use.

    Good Hotspot for the lake

    The hotspot worked fine. We were able to connect to the internet. The only downside is the cost of data. Since we only use it at the lake, some of the data purchased the first month was lost, it does not roll over. I purchased less data the next time and we went thru it in about 30 minutes. I wish the data would roll over.

    The Verizon hot spot is relatively simple to use. It is durable and with only an on/off button, is easy to operate. I use a pre-paid card and add $ once my current funds are used up and that is also a relatively painless process,

    My first impression was that I really liked the feel of the Ellipsis, It's rugged and compact and easy to transport. It's compact size comes with a price the screen is very small and for me hard to read at times, (I do wear glasses so take that with a grain of salt), It performs well but battery life is an issue, again probably a trade of for size. Overall it's a great device and worth the money

    This was the best price I found for the hotspot, while verizon was selling for 4 times the best buy price. It is a good investment for accessing internet on the travel for connecting to laptops.

    Don't expect to stream any videos or download quickly. Besides that it works fine for email, text, social media. Even worked well with google maps for me while driving.

    i was in need of connection until internet could be brought to our rural location and this served the purpose and met the need. The speed was good and had no real problems after figuring out how to get it reloaded. that info could've been made more readily obtainable. Now that i have regular service to my home, i can still use this for travel or other needs.

    Bought this unit because we were going cross country and knew that we would have used all our data for our phones before the end of our trip.

    Bought this for my father in-law who does not have home internet. He was able to get online and do a few things as needed with this device. Good for occassionaly use, but not practical for long term due to hig cost of data.

    Purchased to compare signal strength with my current cell phone provider without being locked in a plan. So far it has been great strong signal, 1GB lasted the whole month with MB's to spare. Used with laptop and two tablets as well as phone.
