    I don't like it at all. The data doesn't last, I purchased 5GB which lasted 2 days, when I tried to buy more, I was told I can only do it by calling Verizon so they can re start your cicle because it's supposed to last 2 months. You can not just purchase data whenever you want. I will return it.

    Watch out when you use it on your computer. They will automatically calculate anything that is running in the back and use up your data.

    I thought it had better coverage, but I'm very disappointed because it lost a lot of the connection

    In order to activate my prepaid Verizon data hot spot, I was on hold 42 minutes, then got transferred to the wrong department. I have limited minutes on my government phone, so near 6/20, I ran out of minutes for the month. This is not Best Buy's fault, but Verizon's. I wish there was another option besides Verizon, as I have had horrible experiences with this theiving company in the past.

    The survey states that I should enter an overall rating. I tried to give it no stars because it would not work per the instructions included. Took it to a Verison office and they could not get it to work. Returned it to Best Buy and gave up.

    The Jetpack could not be activated. The store replaced it and that one wouldn't activate either. Luckily the store was very cooperative and gave me a refund.

    The products storage ran out extremely quick and didn't last long. It isn't worth It. Just buy internet from your cable provider or another device

    I purchased this Jetpack and let it charge overnight. When I turned it on the next morning to activate, the display was so faint that it was unreadable. I took it back to the store to see if was something I wasn't doing correctly but I had feeling the person that was helping me didn't know or didn't care. I just returned it for credit. Later went by the company's store and got the same item for the same price and a helpful salesperson tp boot. She activated it for me and so far everthing seems to be working fine. I usually have no problems at Best Buy but this was not at the store I normally use.
