Why can't you give a price of what it would cost for a carrier for this device. Do you have a certain carrier with each MiFi or can you pick the carrier of you choice?

This works with T-Mobile service. You have to pay a monthly fee for the AtHome service. Mine is $10 per month.

Not if you are just using it to give you a stronger signal. You still have to stay within your plan minutes. AT&T; will sell you an unlimited plan for an additional $19.99 but that is not required. I bought a new Microcell from a third party a few months ago and installed following the supplied directions and it has worked great. No additional fees on my bill. The Microcell actually routes the calls through your internet connection so the cell capacity isn't even used. So AT&T; wins, too. They free up cell capacity. Seems like they should pay us. :)

I don't know, I've never used the device, it costs too much $50/month subscription to use it.

nope and that's why I returned it. You still have to have monthly service, nowhere in there a does it say that. I fully installed the entire system and could not get to work with my phone until I called them and they tried to sign me up for the monthly fee. I sent it back and Amazon refunded me my money after reading their ad. Sorry.

Depends on your plan. I chose the 35.00 a month plan, talk/text for the service, plus 2.77 service charge (tax?), if I do not pay, no service.

I just recently purchased this phone from Amazon and am on AT&T. So far I've been using the phone for a month and it hasn't detected it as a smartphone only because its not in their system, so no $30 data plan. I think this phone should be fine without the data plan unless you call up AT&T and tell them your phone is a smartphone. However, I also spoke with an AT&T representative and he said all smartphones, AT&T branded or unlocked, will be charged the $30/month data plan regardless.

Yes. Keep in mind that if you use text messaging you could incur additional charges. Before we left AT&T; I paid a few bucks for 100 text messages each month. We had to pay additional for my wife's phone to have text as well - even though we were on a family plan. If you use other features that require data you could incur still additional charges.

Yes I use it on at&t; go phone $65 monthly plan. It doesn't come with a sim but you can go to an at&t; store & get one for free they will also activate it for you if you want.

No it does not. Unless you do not have unlimited talk on your cell (an older plan) and would like to have unlimited with microcell from home, there is a small charge. Otherwise no monthly charges. I have had mine for over 5 years and it works great. I would check the price from AT&T; directly if they are your carrier.

No I don't my son already has a plan so he just pay $30 a month, but, the down side is, if you have tmobile as your service, your phone won't be able to access the internet or other features unless you have AT&T; then you'll have all the features. My son don't use that phone anymore. I hope this helps.

I don't believe AT&T; has sim cards. I already had T-mobile service, so that is why I selected that vendor. You can choose any vendor that issues sim cards. as for basic line services, should be like 10$/month. The unit will accept line lines if you already have one, but if lan line is cut by intruder or service is down, the unit will not call out.

I use ATT pre-paid, 65 dollar a month plan for smart phones. Works great with this phone!

Thanks for the reply. I don't want to pay a monthly fee since I will be using the phone very sparingly over the year.

yes. If you use it on ATT, the company will impose a minimum smart phone charge whether you use digital services or not. If you need digital service you might want to look at Consumer Cellular. They use the att system, and one can select much lower content programs than available from att, tmobile etc.

Yes. It wi8l probably cost you $30-40 per month depending on your plan. It is added like another phone. If you just need a hotspot, most smartphones can double as a hotspot without this device.

No, There are is no monthly fee. It is truly free when you activate the device it will offer you free 2.5 gb free but if you look closer it will say first month and the second option is 500mb of free data monthly for life. Use that one. after setup log in to your account and turn off "auto top of/auto refill" of data or when you get to 450mb of data they will charge to refill.
