Does this device replace my corrent Mifi from Verizon? or do I still need my Novetal Mifi? Can this be set-up as 3G only?

This is used usually with a USB WiFi device(some phones) from Verizon or other cellular service. It has no internal cellular, thus, does not replace the MiFi device.

This item can be 3G or 4G. Its hard to answer your other question, but depending on your model mifi i could be used with your mifi or without.

It had a built in antenna. I have one myself And I love it. Not obligated to sign up for a two yr contract or anything . I travel a lot and I almost always have a great 4G signal. At times I only get a 3G signal from the built in antenna that this device has. I have never lost signal and I have never went below a 3G signal no matter where I have went with my Verizon wireless MiFi. And it DOES NOT have an input for an antenna. I hope this answers your question, the only plug it has anywhere on the device is for the charger... And just a sidenote it holds a complete charge for a long time it is really good at holding a charge once fully charged. It had a built in antenna. I have one myself And I love it.

Hi, Katie. Just visit your account on AT&T;'s website and look for "upgrade" link.In fact you can upgrade at a reduced price, but that price is like $500 (maybe sell your 3Gs on Amazon and buy the 4G?)Don't forget to order a rubber bumper case to neutralize the well-documented antenna attenuation problem, and check out possibly insuring your new purchase at SquareTrade dot com (about $5 a month).Good luck!

I have used ATT mifi to stream movies thru another device and works fine. Will use up your data allowance quickly. Check your verizon site for estimating data on streaming movies.

Verizon does have devices that provide WiFi for up to 10 devices at once. This particular device will work with 5 devices at once. It's an older model than what Verizon is providing these days. I gave my Jetpack 4G LTE to my Mother as she only needs one that operates a few devices and I upgraded to the new Jetpack 4G LTE which is thicker and will allow you to charge an iPad, iPod, or smart phone on the device. The new Jetpack is thicker as it has a larger battery that lasts longer than the previous model (which is the one pictured with your question). I would recommend that you check with a cell phone provider (I have Sprint for my cell phone service as my son's company gets a discount and he's added me to his plan), but I do prefer Verizon for WiFi as I've never hit a dead zone using their devices -- Verizon has the best coverage and more 4G coverage than other cellular phone companies. I know that they also offer a plan where you pay for service for one month or pay for the amount of gigabytes you plan to use on a pay as you go plan (like the prepaid cell phone plans); however, you pay the full price for the MiFi (which is still cheaper than cell phones are with pay as you go). I am under contract with my MiFi as I use it at least weekly when I'm out and about in town as I carry an iPad rather than my laptop. My mother is actually using the old Jetpack on a pay as you go plan as she only travels a couple of times per year and doesn't usually take her iPad with her when she goes out in town. The other cell phone carriers also have MiFi's, but the only reason I went with Verizon was better national and international coverage, and their monthly plan provides more gigabytes per month at less price than do the other carriers. I hope this helps as I don't want to steer you wrong. I don't order cell phone plans or MiFi plans over the internet, but I go into the provider's store. I do check their websites to see if they have a device that I'm interested in knowing more about, but buy in person.

As I know it works with 3g but I never used it and I don't know how the quality of this work. In common, I satisfy this device. I use it almost two months.

with c6603 you will not get 3g and not even dream about LTE. im in NW florida and i tried at&t, tmobile and net10. all i got is 2g (edge) after change APN set many times, nothing... probably somewhere in the world yes but not in US. in my experience

I believe I've read that the 3G comes with 2 years of free Verizon with a 100MB/month limit before additional charges. Other than a little lite text-only email it seems like it would be pretty easy to blow thru that limit. Suggestions I've seen is to get the wifi model and tether it to a smart phone. Don't know about upgrades but I doubt it.

Who is your major Cell phone provider in your area? Where I live Verizon has the best coverage and then AT&T is second. But this phone is a CDMA phone and only uses the Verizon network. Do some research before you jump into this device. I'm hearing that Verizon is trying to phase out the CDMA technology in favor of LTE. Just do a google search of "CDMA Verizon" for further details.

It is working in my country, where we have only 3G network. But I am not sure about vice versa (3G to 4G network)

I do not have a 3G plan with Verizon, which is my provider. I have only a basic service for my wife and I (each of us has one of the Brigade featurephones) which provides plenty of "air time" for phone calls, and several hundred texts per month. I don't have a "data" plan that involves the internet like a "smartphone" does. The phone does display signal strength bars for 3G as provided by Verizon, but I don't think I actually use it.

Just in case you are unaware, the mention of 3G is for use with USB 3G sticks. Through verizon or Virgin Mobile, for example, both offer USB sticks to be used with laptops etc. for a monthly fee. You would then attach your monthly charged 3G USB stick, to the Alfa R36, to broadcast that 3G service wirelessly to multiple devices. As far as 4G goes, I would think that it would work for this, but have nothing to support my guess. I would assume as long as the USB 4G device was supported, there would be no issues. But again, just a guess, as I don't even have 4G service available in my area.

Will support both Verizon and AT&T; LTE. However, you must be located where you can get some LTE signal before it can be amplified. Also, the device will not improve your 3G signal strength. My area uses Verizon LTE band 14, and I was able to increase from -102 dBm 1 asu to -81 dBm 59 asu. I could not adjust the amplifier to full gain because the inside and outside antennas aren't far enough apart, but it made a huge difference nonetheless.

From my experience, yes. I have two, installed at two different locations. The one does only 3G but the other one (6 months newer) boosts both 3G and LTE. I am not sure if it's about the original signal strength or what determines if it's 3G or LTE but both seem to boost data as well. Note this is signal strength booster so will not boost actual speeds.

I purchased mine from goredpocket mobile. It is the best 4G mifi hotspot I have owned. See my review. It uses Tmobile 4G. I connect to the internet using this with my phone and laptop going to work on the train. Before this I had the Sprint 2200, the Straight Talk Hotspot and I returned all of them and found this one! Working great for me!

Well, all i can say is i have 4g wifi and it works super! I have 2 other tablets and of all three this is my favorite! I hope you can find the answer you are looking for... Goodluck!

It should Joyce. The thing that will matter is if your device has an external antenna port, and then the type of plug it takes. For me, it was a matter of the adaptor cable that came with the MiFi hotspot device. It was the correct "plug" type on the end to match what the adaptor cable took which changes it to what the mifi device needed. I now have the 4G broadband router from Vzn and had to buy an adapter to go from FME type plug (what the antenna has) to RMA (mini-coax) which is what the router takes. Hope that helped and didn't confuse the situation more for you ;)
