I am in Saudi Arabia, and my unit works wherever I am, in a car, bus, hotel, etc. Like a cell phone, there must be a tower it can connect to! It uses the local 3G cell phone signal to make your wifi hotspot. I've been very impressed with it - it's performed much better than I expected. Battery life in constant use is almost 4 hours - I learned that one night by forgetting to plug it in. Standby time, according to the manual, is 100 hours. I bought an extra battery and trade them off. It's slow to charge by USB, faster if you can plug it in. Great unit! Hope this helps.

I am not sure how to answer your question... you certainly need a SIM card with data capacity that is activated for this to work. I am not sure what options you have in your region.

yes it does..theres an adapter..but if you have USB adapter for the cig lighter its better..and it will run all day..I use it daily for many hours at a time..often as much as 15hrs a day...but its on charger constantly

It depends in how good the signal is. If it's spotty, the battery won't last. You can get a charger for your car. It uses a regular mini USB cable.

Yes you do, the same network carrier for mobile phones.. You just need a SIM card and off you go.. Same APN settings as well

Sure, It will work under the premise that is unlocked. If it's a micro sim, it must have an adapter.

Just popping in a phone sim card in it will make it work like a phone.But to have mobile internet you will have to let the technicians at your mobile phone/internet company configure it.In my case i purchased a new sim card just for it.They needed to activate the service for me. If you are a little worried then check with them first before making your purchase. Mine works perfect and i have no regrets.

Yes, but I think it is the interface with Phone Power that makes it work. I've had mine for over a year and a half and have found the service to be very, very good and options better than I had with my former phone carrier.

If your plan allows it. Its not so much a function of the phone but if the carrier.

Yes, you will need a full-size SIM from AT&T; or T-Mobile (or one of their MVNOs).
1938475
No you need to have a VOIP service such as Ringcentral or Jive communications.

You'd need to buy a plan with Simple Mobile to activate the SIM. They have a number of options for service, all of which include SMS service.

This is an ordinary SIM card (Mini-SIM), so it won't work out of the box for mobile phones that need a Micro-SIM.

I would have to recommend that you contact the phone carrier in your area to see if the phone will work

You'll need a SIM cutter, but yes, it will work as long as your phone is unlocked and a GSM phone.

No or at least you would have to subscribe to cell carrier to hook into the internet to have it available at all times.

Yes.A Sim card is required.I have used T-Mobile, ATT,and Consumer Cellular with no problems.

IT Might, I Would Call Your Carrier AND Ask them. I am surprised they didn't include one

It takes a micro Sims card like the iPhone..so if you have already same carrier as phone ok ..if not will have to order new Sims
1916297
no it has to be a GSM phone, the kind that runs with a sim card. This is a cdma phone. Do a little research on these two bands and you will understand a little better. It took me awhile to figure it all out but havent went wrong yet!

It doesn't work off of carriers, it works off of your phone. Android based phones.
