Why do you need this device if you already have hotspot service on your iPhone?

You don't. I would not buy anything from them. Terrible customer service and outdated technology.

It's cheaper to have a data card than using a hot-spot. I used it back in 2007 before phone hot-spots were around

You dont need it if you already have hot spot on you phone.the devive is for those that are using a stick modem from a phone carrier. And the phs300 is only good for 3g, not 4g whichcost more using 3g.hope this helpsdp

No. You need a WiFi adapter. iPhone uses a proprietary Bluetooth technology that requires a license and no one wants to pay that.

Yes, but you should use the wireless USB coming with the device and download the App in your iPhone.

I've never used my device for tethering, but it definitely can be used as a mobile hotspot.

No it makes a signal you connect to with your phone it is basically it's own hotspot

it needs a wifi connection to the phone. it acts as it's own router though, so nothing extra is needed. I love this thing I use it to run wires in the roof.

Nichole, This is device is WiFi Booster. It makes your internet signal stronger thus expanding the area of coverage. This device has nothing to do with your wireless or mobile service (i.e. voice calls). The main purpose of this device is to increase your internet signal so you can use it throughout your house or apartment. For instance, if you use your mobile phone to access the internet and you have a weak internet signal as a result of a distance then this device is for you since it will increase the distance of your in home internet coverage. Also, if you use your verizon service to make calls through the internet then the answer is yes, it should expand your area of coverage and consequently boost you verizon signal, but that's only if you use your phone to make calls over the internet. This device is only to boost internet signal on your mobile device (e.g. mobile phone, tablet, notebook, etc.) and not the regular phone signal.

Nope, but as another individual stated, if you have the resources you can convert your cell phone into a hotspot to get the connectivity you want. Actually had to do this when I moved -- the connectivity in the hotel was garbage and wasn't secured. Using my cell worked out well, but cost me a bit more per month.

Mine has a setting for hot spot. Under System Settings I go to Network and Connections. Under Connectivity Services is Mobile Hotspot. A Verizon store told me they can add Mobile Hotspot for additional charge if I want it. Because my home gets so little signal I haven't tried the Mobile Hotspot to see if and how it works.

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.

It is irrelevant which service you use, it boost the signals the phone receives, your location would determine if your service is in the area.

You would need one if you wanted to use the Internet, email, etc. The phone would probably be very slow though.

Two options:- Either it becomes a wifi hotspots (Direct Wifi) which indeed would not let use browse the web.- Or, and that's the intention, it joins your existing wifi network and your devices (mac, iPhone, etc...) can connect it on the local network and can still browse the web.In most case the direct wifi mode will only be used once to set it up. Connect to it and, through the app, configure it to join your wifi network.

Yes you can. You do not need to have the phone active with Virgin Mobile service to use WiFi

nothingI had it about 5 yrs ago when I didn't have an iPhone. Even back then I didn't feel it was useful. Now you definitely don't need it. Get a few baby appls and you're good to go.
