I couldn't get mine to connect. Tried to return it to seller, he wouldn't take it back. I assumed everything I purchased through Amazon was guaranteed. Guess not. I'm very unhappy and out $180.

I'm not sure, based on your question, that you understand how this product works. This product provided cell phone service in a location that does not get enough signal to be useful. It then back-hauls the calls over an internet connection. I'm not sure what the purpose of hooking this up to a 4g hotspot would be, since, if you already have an internet connection (required for this to function), there would be no point to having a 4g hotspot active, a sfar as I can see.

I don think they are 4g compatible. Is it just the 4g signal that didnt improve. did you get better cell signal?

Verizon said this was not eligible to be connected through them. I had to return it. I purchased one directly from them for only $49.

It should be a 3G spot, the Micro goes in the far right slot. Push until it sets itself into the device.

Yes you can. I have had Consumer Cellular for almost a year and have used several different phones with them. I currently have the LG Nitro and have been well pleased with the compatibility. I get 4g data coverage and so far the performance has exceeded my expectations. I have not tried using this phone as a hotspot hub, so I can't speak to that feature. Multimedia texting seems to work well.

You need a mobile access point. Either you convert your smart phone to a hot spot or you get a wireless adapter from your cell phone provider. Either option, will cost you extra money on your cell phone bill.

There is two prepaid companies that you can connect it to, one is PAGE PLUS and the other one is straight talk because is a 3g phone and a CDMA phone this is not a GSM phone it doesn't use sim card. you can look for both companies in Google they have very good prepaid plans and a very good signal because they work with the Verizon towers.

Go to the Virgin Mobile site. At the top, on the right, click the RED "Activate" link. Follow the directions. I tried to go thru the process in order to instruct you more clearly, but had to stop at the zip code field. It isn't too complicated. Hope you got it done. :)

Hello Joseph, I am sorry, but I am not familiar with the Photon 4G Mobile hot spot. I wish I could help you. Thanks, Tom

It can serve as a wifi hot spot. Any device with wireless apater or wifi capability should be able to connect to this device.

You need a SIM card to activate it if you have a already have a SIM card you can go online and login to your Verizon account if you already have one and activate it. You can also just call from you Verizon phone *611 or just go to the store for them to activate it and if you don't have a SIM card they will give you one . Hope this helps if you have a 4G LTE phone with a normal SIM card you can put that in it and will work also.

I use it with a Verizon Samsung S4 with Usb tether. However the wireless hotspot option with 4g is much faster alone than with the Mofi. they've tried to help and told me it's not possible but Even after a firmware update it's still not as fast. If you only have 3g than try it. If not activate the hotspot on 4g you're better off in my opinion.

Its true. I am able to connect another device to the phone's hot spot but the other device can't access to the internet. Not sure what is the cause, I did not investigate further.

Sorry can,t help you there, I had to return it. Verizon had to have a data plan with that phone.

Since this phone uses Verizon 3G towers. Check the coverage for your zip code on the Verizon wireless website.

Oops! Sorry, I was mistaken. You can not use this in a hot spot that requires browser authentication. "this phone will not allow you to log on to subscription based public hotspots (such as T-Mobile) as it does not have a browser..." (part of a user opinion posted on CNET)

You can purchase it set up to connect via wifi or Verizon data package. My tab is wifi but when I'm somewhere where their is no free wifi (which is rare nowadays) I either tether it or connect via bluetooth to my Verizon phone and get connectred that way using my phone's data.
