So you can't just insert your sim card into this then plug it into a computer and get internet on the go? There are additional registrations to do?

correct, you have to register the internet and pay for Internet through Verizon. Back in the day when I could get an unlimited data plan for $20 a month it was a pretty good deal but with the direction they're going in it's a pretty big rip off now. Unfortunately I don't know of any alternatives for you. If you have an unlimited data plan on your phone a good computer guy can often sync your phones Bluetooth to your computer so that your computer will run off of your phones internet. that is what I did. Good luck.

No, not as an included option. However, WiFi cards or USB can easily be added. There are many on the market and while I do not have direct experience with them, some of them will be "Plug N Play" and can be installed as easy as plugging it into an external USB port. If you want one that is easy to install, I suggest you search "USB WiFi".

I have a local regular (mini?) sim card in there now, but it has slots for two sim cards. I'm also using a thumb drive that I load 'time' onto for my internet here in the Philippines. The thumb drive uses a sim card as well, it encases a micro sim card, which I have to insert into the cellphone to receive the load, so long story short, I guess it takes both. Hope that wasn't too confusing!

It requires a USB modem from a cellular provider to connect to the internet, you would need to have monthly service for the modem.

Hey guys with 3G what i know is that you have to take it to your network provider and they will subscribe the internet for you.

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

When I bought this, I thought it was ready for wifi but it's not. I'm thinking I need to purchase an airport card (extra $30). I can't get an answer on this. Sorry, not sure I helped.

No, it doesn't have a SIM card slot. It's intended to be used with USB 3G dongles like you use with laptops. I don't think you can tether it by USB to a phone, either, but that doesn't seem very useful anyway. If you have a 3G/4G phone, you should be able to use it as a hotspot without any other hardware.You can also connect it to a cable/DSL modem via Ethernet cable, plug your desktop into the Sapido, and have Wi-Fi for your other devices just like a regular Wi-Fi router, but with only one wired port.

HI,This is NOT a ipad where in you can insert a SIM. there is no slot for SIM card. when there is wifi options I did not feel the need of buying an Ipad with SIM card. There is wifi every where now.

It requires microSIM. After you put in the Sim card it will require activation from the service provider and you shiuld be good to go with same phone number and data.

You will need a SIM card that already has active internet service on it! You will also need to enter that SIM's network APN settings into the MIFI modem. (You can get the appropriate APN settings from the network company eg. AT&T;)

Yes you can. Just ask your internet provider for the instructions to set it up (don

from time to time it offers me the opportunity to connect to Verizon. I presume that indicates that there is a Verizon SIM card or equivalent inside the machine. But I only use it for surfing on wifi. I am too cheap to pay for a Verizon connection.

You don't need this device if you have access to WiFi. You don't need this device if your cell phone permits you to 'tether' other devices. In places where you have No WiFi, but where cell phone coverage, 3G/4G is available, and if your cell phone does not permit tethering, and if you have a device like a tablet or a laptop PC without a dongle, ....with which you want to access the internet, then this device is handy. It can serve multiple devices simultaneously. Of course, you need to install a sim chip with data service from the cell phone provider of your choice.

It requires a sim card and cellular service account - basically like a cell phone that coverts the cell signal to wifi that can be used by a pc with a wifi adaptor

If I remember right, it comes with the SIM card in a little sleeve, and there's directions for installing it and getting set up. Good luck.
