You don't have to get it. I've never purchased WiMax and don't know anyone who has.

For this type of item that doesn't apply because it is only wifi. It is unlocked.

You don't need a wireless carrier (i.e. Verizon, AT&T.; T-Mobile, etc.) if you only want to use the Wi-Fi. But if you choose to keep your device on a network at all times, not just when you can find a Wi-Fi network, you would need to pay their monthly fee for the data services.

No it is the means by which you have WiFi. You will simply need to connect it to a modem. This will "route" your internet service to be both wired and wireless.

Its not paid up front it costs a monthly fee. You can connect to wi fi at places that furnish it like business that offer it free. Otherwise you have to pay for it through Verizon or any others that offer the service you pay for.

No. You have to hook it up by its ethernet port to begin with, and then you can use either that or wireless in the future.

No, you will still need an Internet provider and wireless Internet service. This is intended to be used with an air card.

Sorry. No. I wanted to try that too. But no go. If you need wireless you need the next model up I think.

As long as you have Wi-Fi you do not need service mine connects to Wi-Fi at home or any free Wi-Fi If it is through a company with no Wi-Fi then you will need service

It's a wifi only device. So, assuming you have unlimited Internet at home or Starbucks. It's unlimited. If you for some reason have a data limit on your Internet usage, then I suppose you have an issue. Most people, it's unlimited and free.

No, you need to buy a GSM Sim from any of the Service Providers in your Country, PAY TO ACTIVATE THEIR DATA SERVICES, then enjoy Wifi services.

Yes, you are able to browse the internet from your laptop as long as the Seagate Wireless Plus is connected to an available WiFi network and you are connected to the Seagate Wireless Plus.

No. This is the modem only. You will need a router of some sort to have Wi-Fi.

Unfortunately, you need WiFi, no 3g or 4g or other type of cell carrier will do. For that, you'll need a much more expensive lenovo think pad x131e or newer model that already have the ability to connect to your carrier or at least a card slot to give you that ability.

You will need a 3G wireless service from one of the wireless service provider such as AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon

If you have good internet access, it would be the same as any other laptop device. Awesome!!!
