Thanks Dave, I have an android unlocked phone. Are their normally instructions on how to top up?

No and yes; you can buy it and pay for minutes/data, but the minutes/data you purchase will be gone in 30 days. This might be good if you use everything in 30 days, but bad if you are expecting it to hold its value until you use everything.

It would be a good item yes, but keep in mind 150Mbps is pretty fast, as well as the fact that you are only going to go as fast as the network you're connected to. The fastest Internet speed currently available in the United States can get as high as 120Mbps from what I've seen. My speed is currently an average of 45Mbps and that is plenty fast. So again, all depends on what router you have, the network you're connected to and so on. Hope that helps.

No unless you have the 3G. It picks up on wi-fi. So if you have wi-fi in your home, then it will use that. Just like your laptop when it picks up neighbors networks. Going down the road you wont have internet because you wont have wi-fi. I think the specifications are around 6-10 hours. Im not sure, have not looked at them since I bought them. Just google and it will tell you.

Yes you need Internet from the phone company. The modem will provide Wi-Fi but without Internet service you won't get any connection to internet.

As long as the device sees and can connect it should not matter if its a cell router or home, speed and bandwidth would be a factor and be careful as streaming sucks up a ton of data and you may go over your plan.

Must have modem connected to Internet. Yes they will help you. With anything.

This is a Smart phone and we have AT&T.; You can access the Internet however we found it is not good for heavy internet usage. You will have to figure out how much you will be using the Internet to determine what size Data Plan that you need to buy. We were able to increase ours a few times to adjust to the one that fit our needs. There was no upgrade fee to increase the data MB so I suggest starting with the cheapest and you will get an idea of what you use after your first bill.

Check if they use GSM in there, then it most likely will, you might need to get a SIM card there though, unless your provider in the US/UK have partners there. Very likely it is cheaper to get a card there

No guarantees; it would depend on your distance from the router. Also, in order to set it up you'd probably need more details about the network than the hotel would provide to you - and that's assuming they would allow you to add a range extender in the first place. They would undoubtedly see it on their network. If they're a customer focused hotel and you are staying there for an extended amount of time, it would make sense to ask them because they should be willing to work with you.

Yes I do believe that will work for you.. It is supported by Century Link & should work just fine. Just sign in with your DSL user name & password, and you should be up & running right away.

Yes much of what everyone else said. 4 Bandwidths to cove all the world. Just travel to where you want to go. Get a local pay as you go SIM chip, and you will have a local number in that country. Pay for what ever minutes you need. Another option? Telestial.com has a SIM chip that allows you to use there chip for US local number and being in a selected country and having a local number there also. But for me in Wyoming, this SIM will not work in my area. But it did work in bigger cities that I did travel through. Good Luck!!!! Happy Traveling!!!!!

Good luck. You need to get it to receive your wifi signal. It's just a bit faster than no internet at all.

No. But you do have to have access to a network connection. So for example if you're staying in a hotel which has poor wi-fi (I just stayed in such a place recently) but there is a wired internet connection, you can simply hook this up and have your own wi-fi connection. If you're planning on using this for your home network, there would be the normal monthly internet connection fee through your cable or telephone or satellite TV company. But that monthly charge happens whether you're using this device or not.

I don't think so. The idea behind this is to buy a pre-paid SIM card with data/Internet access from a wireless carrier. When hooked into a usb port it will provide that computer access to the Internet over the wireless providers network.

N8 work perfect on T-Mobile's both in Europe and in US on 3G speed. In US if I remember you have to buy a Data pass and that should be OK for 24hr, you can purchase that from your phone web browser and money will be deducted from your prepaid account, that pass should cost aprox. $2 and that give you unlimited data for 24hr. If you need more after that time you have to purchase again.
