Well when I got mine I wanted it to be a straight talk phone and I think I should have got it as a at&t; go phone but I didn't and it has a bunch of weird stuff that went along with it but mine won't comment to regular data usage and as for WiFi no I am pretty for sure it won't because I have WiFi at home and it won't connect... sorry I know it sucks

HI everyone,I bought the phone for the same reason as Lili and bought a 50 dollar prepaid card that is now activated. I am having no luck connecting to the Web so far- it says http://home.web2go.com is not available and to check my settings, then it says No Network connection... tres frustrating. I tried the Wifi on and off, same with the data pack. Help please if someone can...

Yes, you have wifi on the watch, you need a sim card before you can try to see if it will do the hotspot itself, but it works better than my phone at scanning for hot spots. As for Battery back up? I had no idea it had that

I did not try to use it as a hotspot. I suppose if you had an externally powered USB hub, you could turn it on with the computer then turn the computer off. I used it in Kuwait and had to dial in with PW for my SIM to use it.

No. I tested it domestically with T-Mobil and AT&T before I traveled. It worked absolutely great with T-Mobil (4G) but it would not even recognize the AT&T cells in my area. This was confirmed in discussion with the vendor who told me that it was optimized for T-Mobil and it would work well with SOME AT&T cells, but not others. I exchanged it for a ZTE MF65 (3G), which I did test successfully on both AT&T and T-Mobil, and which I will be taking abroad shortly. I also have used a ZTE MF60 (also 3G) abroad with great success. Be careful. What you will need to do with any hot spot when you get to wherever you are going, after you get a SIM card for the local carrier, is to set it up with the proper APN and, if required, network ID, password or PIN. Failure to properly configure a hot spot causes many people to report that the hot spot won't work.

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.

I am not sure I understand your question. Can it be setup as a wifi hotspot? Or can it connect to wifi hotspots? Yes, it can pick up any wifi. As far as setting it up AS A hotspot, I believe it can. I have had a Galaxy Note 1, 2, 3 and the S4 phones, Galaxy Note 3 7" and 10" tablets. I have seen the hotspot setup on all of them. I personally have not used that function.

No, it makes a Wi-Fi hot spot from a cell phone USB modem. You would need service with a wireless carrier and a USB modem to plug into it. I have a Verizon Wireless and an LG VL600 USB modem, it does work great, battery life is a little short, but it works fine to provide Wi-Fi for my tablet and laptop at the same time.

Not sure why others said it works great, since it does not have WiFi. ONLY smartphones offer Wifi so that the sleazebag service providers can force you to pay for a data plan. I'm amazed it's even legal.

I guess I'm a TECH-NO guy. I don't know what Hot Spot is. I have it set up wireless though.

mine was set up for that but ended up canceling just find a network for login or use you phone to create a hot spot and save the money.d

No, you have to have an internet plugin for this item. It doesn't function like a wifi hotspot.

Hot spot is the same as Wi-FI so yes it is hot spot capable, unless you are no where near a wireless connection than you would have to buy a hot spot connector from your wireless dealer. I hope this helps.
