Do I need to order Verizon internet service for this device to work? I just want a WiFi hotspot

Yes. It wi8l probably cost you $30-40 per month depending on your plan. It is added like another phone. If you just need a hotspot, most smartphones can double as a hotspot without this device.

Yes, for anything 3G/4G LTE, etc, you always have to have a contract for service through a carrier such as Verizon in this case. To my knowledge there are no contract free WiFi devices, other than possibly a pre-paid device from cricket, etc.

Yes, you can use this with Verizon or any other service provider to connect to the internet via WiFi. However, for 4G connection capability you would have to use AT&T; wireless.

I don't know about Verizon, if they provide home based wifi it should, but something I'm discovering about this tablet is that it doesn't have great range with wifi. You need to be fairly close to the router.

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.

You need internet service and a router that broadcasts W-Fi (almost all routers do that now anyway). You do not need wireless service as in wireless phone service.

No Verizon plan. I suspect most users do not have the plan. Just use it as a web surfer.

Depends on what your asking. If you can connect it straight to Verizon, like adding it onto your plan, I don't know. If your asking about general connection and if its possible, then yes. I use my hotspot to connect. I was going to purchase a jetpack from the Verizon store to be able to carry around a portable wifi, but where I needed to use it it wasn't going to get service. Hope that helps.

No, it won't work. You need to have a physical Ethernet wired connection to your internet source. I suspect your hotspot doesn't have that capability. You need to have a 24/7 broadband or DSL connection.

This device is providing the WiFi service. You need an internet connection such as the one provided by AT&T.

if verizon is your phone service then NO - this only boost your wi fi signal - not your phone service

Yes. Our Verizon family plan has no internet. We use this as a basic phone for texting only.

I'm no longer with Verizon, but if memory serves me correctly it works with all Verizon plans. I was led to believe that it works off the cell tower in your area. The offer was sign up for the device, get it free with a $20 connection fee - which is why I even responded to this item for sale - why buy it if you can go to a Verizon store & get it free?

Yes but you would need a 4G LTE Internet account and device with Verizon. This device is a 3G modem. Verizon will not add a new 3G modem. Unless you have an existing 3G internet account this device will not help you. Hope this helps.

yeah. the wifi will work on mine and it's not active any longer. the only thing is I can't place calls or use 3g anymore. other than that its the same as it ever was. if the phone didn't have issues I would still be using it for internet.
