As seen on the ThinkGeek web site (http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/cellphone/a150/). "Compatibility: Only works with 800 - 1600 MHz GSM network cell phones."In theory it should work with AT&T; and T-Mobile.

Yes, well, Verizon, Sprint, and US Cellular are CDMA networks, not GSM. Sorry.

hi, an update on my previous note...I used the locator/intercom feature with my husband. He answered his phone in the basement and it came through the intercom. Thanks for making me aware of this feature!

2.3.6 according to one I purchased about 6 months ago. Not an amazing phone but functional if you don't overtax it's abilities... I took one to Europe and snapped in a local sim and it worked fine. Here I only used it a partial month with a tracfone sim and did ok were there was coverage for that network. I just mailed it back to Europe as a gift for a friend there. Of a little annoyance to my mild ocd is apparently there is no way to turn off the indication bar icons for the extra sim slot, ie, even if you only have one sim installed you will see a pair of network signal indicators in the top status bar, the second will have a small red "x" if no sim... Not a big problem I suppose ;) 2.3.6 according to one I purchased about 6 months ago. Not an amazing phone but functional if you don't overtax it's abilities...

Hi Joe...as far as I can see, this is the only service that I could find. I'm mostly satisfied with this service, but sometimes the connection is spotty. (In fairness, I should say that where I'm located isn't the most convenient for cell reception.) Thanks.

It didn't work with my verizon iPhone. :/ So Net10 maybe only deals w/AT&T.; It definitely didn't work w/my verizon phone.

It doesnt work on 3G network for DIGITEL, at least it is my experience, I look for the specs and says that work on 900 mhz for 3G (digitel), and after using digitel only works on EDGE (too slow).

Make sure your data is there on. I like this phone, got it for my mom 6months ago and she loves it. But every now and than I notice the internet stopped working and when I check , its had the data off. It'll work on WiFi if your in a WiFi area.

I did that today. My phone is active right now WiFi only. I received two free texts from Verizon, so I know the phone is working. I also bought a 15 minute card, but didn't activate it. I set up an account at MyVerizon. They didn't ask for any money.

Same question as Kevin. When and how do you enter your VM code to retrieve your messages using another phone? When you call your own cell phone number you can leave a message but that is the extent of it. My cell phone was on when I tried. Should it be off??

I'm sorry Chris B. I'm pretty much a moron when it comes to the working of a cell phone. :( That was a gift I purchased for someone, did you sign up for an account to get minutes? Like it works when he's at home for internet but cuz he doesn't have the minutes right now, it doesn't work if he leaves.. sorry that probably doesn't help much but it's all I got.. ;)

I was never able to get it to work. I returned the first unit, and ordered a second, but it did not work either. I could locate the unit, but could not track it. I tried 2 different sim cards from 2 differernt providers with the same results. I tried for so long, I was not able to return the 2nd unit.

I just activated my cell about 2 weeks ago. I've had sometimes the message with authentication problems when it logs on, but I don't know if it's my router or what. Till now so far so good.!

My cell is not working. I tried three cell phone carriers and it did not work. The reading is "No Sim Card" but the sim card is there. The phone is unlock but still does not work. Guess I was not lucky. To late to return it. Just hope others having the same phone works. Samsung phone are the best in clarity. Good Luck.

Mine is the EMPORIA CLICK plus V32 3G. I'm using http://puretalkusa.com as service provider with no problems. Like another person said, I just put in the SIM and it worked fine. Don't know anything about programming it either.

I'm sorry but I don't know what a LTE network is. We have a Verizon phone and a thumb drive for the computer and it worked on both. I believe the book has all that info and the Wilson people could help you too.

I actually couldn't get it to work with my setup, so I returned it. I was looking to use it by linking to outside wifi at a place that I don't have my own internet service, and I needed to run it from my own service. If I remember right, you had to have software on your computer to use it with, and of course I didn't have that setup there. It may or may not work with cellular if they have an app. I would definitely check that out. Hope this helps a little bit, but I honestly don't know much about it.

Verizon says it doesn't work with Satellite internet connections, something about too much latency in the signal? I've used several of these devices on different high speed connections with no problems, but all connections were via cable internet. The device needs a lot of information both through the web and also a GPS fix from where you place the unit. Must be by a window and have a continuous GPS fix. Other than that, it's a great device! Allows full bars on your phone where there were no bars before!
