does this product add cost to my monthly bill

No it does not. Unless you do not have unlimited talk on your cell (an older plan) and would like to have unlimited with microcell from home, there is a small charge. Otherwise no monthly charges. I have had mine for over 5 years and it works great. I would check the price from AT&T; directly if they are your carrier.

The cost to use the microcell is free, however it uses your plans minutes and text messages (if you don't have unlimited minutes/ texts). You can pay a little extra to have unlimited microcell calls (that don't detract from your plans minutes), but when you call or go online to activate that feature you have to deliberately put it on... They don't automatically put it on for you.

Not if you are just using it to give you a stronger signal. You still have to stay within your plan minutes. AT&T; will sell you an unlimited plan for an additional $19.99 but that is not required. I bought a new Microcell from a third party a few months ago and installed following the supplied directions and it has worked great. No additional fees on my bill. The Microcell actually routes the calls through your internet connection so the cell capacity isn't even used. So AT&T; wins, too. They free up cell capacity. Seems like they should pay us. :)

Even though this device is connected to your network, and is using the outbound connection provided by your ISP that you're paying for -- AT&T; will charge you for the data that you use from your cell phone that goes through the microcell if you're not using WiFi.

No... there is no additional charge above the Microcell tower itself. As I said in a previous review, it's really a great little gizmo that we used quite successfully for a couple of years... really did a great job of boosting our cellphone signals here on our property until, that is, we decided to move over to a satellite internet provider (we live out in the boonies). Hughesnet, specifically, but since the AT&T; Microcell tower and the Hughesnet disc were running over the same internet connection and fought for dominance - neither sere working correctly. Conclusion: The AT&T; microcell is a great product, just not when used in conjunction with a satellite form of internet service. Hope that helps.

It will be on your bill as that phone. I don't think you can add it to your contract because you did not get it through at&t.; Mine just shows up on my bill as the phone and I pay for the extras I use through them.

There was not a monthly fee when I purchased this in 2011. I recall the minutes being expensive, but when you are overseas, it's to be expected. When minutes got low it prompted me to buy more in $5.00 increments, which was a good feature.

You still need to sync with the software periodically (at least once every 2 weeks). The device seems designed to "fill up" to make you use the software and pay the monthly fee.

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.

There's a monthly charge. The hotspot tracks your usage for you and tells you how many days are left in your billing cycle so it's easy to keep from running over your limit.

No, you will own the receiver. DirectTV will charge you $5/month for usage on top of your monthly bill

No monthly billing required, however, if you don't use the minutes in 30days you must add minutes and time monthly. The triple minutes work for life (I have had mine for over year and am up to over 450 minutes. You get triple minutes but not triple days. Other than than that all is good. I select the $20.00 offering as you get 90 days and that works for me. Not a big minute user.good luck,Jim Paskell

You had to have ordered a free trial on a different website if you have monthly payments coming out. This is Amazon. You are only charged for what you buy on here.

Yes, however it's not a contract agreement. Basically you pay for it when you want to use it, by the month. It's $60 a month.

Yes, about $9 per month. Looked online and it seems these can be controlled by some other systems to avoid the cost but I have not had time to research it. Good product but the other issue I have is they charge another $9 for each additional house you add instead of giving you a break at a reduced rate. Looking to add third house so may have to figure out how to change to one of the non-fee Z-Wave services.

There is a subscription in order to get the service. They have different packages, but the common one is $14.99 per month.

I do not have monthly bill, this is a prepaid phone. I like the phone, it is small and practical for my needs.

Careful. They only gave me 60 days, not the advertised 90 and you need to end the subscription if you do not want to be charged the $10/month after 60 days. Also I expect they will add taxes and fees on top of that without letting you know how much they are in advance. Thats what they do with other charges.

Yes but you can avoid a monthly bill by paying up front and I believe you get a discount for paying all at one time.

I'm not sure, and wouldn't want to lead you wrong. I know this, I save about $30.00 a month on our electric bill. This unit works great. Household of 2.
