Can this phone act as a "hotspot" so other devices (laptop) can connect to it? thanks

When it works at all. Piece of junk. I did try to get it to work many times, and the phone itself was made like junk. NOT WORTH IT....!

yes my wife traveled to another country, used it with a LOCAL SIM card for 2 weeks to access internet with her laptop, it worked really well.

Yes. Think of it as an Android Phone. -Can you connect your Android phone to a wireless network? And can you download Android apps from the marketplace?Those are the two skills you need to make this work.

Yes, this phone is a Wifi Enabled Phone, I'm not sure if it would work if you are just using it as a Wifi for Internet usage.

Not directly. This connects to a laptop via a USB port. Depending on the laptop, the laptop may be able to throw a signal, but the device itself only provides service to the laptop connected via USB. If you're looking for something that gets a cellular data signal and then allows other devices connect to it via WiFi, that is a "Mobile HotSpot" or "MiFi". But with all of these items, be aware of the data fees. It's very easy to run up usage without realizing how quickly the meter is running.

Sure you can use it as Go Phone. I've done that before. Just forget about internet access other than wifi.

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.

Am not sure what you mean by hotspot but, you just need to go to settings and set it up to automatically pick up any available wifi. Hope this answers you question.

It does work as a Wi-Fi hotspot if you download one of several Wi-Fi hotspot apps. At least one of the apps is free. Another user has posted a YouTube video with the instructions.

Yes you can. I have had Consumer Cellular for almost a year and have used several different phones with them. I currently have the LG Nitro and have been well pleased with the compatibility. I get 4g data coverage and so far the performance has exceeded my expectations. I have not tried using this phone as a hotspot hub, so I can't speak to that feature. Multimedia texting seems to work well.

Amazon needs to update that photo of the bottom of the unit showing the ports. It is misleading people in thinking it can be used as a cellular device. The picture shows there is a socket for a sim card which there is NOT.There is no sim card support for this device so connecting directly to a cellular network is not possible. However, it does have a micro usb port, and wireless. If your 3g services support tethering devices to your phone it should work that way without a problem.

Hello Cesar, The adapter can be used to connect to a hotspot but cannot on its own function as a wireless hotspot. Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support 856-216-8222 support@mediabridgeproducts.com

Yes, if by that you mean you can use it to connect to your phones' hot spot. It is only a receiver tho so you wouldn't be able to use it to turn your pc into a hot spot.

Yes it can connect to hotspots. The speed is good enough. I'm currently using it with pay as you go, SIMPLE MOBILE.

Try using connectify and setup your own hotspot off of your computer. This will allow other computers to connect to your hotspot.

Mine has a setting for hot spot. Under System Settings I go to Network and Connections. Under Connectivity Services is Mobile Hotspot. A Verizon store told me they can add Mobile Hotspot for additional charge if I want it. Because my home gets so little signal I haven't tried the Mobile Hotspot to see if and how it works.

Yes, it can function in either access point or client mode. You would just keep it in access point mode (factory default) and configure the SSID and key to be the same as your other device.
