This is a great little Hotspot for back up or camping. Works on Verizon 4 G network. Make sure you take a screen shot of your SIM card before you try and activate it. You * must * have a Verizon Data plan for this to work. When you internet fails this works perfect. 5 star all the way.

glad I could get another one to replace since we are on an old unlimited plan.

According to Verizon this Is an older version. But it comes with an antenna and you are able to connect 20 others to your Mifi. It is small and compact.

I suggest caution if you are considering this device. I belatedly checked Verizon website. Of five stars, this device gets 3 from purchasers who directly worked with Verizon. Verizon itself is now heavily automated. Unlikely to receive any support. I owned an early version of this (10 years ago) and it worked well. That's the only reason I went back. Strongly suggest checking availability on Verizon's site. This device is out-of-stock. It's a write-off for me.

We planned a cross country trip through the mid west and wanted a device to keep us connected. I read a lot of reviews stating that Verizon had the best coverage. That is not true. Half of the time this device did not work and it could not get a signal. The sim card was replaced. I worked with Verizon tech support and it just would not pick a signal. It was useless. Do not buy it. Signals are hard to get in the mountains, but this device would not get on in an area where there several cell towers.I am updating this because the seller after reading my review refunded the full purchase price event though it was out of warranty. Great seller. I still would not buy this item but would do business with this seller again.

I've had one of these for over 5 years. My old one still works and got me through 5 yrs of college. My old one 'got a cracked screen' a couple years ago but I just stuck a screen saver film over it and kept it moving. My fault for the cracked screen. -don't ask. I'm actually surprised it didn't crack soon with what it's been through. Lol! My old one 'took a fall' a couple months ago and the back came off and one of the tabs that holds the back on broke off so I just taped the back on to keep the battery from falling out and it still worked. The screen had become very hard to see through the scratches on the screen saver and the cracked glass but if I just pushed hard on the touch screen everything still worked fine. I went to a home wifi, finally, but saw this on Amazon and thought, "Ya know, it's a tough little cookie. Wouldn't hurt to have another one for back up. It has 2.5 ghz and 5 ghz options - and that's become rare, and will get rarer. So, yeah, definetly recommend. It's well worth the money and has more than paid for itself many times over. I think I paid $199.00 for the first one I bought directly from Verizon. -And it didn't even come with the antennas and other accessories this one did! I HIGHLY recommend this unit.

You better keep up with the original charger and cord because it does not charge well with other chargers.

These Mifi 8800L is the best thing since sliced bread. I travel all the time, so work from various locations and this little baby takes care of all my internet connection needs. It is so much faster than my phone hotspot, for whatever reason.I have a Verizon phone, so it only took minutes to add it to my plan and I was up and running. (I took mine into a Verizon store to connect but you can probably connect online with a Verizon account)Since getting it about a week ago from Amazon, I have had zero down time from lack of connection and have been able to increase my productivity considerably. It always displays how many devices are connected to it (where it says Primary - 2, those are my 2 devices, and if I touch the screen, I can see which devices) and also has the option to allow a guest to connect (you set the password) or block a device from connecting. It shows you how much data you have used and how many days are left in your data cycle as well, so you can stay on top of your usage.I am 64 years old and not technically oriented, but this device is so user friendly, I really did not even need the instructions to start using it. Highly recommend including for other Senior Citizens!The device is small so it is easy to store and carry. The battery lasts all day and evening for me. It is so superior to using unknown hotel and public wifi, there is not even a comparison. Much, much safer.
