You can visit our online store to shop for mobile hotspot devices.
What do I need to use a mobile hotspot device?
Besides the mobile hotspot device, you also need:

Why would I want to use a mobile hotspot device instead of my smartphone or tablet's mobile hotspot feature or app?
These are reasons to consider using a mobile hotspot device instead of your smartphone or tablet:
- Battery life - A mobile hotspot device has its own battery so won't drain the battery on your smartphone or tablet.
- Flexibility - If you're sharing your network connection with others, you can leave the mobile hotspot device behind for them to continue using instead of your smartphone or tablet.
- Convenience - When you have a mobile hotspot device, you can use a phone that's not HD voice-capable at the same time you're using your mobile hotspot.
- Privacy - If your smartphone is being used as a mobile motspot you have to stay within 30 feet of the devices connected to it. But not if you're using a mobile hotspot device.
- Connect more devices - Most mobile hotspot devices allow you to connect 10-15 Wi-Fi devices, depending on the model.
