QuestionDo these portable wifi hotspots, for example this boost one, do they work with iPhones? If I wanted to put it in my car to have wifi instead of using all my phones data? I'm unsure of if this hotspot is compatible with iPhones.
Asked 8 years ago by Loudmuusic.
- Answer Yes, so far I've had no problems with any phone I've hooked up to it. It stays charged for a while IF you let it charge up fully. But I wouldn't recommend buying less than 10 bucks for top up. Unless you don't use as much data. But on the other hand if you're short on cash you can get 1 gig of data for 5 bucks.

QuestionNeed to know if this device is good for gamers, I play mostly Steam games and I have a rather large library and play online a lot so has any one used this thing for gaming or live streaming?
Asked 8 years ago by Vorthulus.
- Answer First, this runs off LTE so you're paying for the amount of data you use. So it all depends if you want to keep on paying for LTE usage instead of using your home/office wifi. Speedwise, it all depends on the game. It's better for simulation games like starcraft and such. Not so good with FPS games where that microsecond drop in speed will be life and death. Forget about live streaming, will use too much data and will be slow.

QuestionIf it's under the hot spot has a sprint SIM card can I hook it up to my boost phOne
Asked 8 years ago by Holden.
- Answer Boost is Sprint's prepaid company. Once activated, you can hook up to 10 devices to this box. All you need is the password to gain access; so I suggest you not be too polite with your friends by giving them the password or they could possibly eat up all your data. Once you turn on the device, you can gain access on your Boost phone by clicking for access & entering the password.

Questiondo it come with the cable to connect to your computer
Asked 8 years ago by gnotes.
- Answer It comes with a charging cable for it. Do you mean a cable to share the internet connection that way? It's a wifi hotspot so doubt it works that way you can likely only connect via WiFi.
