Q: Questioncan I hook this up to my Verizon phone plan? the hot spots they offer don't look good at all.

Asked 4 years ago by BeeBee.

• A:Answer Yes as long as it is unlocked. Also realize LTE b13 is not available on M1 but it is the main band used by Verizon. This means you probably won’t get the full speed potential.

Q: QuestionWould this device work on Sprint?

Asked 4 years ago by Smshnicj.

• A:Answer No, but since Sprint is part of T-Mobile, if you already have a line of mobile hotspot service (not phone service), or you can add a mobile hotspot line to your existing Sprint lines, contact Sprint customer service (BEFORE you buy this Netgear hotspot) and ask if they'll send you a SIM that can access T-Mobile's network.

Q: QuestionWill this fit a standard size SIM card?

Asked 4 years ago by MNac.

• A:Answer Not sure what your definition of “standard” sized is but I can tell you it takes a “micro SIM”. (Probably a bigger size than what your smartphone has if it’s newer than the IPhone 6). The 3 sizes I know of are: 1) The Throwback SIM (half the size of most USB drives today) 2)The Micro Sim (used in the IPhone 6 & older) 3) The Mini Micro SIM (currently used In most of today’s smartphones)
