Can someone walk me through how this works?? Is there contracts involved? Do you connect it with you're at&amp;t phone plan???

You have to have an active SIM in order for this to work. You either need to get a SIM specifically for this device (pre or post-paid SIM) or take the SIM out of your current device, assuming you have a data plan on your current device) and plug it into the Sierra Wireless device. Keep in mind that there are now 3 different size SIMs that AT&T supports (full-size, mini, nano) and I think this device uses the full-size SIM. If your phone uses a mini or nano it won't fit in the Sierra Wireless device. As far as contracts, pre-paid doesn't use contracts but I'm not sure if there's a contract provision if you have to activate a new Post-paid SIM. Best to check with your local AT&T store.

There is no contract. It will come with instructions on how to set it up. You set it up in by going to an ATT website and then following the instructions. You need to plug it in to the wall and then connect it to your dsl modem or other internet device. So, of course, you need to have internet connectivity at your residence or wherever you are setting this up. The ATT microcell then connects to the internet via this set-up procedure. Once it has done that, it will function in your house as a mini cell tower. It's not a signal booster, it functions exactly like a cell tower in your house. That's it. There's no contract or per-month cost. You just buy the unit. There is no contract. It will come with instructions on how to set it up.

You have to buy a plan. I've never been able to get this product to work. Even after paying. Don't buy it! My friend has a Verizon brand hotspot that actually works...perhaps look into those...

Hi Eugene. You made me curious if my phone will work on AT&T; 4G Network, so I bought an AT&T; prepaid simcard with a logo of 4G LTE. I put it in and I load $40 with unlimited call and text and 200MB of data. After that I called AT&T; to activate my internet and they did. I was so happy that I was able to go to any website but only to the speed of H or H+. H+ is faster that 3G but one step down to 4G/LTE. Hope this is helpful.

It didn't work well, until I took it to AT&T; and got a sim card. It is a phone as well as a tablet. You can go on internet with it or use WIFI. I had to convince them it was a phone too They tried to set it up as a tablet and it didn't work. . Finally, one guy knew it was a phone and he set it upas a phone and it works fine. I have the go phone program which is without contract.

This is no contract pay as you go. They do have plans if you want a package of services like voice, text and data, or you can just pay for what you use. This service is actually a reseller of network T-Mobile so be sure that the T-Mobile network has coverage where you plan to use you phone with this SIM

I was an ATT subscriber already so I just changed the sim card and the bill was the same on a family plasn.. If Im not mistaken, you can create an account and pre-pay with a credit card for a period of time if youre not an ATT customer already.

I was able to get a phone plan from AT&T with no data plan. But that was many years ago. I don't know what the carriers would demand now. Good luck! Dave H.

I had a&t; I don't remember but it seems like it worked with it. Im in the process of seiling mine right now, I went to puretalkusa, no contract. you can youtube about the ph. that's how I do my search. get the info from people. It is a smartphone.. Let me tell you another reason why Im not keeping mine. I never could get it o go o the internet or send and receive picturing messages. I was told it would, but even my provider couldn't not get it to... So I tried it with puretalkusa they told me, this phone wont do it, they even tried.

My wife and I spent a great deal of time studying the instructions and several hours setting the unit up. It did not work for me. Sent it back. Installed an ATT Microtel. Problem over. Good luck! Cannot recommend this product.

Think of this as more of "ready to be unlocked" long explanation. No contract required or needed, just need a proper sim card to connect. but will only function and provision with AT&T;'s system unless you begin risky task of modifying firmware files and basebands. Risky because you can end up with a expensive paper weight if done wrongly. That being said however, you are buying the phone outright and completely so whoever you in the end use the device with, if something happens or you just wish to upgrade at watever time, u can toss the phone(recycle it prefably) or hand the phone down to a child or whenever else without worry of contract completion.

Its never paid upfront :( the only option is to find one that is both wifi+at&t (Or another carrier) and then pay the monthly fee.

So...You didn't get the sim from AT&T;?As far as I know, that sim only has info pertaining to the service provider.It contains no info regarding the phone itself.I've also had my same card in three different phones, with no probs.I'm not sure I'd be OK trying to cut my card, as I've heard things about this also.Anyone had any luck getting a new (free) card, regular or micro?

I just popped in my SIM card and was good to go. I have AT&T as well. If you have a MicroSIM you should be golden.
