I'd almost be better off buying an unlocked phone and paying a pre-paid carrier the five to fifteen dollar tethering fee on top of their monthly unlimited services fee

Usually, I get good service from AT&T, as I have multiple iPads and iPhones on a shared account.

battery life very good, better than another service that I had.

Two deducted from the original five for overpriced service, a fidgety touch screen, and the device being locked to one carrier.

If you're operating a mobile office, this is a solid device and decent service, but you will pay a premium price to use it

good service even in a remote area, didn't need a external antenna

If I can continue without future hiccups, I plan to dump the expensive cable internet service and run entirely on the hotspot.

These babies even work flawlessly in airports, where you usually pay $20 for substandard (at best) WiFi, or risk using an "open" free WiFi service.

AT&T might be a price gouger compared to more affordable service providers (e.g. check out Ting if you want to really save money)

Great service, this unit working right out the package as soon as I placed in the AT & T sim card
