Novatel MiFi 2 4G LTE 5792 Hotspot (Unlocked)

Works Awesomely. I did check the frequencies prior to buying to ensure it would work on the cell network i needed it for. It freeze locks on occation like once per week where i have to pull out the battery and then reboot it but that is not much of a complaint seeing how my phone used to do the same thing a lot more frequently :) Overall I am Pleased. I never had a bad Novatel Wireless device. They have always been reliable.

Locked to AT&T. Will not accept any other sim. AT&T said they would not unlock but would offer service. Waste of money. DO NOT PURCHASE! Unless your AT&T. False advertising here for sure.

It has helped me and rescue me when there is no internet and I need to send any whatsapp message or email urgently. However, I do not recommend to rely on this product for working overseas because the audio connection in conferences when connected to it is not very good. If you have any idea how to resolve this...then I guess I can change the way I perceive the product. I bought a SIM CARD and it is 4G... Thank you!

Don’t like it

I purchased this device to use it in Costa Rica. It worked twice fine and on the third usage it locked itself. I took it to the local phone service provider and they confirmed that the SIM card was working well, that the device had locked perhaps due to faulty software. I contacted Novatel U.S. on Oct. 5th., they acknowledge my request for help and that is the last I heard of them. So, just to be sure, I purchased another "unlocked" Novatel MiFi 2 4G LTE 5792 from Amazon. This one worked, but it does not connect to Internet. If you are from overseas and/or intend to use this device internationally, think twice. O.K., after much research, trial and error and consultation here and there, we managed to connect this device to Internet. Here is some advice: 1. Do not change the Login Admin password, for if you fail three times, the device locks. 2. To connect internationally to Internet, go to Settings: Network Settings: APN and change the configuration from ATT to the local network. That did it for us.

I activated this on AT&T and it seemed to work rather well. We traveled with it though several states and as I expected it the reception was spotty in some areas, but even in the middle of nowhere we were able to get access in most places. Initially I got the 2GB pay as you go and the only drawback was that when you monitor your usage it show you are using some of your allowance and then all of a sudden you check and you are completely out. Not sure if that is a problem with AT&T or this unit, but rather annoying. We did stream a lot of video, but if I keep checking it the unit should be able to give me accurate usage data. It was not.

The device was NOT unlocked as claimed. I had to unlock it, which is possible but complicated and required an AT&T SIM card. Contacting the seller was useless; their tech support seems aimed at getting rid of the customer as soon as possible. If yours is locked, search for "mifi liberate unlock advanced". Find the link to AT&T forums with the post from dquackie dated Jun 10, 2016 11:33:48 AM Once unlocked, the device worked fine with my T-Mobile SIM as well as with SIMs from European carriers.

I use this modem at our little Chapel to stream our services on Facebook...works great..Quick connect to my tablet..I would buy from this seller again
