Sprint is ending the WiMax network soon. What can I do with this device after that?

I would recommend calling them or going through their site to order to ensure you get the device you need

I looked through my info and could not find anything . You could call a Sprint store . They might have the answer . Sorry I couldn't be more helpful .

As far as I can tell, the best use for this device is a paperweight. It did nothing to expand my wifi range.

I'm not familiar with that service. That said, if no special phones are required with the sprint service then this should work. One important thing to remember - if your sprint service uses a modem, router or ATA to pass signal you will need to add a battery backup to these devices or the alarm will not be able to call out in the event of a power outage

I don't think you can. When I got the phone, it said sprint on it. Other phone companies might not let you use it.

Ugh, I was afraid it was something like that. Either technical, or just SPRINT disallowing it so people don't abuse it and use it as their main modem. *sigh* Yes, for the price you would DEFINITELY think it would work. I haven't had any more luck, and I pretty much gave up.

This was a Sprint exclusive phone. Assuming you already have a Sprint account, they will be happy to activate it for you. Then they will try to sell you an iPhone.

I have a mobile Sprint USB Card with 4 LTE and it works wonderful. Since we did not have any internet, I like that I can use my interent USB port and plug my laptop 4LtE Sprint USB modem into back of machine and we have a strong internet signal in a large home. I did ask them to update before sending it to me and they did.

I'm not aware of Sprint's plans. You can buy this phone however and use it with Freedompop which gives you free phone, text and data (500MB Free/mo) which is what I did.

that your able to , if you can get a sim card for it, to use it on any network (sprint, att, verizon, etc) still working on getting it to work on sprint, but wifi works fine.

What carrier is q-link connected with...if sprint yes but it also has a place for a dim card so it might can be broke for your phone service

No, you won't be able to add 3G later. Your only option is to buy a small portable 3G or 4G device that you can carry with you and then setup a monthly service with Sprint or a similar company.

No, this is a GSM device, Sprint is a CDMA network. This will only work on AT&T;, T-Mobile, and other networks out there that are GSM. It will NOT work on Sprint, and Verizon Wireless.

I don't think it can work with wimax, it's a little bit different technology.

hello my friend. to tell you the truth, you will have to go to your local sprint dealer to ask that one. remember that all of these little wireless devices have a chip in them that are only on the frequency that the provider is dealing with. i use the virgin broadband system. you can use this through bestbuy, or activate it online at virgin mobile. it is soooo easy. no contract. i use the 6 month plan at $120.00 per month. i use this thing everywhere at 4g speed. it is great!!!! you can buy this box on amazon. well, good luck what ever you decide. walter at f411@live.com

Yes, you can just take it into your local sprint store and they activated it for you

The key here is that it ONLY works on WiMax 4G networks and NOT 4G LTE. You should use Sprint's coverage maps (at the top of their web site page) to show WiMax coverage. In Colorado Springs, a city of 300K people, WiMax is not available and Sprint shows this as "3G and more". In the Denver area, WiMax is available so I should either sell my unit to someone in Denver or just hold on to it for when I travel.
