I'd like to know how you set up the prepaid service after you buy this Jetpack wireless router. Thanks!

I went to the Verizon store and they set it up for me. They gave me a new Sim card and created the account but I insisted that I would pay for the service only when I needed it rather than when they set it up. They also initially told me there would be an activation fee each time I used the service. Obviously that would be ridiculous and they read further and determined this was not the case. I'v esuccessfully used the device several times now only, adding funds only when I need to use it.

To activate service, please call 866-893-7723. This is a automated system to activate the sim card for the MiFi Devices.You will need the sim card number and a service zip code.You will then be assigned a number.Now you need to log in to the device from your computer. The password is on the back of the device.You will also need a credit or debit card to process the payment for service.You can use a prepaid card as well which you can buy from any prepaid card retailer.Good Luck!!

Is Verizon "unlimited" prepaid service for this device really "unlimited" or does it slow down after a few gigs?

You can set it up manually depending on the settings from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You may also secure or leave the network open for public usage. Here's an article that may help: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=83217d7598ad44d68d9cc60f1cea9887_Different_ways_in_setting_up_your_Linksys_wireless_router.xml&pid=80&respid=0&snid=3&dispid=0&cpage=search

Go to the "Settings"-"Wireless and networks"-"Wi-Fi settings", then you may set your wifi.

I did that today. My phone is active right now WiFi only. I received two free texts from Verizon, so I know the phone is working. I also bought a 15 minute card, but didn't activate it. I set up an account at MyVerizon. They didn't ask for any money.

It takes a little knowledge, but I am sure that you can set this up. You can always cal Netgear help for extra assistance. You will want to download Netgear Genie from their website and that program will solve many issues. I am happy with this product. It rarely goes down. I suggest that you reset it once a week (turn it off for fifteen seconds, then turn it on again) and keep up on the software updates. I keep Netflix on the faster Wifi. You have the option of 2 separate Wifi frequencies.

I do not know. But had wireless router hooked up, service of router worked fine, it was not a wireless/router service. i checked my same phone with a frequency counter, but range of counter went to 3 gigs so i dont know range. omly thing i can think of rite now is to refresh. or better is to disconnect power from modem/router for 1 minute, reconnect, and try again. good luck!

Mine was set up for prepaid when I got it. I got it to replace an identical (lost) phone that I used with a post pay plan. I am told the new one can be set up to be post-paid. But the prepaid plan has advantages, so I switched plans.

The title for this item states for "postpaid plans", so I'm thinking maybe it won't work for prepaid. I would contact the seller, because Verizon may not even know, unless you can give them the meid # of the phone you're wanting to set up. I have a Verizon account and am not on a "pay as you go", so I can't say for sure either.Thanks, Deb

I also have Verizon but am having no luck getting a connection to the internet. It shows as being connected to the WiFi connection but I can't get any internet pages to load.

you can set up an account via verizon for data or voice using a prepaid structure. you only pay for what you use during the billing cycle. NO Contract. Its verizon prepaid.

I purchased this phone from Amazon, and called TMobile Prepaid and convinced them to:1. Give me the $30 5G data/ 100 minute 'Walmart' plan2. Port my existing TMobile Prepaid number over to the new planI had to talk to a supervisor to do it, but after getting to that level, it took about 5 minutes to complete the whole thing--porting and all. So don't give up--you just need to persevere!

I could not get it to activate. YOu would be better to purchase a 29.00 phone from the company and use the card that way. You can also buy a phone at the airport but I would go ahead and prepurchase the phone that way you will know it works. good luck.

The unit has a SIM card slot and it is locked to a Verizon service or a Verizon reseller.More information is at http://www.zteusa.com/verizon-jetpacktm-890l.html

You can either purchase a prepaid plan from many of the providers such as T-Mobile or AT&T or if you prefer to use a more diverse one such as Tracfone or Net10 then you would have to go to their webpage and get the info from there or simply visit a local retailer that carries the company products/services/ how to use the minutes. when you first purchase a prepaid plan ( either from AT&T or T-mobile) you can use the starter kits ( you may have to ask about those for prepaid services ) the directions are usually in the box. Either you can purchase airtime/minutes with a debit/credit/check card or by a card and add the appropriate amount of minutes you will need or want for a specific time frame. for prepaid cards - first purchase the card at a local provider or you could do so through walmart.com i've made many purchases through them with prepaid cards. It takes a few hours for the pin number to show up in your email. You will follow the instructions that comes with the box, either you can call the 1-800 number and add the airtime there or use the webpage of the service provider ( such as AT&T or T-Mobile) and follow the necessary steps but make sure you are under the prepaid section once on the webpage or it will not work properly. Then you should receive a message (free of charge if with T-Mobile from my experience) stating you've successfully added airtime to your device. Enjoy!

Well, your question is answered by your last sentence. If you don't have a Verizon account the device won't work until you buy into one of their phone or data plans. Your Jetpack only works when it has a Verizon phone number assigned in an active Verizon account. (Although the Jetpack uses a phone number to operate, it can't be used to make or receive phone calls. It can only be used to exchange data wirelessly.) Good luck.

From what I have read online the setup requires some data to initially pass thru cellular, but can then be changed to go thru wifi. This is all easier to do thru a gsm as you can set it up with a prepaid sim and then switch. I however have a cdma palm pre plus so near impossible, and by that I mean $60. Check your local library for a book on webos, mine had one.

Depends on what your asking. If you can connect it straight to Verizon, like adding it onto your plan, I don't know. If your asking about general connection and if its possible, then yes. I use my hotspot to connect. I was going to purchase a jetpack from the Verizon store to be able to carry around a portable wifi, but where I needed to use it it wasn't going to get service. Hope that helps.
