As I understand it, the hotspot access is locked out on Verizon unless you pay for additional hot-spot access. Really, I don't even need several devices. I have that with my home connection. I just want to be able to connect my laptop when I'm roaming. The plans they have to connect several devices would be a great replacement if I didn't take the router with me everywhere I go, thereby leaving the home without internet. What use is a cell phone for connecting several devices unless you live on your own? That's another reason I think it's overkill to purchase their hotspot add on, it's more than I want, and they don't have something for just connecting your laptop for less. You pay to connect several devices or they lock out the feature and you can't connect any. All that with a phone that has the capability, and they go out of their way to block it. -- Thank you, Brandon _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
