Mifi2200 vs. VW Five Spot Global Ready 3G Mobile Hot Spot

Is my existing mifi2200 just as good as the new Verizon Wireless Five Spot Global Ready 3G Mobile Hot Spot? The mifi2200 is 5 spot also and I don't see any difference, so how can this be an upgrade? Isn't the mifi2200 a 3G also?

Is my existing mifi2200 just as good as the new Verizon Wireless Five Spot Global Ready 3G Mobile Hot Spot?
- Yes
I don't see any difference, so how can this be an upgrade?
- Its not an upgrade, just a newer and currently supported model. The 2200 is end of life and no longer produced.
Isn't the mifi2200 a 3G also?
- Yes
My suggestion:
If you are happy with your MiFi 2200 then stick with it. However, should you encounter any problems then Verizon is not likely going to help you out unless you move up to the current model. You can always buy another MiFi 2200 from ebay if thats the case.

Is there a way to turn on the mobile hot spot function for a day from the phone?

I have an unlimited data plan. It costs $30 a month to add the mobile hot spot feature which I only need a day or two a month. I know that it can be turned on and off via Custom Service and that I would only pay for the time it was on at roughly $1.00/day. Unfortunately, going through custom service is time consuming. Ideally I would like an app that lets me turn the mobile hot spot feature on and off from the phone.
There are two components to a mobile hot spot. First you need to active the feature through customer service at which point billing starts and then you need to enable it on the phone. The problem is activating and deactiving the feature.
Is there an app to do this?

FWIW, I'd love to turn off passcodes *permanently* on my five iOS devices running iOS 8.1.
Is this possible anymore?
So far, iOS 8.1 insists (after awhile) that I *must* re-implement a passcode.
(FWIW, with iOS 7 I could turn off passcodes permanently, sending iPads to sales prospects secure in the knowledge they could easily operate the iPad over the course of several weeks, reviewing media devoted to their projects, and not finding themselves locked out.)
Advice much appreciated.

Had mobile hot spot with 5g and then they moved it into my share paln

What a rip off. We went in to upgrade two phones..$400 and they told me I should change my family plan to a new share everything plan & it would be cheaper. What a scam. Now I get 2 gig data to share with a mobile hot spot & 2 data phones. The old plan had 5 g on the mobile hotspot FOR $50/MO.
THEY DID NOT INFORM ME THAT THe HOT SPOT WOULD HAVE TO SHARE DATA WITH THE REST OF THE PHONES. Now , on day after it's too late to return the upgrade phones & go back to my old plan I GET A WARNING THAT I'M OVER THE DATA ALLOWANCE.. Customer service did nothing but charge me $ 10 more a month until the contract runs out on the hot spot and then I tell them to put it where the, take this & you know.... the thing never worked very well in the first place. I think they should have giving me some free data for the next few month a least. Do you think they explain the so called up grades well????

When did the plan go into affect has it been more than 24 hours?

Where is the mobile hot spot

where is the mobile hotspot on my htc m8 windows phone..??

Jim,
Yes, I have a grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan for two of the 5 phones on
my account. The other phones are limited (2 GB). I know about the Share
Everything Plan, but not interested at this time.
WHAT I NEED is for ALL of you folks to understand that only nowŠ.ONLY
nowŠ.with the upgrade to the Jelly Bean OS is the Blue Tooth feature NOT
free anymore. YOU DID not have to pay for the Mobile Hot Spot. NOW YOU DO!
So far everyone at Verizon is replying to what is a current (with Jelly
Bean) reality. Know one has acknowledged that this was free and did not
require utilizing the Mobile Hot Spot at all to use.
Also, this is not a third party application. This is installed on the phone
in the original OS the RAZR Maxx shipped with as well as ICS and now Jelly
Bean. It is just not free anymore.
Thank you.

Extra for mobile hot spot service ?

Just so many people who may be on the fence about choosing Verizon be aware that the Loyalty 2 gig plan does not include mobile hot spot service.
We were never told that. We were sold that plan because we were told that was the best plan available and was only for long time customers like us.
I kept trying to figure out why every time my wife or I tried to access our hot spot feature it said to call verizon. So, I did. Some one there said I can help you and they said it would be taken care of. They just had to do something on their end to turn it on. After a week it still did not work. I called and was told I had to pay extra for that service. Verizon has been bleeding me monthly ever seen Verizon began and this kind of service is so typical. After spending thousands of dollars over many years they have never shown an ounce of good will. My advice is to choose a company that wants to be your service provider and that is not Verizon. We were sold a bad bill of goods and Verizon will not account for it.

It is an individual line. $50 total, before fees and tax and warranty.
This is different than some of the extra features like hotspot and 25GB cloud space (I get 5GB) that More Everything plans have.
So, instead of $40 line and $60 for 2GB or $50 for 1GB, it's an individual plan with no line charge essentially.

Sending email using Mail from T-Mobile Hot Spot

I cannot send email messages from a Hot Spot using the Mail program. It says it cannot send using the server smtp.mac.com. This is the first problem I've had with this. Today is my first day using a Hot Spot. Has anyone encountered this same issue? Do I have to change some of the settings?
I tried using the Internet based .Mac account and was able to send messages but not directly from Mail program.

5. Does T-Mobile provide me with an email account?
T-Mobile does not provide email accounts for its users.
6. Can I access my personal email account through my T-Mobile HotSpot account?
You can access any web-based email account such as Yahoo.com or Hotmail.com. You can also access corporate email accounts if your employer provides you with a virtual private network (VPN) client and a firewall. T-Mobile strongly recommends that its customers take measures to ensure the security of their wireless connections, such as virtual private networks (VPNs), encryption and firewalls. As with any wireless communication, the T-Mobile HotSpot service is not inherently secure and you should ensure you have adequate security safeguards in place. See the Hotspot Security Statement posted on our website for additional information concerning the security of the service and steps you can take to enhance the security of the service.

Droid x used as mobile hot spot not working

Just joined and have a problem with my droid x when using as a mobile hotspot. When I link it to laptop the laptop recognizes it and then when I look at my available networks it show up with excellent connectivity but no internet connection. I have tried on two different laptops and even at the verizon store but still no internet connection. Is there a cure for this problem.
Thanks ahead

RideOn,
Good afternoon! The great thing about the hot spot feature is that it can be removed and added at any time. I hope it served you well! If you are signed in as the account owner, you can sign into vzw.com/myverizon and click 'Change Features' under the I Want To.... section. If you are listed as an Account Manager, these options will not be available. Please keep me posted so I can assist further.
Thanks,

Verizon Wireless Fivespot Global Ready 3G Mobile Hotspot used with the new Kindlefire

Hi, The new Kindlefire by Amazon has been announced today. This device is wireless. I know I have had visiting family members connect their wireless "ITouch" up via my "5 Spot" but before I purchase the Kindle Fire need to be sure that it will work as well. In the specifications it says regarding wifin connectivity, the following:
"Supports public and private Wi-Fi networks or hotspots that use the 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, or 802.1X standard with support for WEP, WPA and WPA2 security using password authentication; does not support connecting to ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) Wi-Fi networks. "
I think I would be okay, but just would like some kind of verification that the Fivespot falls within the above description ... HELP!!!
Thanks!

Great news it sure does. You should have no problems using your Fivespot with the Kindlefire. Here's a link to the user manual to verify the specifications. This is a great link as well for support for the Fivespot I use it all the time. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
Thank you

Can I use my mobile hot spot in Europe?

Can I use the mobile hotspot feature on this phone in Europe?

Cmcculla, I hope you're planning on having some fun in Europe and not just business! I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Galaxy S III is not a global device and will only work on WiFi in Europe. A future update is expected to add global capability to this phone, but it is not available at this time. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Why Do I Have to PAY MORE MONEY?!?!?!?!? For The "Mobile Hot Spot"??

If I am ALREADY paying for an UNLIMITED access plan, why are they trying to extort more money from me?? Does it REALLY matter what device the data is being transferred to (Incredible/laptop)?? I guess UNLIMITED really DOES have it's LIMITS.... Is there a crrier that provides for this service free of charge or INCLUDES IT in their UNLIMITED plan?!?!?!?

T-Mobile doesn't allow tethering it's within the ToS you sign when you go with them. Carriers in Europe also charges for tethering. You want to add more devices to use up bandwidth you gotta pay for it. Internet bandwidth isn't free, but the content is.
Virgin Mobile: This is what you have to add to your mobile web plan if you want to tether. This does not include mobile web for your mobile device. You can tether with your devices just like T-Mobile, but if you get caught THEY have the right to terminate your contract or service and charge you the ETF.
Broadband2Go
Broadband2Go Plans
You may purchase a Broadband2Go data plan necessary to access the Internet from your laptop personal computer in the following data allocations ("Broadband2Go Plans"):
$10.00 for 100 megabytes ("MB")
$40.00 per month for unlimited mobile Internet (but not unlimited downloaded content)
When you purchase the $10.00 Broadband2Go Plan, your data usage will be deducted from the available data allocation. Unused data expire 10 days from the date the Broadband2Go Plan was activated on your account. If you use your allocation of data before the end of the data expiration date, you must purchase an additional Broadband2Go Plan to use the Broadband2Go service.
With the $40.00 Broadband2Go Plan, your monthly charge is due on the monthly payment date of your $40.00 Broadband2Go Plan. Your monthly payment date is based on the day of the month that you activate your $40.00 BroadBand2Go Plan, switch from another Broadband2Go Plan to the $40.00 Broadband2Go Plan, or restart the $40.00 Broadband2Go Plan. If you do not pay your monthly charge on your payment date, you will no longer have access to the Broadband2Go service, regardless of the balance in your account. When you next pay your monthly charge, you will receive the data allocation associated with that monthly plan. If you fail to pay your monthly charge when due, your payment date will be reset based on the day you successfully pay your monthly charge.
Most carriers will give you unlimited, but if you hit a certain point they'll throttle you down, but you still can use the internet. To even use 5G's a month is very hard to do unless you stream a lot of content.

Mobile Hot Spot on Driod Charge not working and can't figure out how to tether.

I called support and they told me the wifi hotspot was out system wide, not just on my Driod Charge. Can anyone confirm this? Also I was told I could tether my Charge with Verizon's software. The tech sent me the link to download the software. BUT, the download link has many choices as to which handheld you will be tethering. The Droid Charge is not one of them. Can anyone tell me which device that was listed will work with my phone?

Will be fixed with the update today & tonight:

Traveling to the Bahamas and Hot Spots for my iPhone

Can I use my phone in Nassau, Bahamas? And what charges/plans are there or will there possibly be?
Also, can someone explain a hot spot for me and is it free? I notice that I have to contact Verizon to get it set up, which makes me think it isn't free. I do have internet at my home.
Thanks!

Hello shellshell211
Yes your device will work in the Bahamas! Have a great trip! Here's a link that will explain the charges when you use your device in the Bahamas: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/tripplanner/tripplannercontroller
The hotspot application allows you to use your iPhone 4 to connect up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices. It's great feature that uses your iPhone as an internet source for other devices. Here's a great link with the mobile hot spot application pricing: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/plans/?page=mobileBroadband
Please let me know if you need any further assistance

Can't Make a Hot Spot!

Hi there,
I'm using Dreamweaver 8 to make a new website.
For some reason I can't make a hot spot. I've only made one
website before and just checked on those pages and was able to
click on the hot spot tools and draw a hot spot.
Then I go to my new website and click on an image and then
click on the hot spot tools and try to draw a hot spot on the
picture- what happens is the picture tries to "drag and drop". That
is the command that dreamweaver says is happening when I try to try
to draw the hot spot. ???????
What went wrong???
Here is the Html code behind the photo I'm trying to draw the
hot spot on:
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><img
src="graphics-headers/skyfooter.jpg" alt="Sky Footer" width="800"
height="45" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated as I don't know
what I did in the code that's preventing me from drawing them.
As I'm just starting making all my pages off my template-
found another problem:
Template won't update all the changes. For instance: Made a
change to the copyright footer - capitilized first letter- this
change won't update. Made changes to the page properties with a
link color change, also changed editable region- these changes
updated.
Weird!!! So the pages made from the template will be updated
only part ways from the original Template!
What did I do wrong? My first website went very well.
www.zoodoc-stories.com

When you create a polygonal hotspot, you don't click and
drag. You click at
the vertex of each side. Is that what you are doing?
Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes
not propagating
from Template to child -
1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in
the site other
than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the template (which
will not
propagate)
5. Assume that template changes can be uploaded to the server
without also
uploading the changed local files
6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between template
and child page
is broken
7, Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the
template,
adding page specific content, and resaving the template with
an *.html
extension rather that its *.dwt extension. (you can tell if
this is the case
by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything
like <!--
TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done)
The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced >
Recreate Site
Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing
them. Have you
done any of those?

Unlocked broadband/hot spot?

I assume many of us have unlocked phones for vacations. Has anyone unlocked a mobile hot spot? Is it possible? Is this product unlockable?
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/AT%26T+-+Elevate+4G+Mobile+Hotspot+(AT%26T)/2928135.p?id=1218402219974&s...
I want to take it to Alaska, Canada, China and Hong Kong. Data is super cheap in Asia ($20 a month for unlimited data) with a SIM card swap compared to local roaming charges.
