Verizon sent me this unit after SPECIFICALLY requested a better, more expensive model. (Overstocked? Higher commission?) I had read the mediocre reviews on this one and decided against it. I also wanted to pay for it up front so as not to have 36 months of being nickel and dimed to death by Verizon. But no, they just show me an invoice that -looks- like it’s paid in full, but it’s not. So now I have to make a special effort to pay it off. Anyway, I use this unit in my trailer, so I have full-time USB power to keep it alive and charged. Unfortunately the unit whines at me if I leave it plugged in “too long” and says something unintelligible. It never seems to charge up fully and it’s pretty much always dead or near dead when I want to use it. So, I plug it in again, and it works, but still won’t charge. So - avoid this unit is you can. Not really thrilled with Verizon right now as I’ve been with them for over 20 years and they still treat new customers better than they treat me. They won’t even give he the time of day. When I switch to one oftheir competitors, THEN they’ll probably reach out to me. Too late!

Battery life is garbage

Sam23 . 1 month ago

This thing is ALWAYS dying. We try to keep it plugged in and it still dies constantly. Works fine when it isn’t dying. After looking at reviews months after buying it-I see we are not the only ones having this issue with it.

my Jetpack

Dale P . 1 month ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

works well. finds internet fine. however this is my 3rd jetpack !! the first one was recalled with a battery issue after 3 years. the 2nd one just plain quit after 5 years. Lastly the price has gone from 9.99/month to well over $60/month. this is over a 10 year span. if you travel to places with limited or no internet this jetpack is worth it. if you can always find internet, then pass.

I don’t understand all these negative reviews.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I've been using this hotspot in my airplane hangar for more than two years now, and it's been hooked up to two Wyse cameras and two smart outlets. It's always been plugged in and has never given me any problems.

Misses expectations

Doctor Don . 1 month ago

Misses on network speed. Not useful when I'm trying to get work done. Other Mobile Hotspots deliver what is expected. Plus the battery lasts for about 2 hours.

Horrible

Sheila . 1 month ago

Don't stay charged

Overall it works but with a few caveats

Ashley Graham . 2 months ago

Fairly easy to connect but often does not stay connected and I must reconnect several times. I usually have 3 devices (laptops) connected so there is no reason for it to disconnect so often and the battery life is terrible. I gave it a 3 star because as I said it works but if you require it to connect to multiple devices and stay connected then you may want something more reliable/stable.

Never works

Miguel . 2 months ago

Customer service is a disaster. We ordered a new Orbic through Verizon. It showed full signal however after 2-3 feet reception would fall apart. Not worth it. Stay away.

Nothing phenomenal

PattSW . 2 months ago

The speeds are laughably slow, considering it's a dedicated Hotspot. The Hotspot feature on my phone and tablet is much faster and more reliable. Plus, this overheats easily and the battery life is quite short, but you can't even remedy that with leaving it plugged in, because then it overheats and forces standby until the charger is removed. I wish I could refund this terrible thing. It's essentially been my overnight updater, and then game off of my phone or tablet.

The message "Retrieving data usage info" never goes away on the Home Screen, but I am able to go through the menu. There are 4-5 service bars, but I can't connect. I have rebooted, reset, removed and reinstalled the battery = nothing.
