is there a monthly fee to use this device

No monthly fee, but internet service is necessary. Works as most other wireless routers

Not at all. The only fee paid, is for the ISP service you are connecting the device to. The device itself is 100% free to operate.

No. But you do have to have access to a network connection. So for example if you're staying in a hotel which has poor wi-fi (I just stayed in such a place recently) but there is a wired internet connection, you can simply hook this up and have your own wi-fi connection. If you're planning on using this for your home network, there would be the normal monthly internet connection fee through your cable or telephone or satellite TV company. But that monthly charge happens whether you're using this device or not.

NO, there is no monthly fees. This is great unit and I still use it almost every day. But, it basically has the same functionality of a smart phone (Iphone, Android phone), plus a $2-$3 app (e.g tunein) and a speaker (like Ihome or JBL) designed for smart phone. Any stations that you can get on this radio, can be gotten on the smart phone or a tablet with WiFi and then routed to the speaker.

Yes. That's not a problem. They will include a monthly data fee, if it is not part of your plan already, (for updates) but not enough to use the internet regularly.

I dont' pay anything. I think the only way you have to pay a monthly fee is if you use there cloud for storage of your documents. I store them on my PC so I don't pay anything. Hope that helps

No you don't, however in order to set up the device you have to use your visa to activate and they charge you a fee. My understanding in purchasing this was that the first month is free well its not. It only works in the US too

I don't know, I've never used the device, it costs too much $50/month subscription to use it.

The only charge is an annual subscription for the service. Everything else is free. Works really good so far I must say.

Well I know you need to register the product with a credit card or debit card. I have not been charged a montnly fee yet. I was told it is 50 dollars. I can tell you that this device is so necessary and important. If it has not been for this device Iwwould have lost my son.

Its $30 a month. Cancel anytime. It works pretty good. Phone support is excellent. Over all very happy with device and service.

I was told by Verizon there is a $20.00 month to month fee for service. If the SIMM from the original device is placed in this one, everything will continue without any change.

I believe yes and yes and after buying the equipment I spend $4 per month. I switched my same number over to it and I love it. It's a huge money savings and it has more features than my old expensive phone service. Get it and then be patient setting it up.

No, you don't pay a monthly fee- I usually buy minutes for 3 months at a time and what I don't use roll over. It is possible to buy minutes for a whole year but I don't always use my phone very much so the 3 month deal works for me.

My offer was 500mb free and so far that has been true. I am required to use the device at least once a month to maintain the free service

Mine did not work and they would not reimburse me the monthly fee. I was never able to use the device.

There are no monthly payment options for this tablet if you buy it from Amazon. Same as if you bought an iPad from this site. The only way you can get a plan is if you buy the tablet from a service provider. Hope this helps

there is an initial turn on fee, then a monthly pay as you go fee. the monthly rates vary depending on the frequency of data down load- 1 sec. up to 5 mins. Find their web site for accurate rate info. they are also available by phone for questions , even prior to purchase. that tel. # is also on the website-great customer service and easy to use the product and program ( I am not real tech savvy).

Yes there are a LOT of fees. Look it up on their website. I paid nearly $300 in contract and subscription fees just to get fed up with this grossly unreliable piece of junk and toss it into my saddlebag. If you want an electronic device to save you and bring the cavalry running, you're wasting your money on Spot. I bought it for my Alaska motorcycle trip. What a useless piece of junk. Always shutting off. Always disconnecting. DON'T BOTHER! And I'm an IT professional - I DO have a clue.
