rbertalotto Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 will the Unite Explore hotspot work with a Verizon SIM card? it currently has a TMobile sim installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckbear Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 It will work if it has been unlocked. If not, you will need to get the unlock code. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbertalotto Posted January 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I did a bit more research and it appears the Unite Explore only works with AT&T and TMobile carriers, will not work with Verizon and Sprint......is this accurate?

Bill Joyce Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 The Unite Explorer is built for AT&T's network bands and protocols. Since T-Mobile is mostly compatible with AT&T, it also works on their network but is missing some network (LTE) bands and will not have the same coverage as a newer T-Mobile device. Sprint and Verizon have a small overlap with AT&T on network bands,, but mostly are incompatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty77_7 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 For a Verizon SIM card HotSpot, here are some to consider: Jetback 8800L Novatel 7730L Negear AC791L They are launching a newer 5G version of I believe Jetpack(?) now too, but I'd wait on spending up for 5G gear for awhile. And if you do not need a lot of connections, nothing wrong with using a phone via Hotspot mode. We just stopped using our Verizon Samsung S6 after about three years of usage, up to 100GB+ per month while traveling (And another 100GB+ via ATT devices, depending upon which has the bet coverage at a given location.). If you want to, you can then slide the phone, or a MiFi device, into a WeBoost Sleek Amp, for enhanced signal in medium to low signal areas. And, you can either tether or wifi connect a phone to a inside the RV WiFi and Router provider. I like Wifi Ranger's GOac for this duty, but others exist. This can come in handy if you want to take a laptop or tablet outside, and still have a good signal within a certain range of our unit. Best of luck to you, Smitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
