FAQs
- Is pocket WiFi a hotspot? Collapsed link
If you have a portable WiFi device, it can effectively act as a portable WiFi hotspot. Typically, these 4G pocket hotspots require a SIM card to activate. This ensures you have a mobile internet connection similar to your smartphone (only a lot stronger and more reliable in areas of poor service). Your portable WiFi device also creates a sharable broadband connection capable of being spread among 10 or more users at once.

Yes, the Alcatel PHS is a reliable device that provides stable 4G connections in most places where 4G is available. This connection can also support upwards of 10 devices at once.
