    I think I seen a post on here about it but I couldn't find it so sorry for posting about it again .I was just wondering if anyone is using the straight talk mobile hotspots and if so how is the coverage. Does it do good for watching you tube or net flex while on the road ? and what is considered a roaming area on it

    Went to wmart to buy one and lucked out with honest knowledgeable techie advisef they are sketchy at best in tech terms. Was happy with the straight talk phone and hoping to save and avoid contract. I remember the post you are refering to.....the person could not get theirs to work so that affirms what i was told unfortunately.

    use FoxFi for tethering. just whatever you dont upgrade to android 4.4 or it wont work anymore.

    FoxFi is stealth on verizon network so long as you dont upgrade to android 4.4.

    so it keeps you from having to pay the $20 tethering charge.

    available for android phones only.
