Nice display, but hard to set. Got it for a senior, and it is too hard for them to use. It is cheap, so what can you expect.

While the item is great, how I got it is a better story and one that is why I am a repeat BestBuy customer. I have bought a number of mobile devices from Best Buy, and I will continue to do so, why because they care about their mobile customers. I got an email a month or so about getting a mobile accessory for free, I looked at it and forgot about it.
They resent the email, and I had time to look at it and respond. So I already have one of these wireless Samsung Chargers, but this gives me another one for my office desk, or somewhere else. It is not the fastest, but it works even with the Otterbox on my phone.
While this a free gift from Best Buy it is a decent piece of equipment and well worth getting!

While at first, I was hesitant to purchase this as it was small and not bit enough. It turned out to be perfect, especially for interviews when you can hold it in the same hand you are holding your notebook. Also, you can leave it in your shirt pocket and it works well.
Battery life is a bit short, but that may be because you forget that it is on and ready to go. - Keep it charged by putting in your USB drive of your computer, or even an external phone power pod with a USB outlet.
One thing is that due to its shape and size it may get mixed up in your pens, or forgotten in a jacket pocket.

Combine incredible water resistance with a great screen and a powerful processor, and you get the Samsung Galaxy S7. It's built to withstand dunks in water for up to 30 minutes, and then you can wipe it off and get playing with a 5.1-inch touchscreen. The Samsung Galaxy S7 enjoys a quad-core processor for ultra-fast responsiveness.

It is always great to get the latest and greatest in technology, so when the time came to upgrade to a new phone, I delayed a bit, and finally decided I needed the S7.
So far for me, not in a big need of super tech, I have found it not much different, and really not worth spending the money on. Though it is nice to have a fresher battery, and a fresh new phone, if I had to do it over, I would have waited. Still think maybe I should have gone to the iPhone, but I am comfortable using this system.
The S7 is not really much different in use than the S5 was, so it was an easy transition to using the new phone.

When I got the S7 this disc charger, where you place your phone on top to charge came as part of an incentive package to buy the phone,
I was worried it would not work with my Otterbox cover, while it does for a short time, it does not for the long run. If I put my phone (in the cover) on the charger overnight, the phone is never charged in the morning. at most it is quarter charged, never more. So while it probably works better without a phone cover, I have decided to just plug the phone in instead, cause, when you get up in the morning, the last thing you need to find is a phone without a full charge.

I was wary about these annual upgrades

So I only needed one program out of the Adobe Creative Cloud, and yes I did know there were other programs on there, and yes, I did need them. So last year I reluctantly bought the annual pass for the program.
When it came up again this year, I said well, you need to see what else you are getting. And when I did, I saw it was a lot of programs that I could use and would improve the performance of the work I produce. They even have enough help and tutorial links that I could not just say, and I do not know how to use them.
When I renewed, I found out that all my programs had upgrades, and they worked better than before. I am sure I could have done an upgrade under the old license, but buying this new one made me realize the power that I had and how I could improve the quality of the work I produce.
So enough already, time to get back to making videos to go with my printed word.
Very Impressed, glad I purchased this!

I have owned a couple of these cellular hotspots in the past. It has been great to have your own internet when traveling, you never want to use public wifi if you don't have too, with all the fraud and phishing going on.
The price of the Ellipsis jetpack was great, and 10G for 60 days is only a hundred bucks.
I needed this for a project where we had 15 people going online for a seminar, and the location's wired internet was terrible. This worked very well.
Easy to connect, Easy to set up your account, (much better than in the past which took forever to even renew your pre-paid account)
For sure would recommend.

This device is to provide me with wifi right? So I won't be using up all of my data plan allotment?

It has its own data plan, and does not connect to your phone's plan. The unit will get a separate cell number and you buy your data plan as you need it.

What is the battery life of this device?

I have used it for about 6 hours before the battery is used up, or just plug it in and keep it charging while you use it, if you are near an outlet.

I have also plugged it in to an external battery source, like I do with my cell phone, without issue.

Let's say I do a lot of business traveling. How advanced is this product for laptops and tablets? Scale of 1-10.

I use it for my laptop, my cell phone (to save on that data plan - or when I have exceeded it) and a couple of i-Pads, it will connect to 8 devices.

What is purchasing this jetpack for? I purchase this jetpack but it doesn't have any internet on it? What will I have to pay again for the data to be on there?

You purchase the hardware first, then you purchase the service next. It does not come with service, that is an extra charge.

How do I know how much data to purchase? Two-week vacation and would use to check e-mail and social media every day or so. If I don't buy enough data, how easily accessible are the pre-paid cards? Need to be find an electronics store? Thanks!

Buy a plan based on useage or time. You can order these on BestBuy.com as well.

Nope, no Cell Service, No data service.

I used my Verizon Phone in the location first to see the level of service, it was good, so I knew that I could use the jetpack.

I'm interested in purchasing this device to work on an online class when I'm in locations without wifi. How much does the data plan cost? I will need internet for one month and I hope to connect for 2 hours a day, five days a week.

I bought these for use in a location that had lousy wired internet.

Worked great (make sure you have a good cell signal - mine use Verizon) they have varing plans, but the $100 option gives me 60 days with 10Gb.

You can get a month for less.

It is a great tool!

Will it fit in the original mini iPad ?

Having trouble finding the cable that has the small end for the mini iPad. The new cables are larger and do not fit. Will this one work on the original mini iPad?
Thanks
Lighting cable is what you need, the old cables had the long connector, the newer connectors are called lighting cables, and are much easier to use. So far all I have see is for them used on Apple products. Now if you have the old and the new units, you will need different cables.

They are pretty easy to find.
