I've been trying to shop around for a mobile hotspot to use as my home internet, but I'm not really having much luck finding anything that seems good. I saw this product on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-LTE-...rds=mobile+hotspot&qid=1602706160&sr=8-5&th=1
But I'm confused how all this works. Let's say I buy the above item. What then? I know it doesn't provide the internet service itself, so do I then need to sign up with AT&T or T-Mobile for a hotspot plan? Is it possible to even sign up for a plan with them without having to purchase their own equipment?
It sounds like you sign up with a carrier, get a SIM card, put it into the above device, and then you have internet, but it still seems confusing to me. The only plans I see on the carrier websites seem to be cell phone data plans. I have done searches for mobile hotspot plans and have found mention of some, but I can't seem to find much more information about them (like the actual carrier website for them).
Thanks!
