I had a really hard time getting it to connect. I researched internet, reached out to Alcatel. I was about ready to give it up. And it's slower than my old hot spot that was 10 years old.
TO save you time digging through Google, all you need to do is create a new profile, add your phone number and then set the APN to "Wholesale" then save. Next choose the profile you just made from the dropdown list and set it to default. Then it will allow you to turn on the data from the sim card and use it as wifi.
I didn't feel like i got great wifi from this, but hard to say if it is Mint or the hotspot, I can say if I buy another, it will be one with a digital display that offers more information on the device. This does not indicate how much battery life the hotspot has, and it is not clear how many bars connected you are. You will need to log into the wifi router settings which acts as a little app, to view these things. So, it isn't very convenient. But, for the money, I think it works great.
When I relocated the device to my motorhome and took a trip, it would connect to the AT&T network only intermittently. When it connected, it worked well, but the flakiness was not going to work for me. To make a long story short, I had to reset the device to factory settings by pressing and holding the power and WPS buttons until all of the LEDs flashed four times (this requires patience - it doesn't happen quickly). Since doing this, it has worked flawlessly again. (I'll have to see how long it continues to work before requiring another reset.)
It was Alcatel support that gave me the procedure for the factory reset; however, it took a long time to get them to respond. For this reason, I will withhold that 5th star. If I end up having to reset again, I may come back and remove another star. I hope this is helpful.
Original review:
I use Verizon for the most part but I do a lot of RV camping and sometimes AT&T is a better (or only) carrier. Before retiring, my work phone was AT&T and my personal phone was Verizon, so I had my bases covered. I returned my work phone to my employer when I retired so, I needed another AT&T solution.
I bought an AT&T prepaid phone and signed up for the "unlimited data" plan only to find out that unlimited data on AT&T does not include hotspot tethering, the very reason that I bought the phone in the first place. Talking to an AT&T customer support person, he explained that there are hotspot plans available but they don't always work well with phones that are designed for talk, text and data. He suggested that I get a hotspot device. Well, in researching hotspot devices (such as this Alcatel) it became clear that they will work with the unlimited data and not just the "hotspot" data (which plans all have data limits).
So, I bought this device and took the SIM card out of the AT&T phone (an LG Phoenix) went to put it into the Alcatel only to find that it takes a mini SIM card and the LG has a nano. Now, I live out in the country and the nearest place for me to gat an adapter was an hour drive in each direction and I had a camping trip starting the next day. So, I ordered the adapter from Amazon and it was delivered today.
With the adapter, I was able to use the nano SIM from the AT&T phone and it worked immediately and flawlessly (as far as I can tell). I hooked my FireTV to the Alcatel and streamed an episode of Nova without touching any of the remaining Hotspot data that I had added to the "unlimited data" plan ($10 for 5GB - what a joke!). I'm leaving on another camping trip in two days to a place that I know has no Verizon but decent AT&T service. If this device works well there, I'll add a star to this review.
