Can I get 4G with my TracFone? I think I know the answer.
Do I have to buy a smartphone and then sign a contract with a cell phone provider? And do I hook the phone up to the computer?
These may be stupid questions to you, but I honestly don’t know anything about these new-fangled phones. We have Trac-phones that cost $100/year, and they are off unless we want to make a call.
The device isn’t really a “phone” at all.
It’s called a “hotspot”.
It connects to the cellular network and acts as a WiFi.
Then your computer can connect to it wirelessly.
If your computer doesn’t have WiFi ability, you can get a plugin USB WiFi antenna pretty cheap.
The problem may be that it is pretty pricey.
You might look into “net zero”.
